Okay, let’s be real: if you’ve been watching The Summer I Turned Pretty, you’ve definitely Googled “How old is the cast?” while simultaneously wondering if you should be booking a trip to Cousins Beach. The answer? It’s a glorious mix of actual youth and Hollywood magic. Let’s break down the ages, shall we?
First up, our beloved love triangle. Lola Tung, who plays the eternally indecisive (but totally relatable) Belly, was born in 2002, making her 22 as of 2024. She perfectly captures that “I’m almost an adult but still obsessed with a red cup” energy. Then there’s Christopher Briney (Conrad). He’s a little older, clocking in at 26 (born 1998). He’s got that brooding, “I read poetry and cry in the rain” vibe down pat. And Gavin Casalegno (Jeremiah)? He’s the baby of the trio at 24 (born 1999), bringing the sunshine and the questionable surf skills.
Now, for the adults who somehow look even better than we do. Jackie Chung (Laurel) is 45, and Rachel Blanchard (Susannah) is 48. They’re proof that aging is optional if you live in a beach house. And let’s not forget Sean Kaufman (Steven), who at 27 is actually older than Conrad in real life. Plot twist!
Must Read
Here’s the funny part: the actors range from 22 to 48, yet on screen, they’re all squished into one chaotic summer. It’s a beautiful lie we willingly buy, like believing we could ever pull off a white sundress without spilling lemonade.
So, what’s the takeaway? These actors are young enough to make us nostalgic, but old enough to drive the conversation. Whether you’re Team Conrad, Team Jeremiah, or Team “Please Just Pick a Swimsuits,” remember: age is just a number, but this show is a whole mood. Now go rewatch the season finale—for the plot, obviously.
