Trending
Jesse Metcalfe was 25 when he appeared as John Rowland, the teenage gardener of Desperate Housewives, in 2004. The character with whom Eva Longoria's Gabrielle Solis was to have an affair was written as a high schooler. Metcalfe's age made him older than the role, but the youthfulness in his features made the age gap work on camera.
The salacious storyline brought much attention, which was all Desperate Housewives needed to become a cultural phenomenon. It was a defining moment in Metcalfe's career, leading to bigger opportunities.
