This is Dylan O'Brien, famous for Maze Runner. As you can see from his visuals, he's got that classic high teen movie male lead materialโvery boyish vibes that North American teens and Asians love. (Borrowed some slang from female-oriented sites here.)
The problem is, even as he gets older, his face stays exactly the same... He tries growing a beard to change his image, but it just looks... off. He's tried bulking up and taking on all sorts of genres, but no matter what he does, he's just 'that kid from Maze Runner' from 12 years ago, 'the Maze Runner guy,' or 'the Maze Runner lead.' There are some legendary senior actors who went through this same struggle:
Frodo with a beard
Harry Potter with a beard
The Spider-Man from like 4 generations ago with a beard
The current Spider-Man with a beard. Changing your image really isn't easy. It also seems like having a baby face isn't always a good thing in the West. Source: Single Bungle Earth Gallery
"Users discuss how being cursed with eternal youth (the 'baby face' trap) leads to typecasting for famous actors, with some noting that looking rugged is better for male actors in the West, while others remind everyone that being a rich one-hit wonder is better than being a broke nobody."
