The actor of Pennywise looks young


He looks like some teenager dressed up as a more gritty version of Pennywise

reply

He IS young, but i dont think he looks young in costume. Well I mean, in a way, yes. But I actually thought in a way he looks kind of not any age, which works for Pennywise, because as we all know Pennywise is timeless and ageless

Pennywise is an ageless thing resembling a clown. The only part of the book you could interpret as a hint of his age is when old Mrs Kersh claims he is her father. But I doubt you'd want Pennywise to look like a 80+ year old man.

reply

IT is eternal, thus Pennywise looking the same age since IT took that façade - centuries ago. But we all new that, didn't we.

Plenty of real clowns are in their twenties.
