Angelina Jolie was 29 years old when she played the role of Olympias, Alexander's mother in Alexander. History shows that Olympias was a couple of decades older than this young actress, but Jolie added strength to the character to showcase intense devotion to her son throughout the film.

While some people raised concerns about the age gap, Jolie's acting made it clear that actors can get away with a lot if they truly embody their character, making her portrayal of Olympias one of the film's standouts.
