This is how old the cast of Netflix teen drama Fakes are in real life

Let’s just say in real life, they don’t need fake IDs


Netflix has just released new teen drama Fakes, which follows school best friends Zoe and Rebecca who end up building one of the largest fake ID empires in the country. Watching their criminal enterprise grow as we learn all about their personalities too is a whirlwind of drama. But the big question is: How old are the cast members in real life? Would the Fakes cast need to fake their ages and use fraudulent IDs?

It’s not entirely clear how old the characters are meant to be in the show, but it looks as though they could be around 18 or 19. Which is a lot younger than a lot of the cast members who play them. Here are the ages of all the cast members of Fakes on Netflix.
