'Love Scout' Lee Joonhyuk: "When I was in my 20s, I played characters that were in their 40s. Please let it slide"

In the drama, Yoo Eun-ho is a character born in 1991. This means Lee Jonhyuk is playing a character who is much younger than himself, who was born in 1984.
Lee Joonhyuk laughed shyly, saying "I didn't know. I really didn't." He continued, "Isn’t it something we just brush off?" and added, "When I was in my 20s, I often played characters who are in their 40s. In 'I Am Legend,' I played the role of a father who was 8 years older than Kim Jungeun Noona. I was 26 back then and I tried really hard to look old. Back then, I had this fantasy about method acting, so I thought, 'I have to look old. I have to be immersed in the role. I should drink, not sleep, and smoke cigarettes." He then added, "Since I played characters that were older than myself back then, please excuse me for playing a character that is younger than me now."
-He looks younger than real '91-linersㅋㅋㅋ The 91-liners in real life are just Ahjussis.
-All the '91-liners guys these days have pot bellies...
-He's a cool guy...
-Let's just let it slide, guysㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Who’s saying something about this!! Everyone, be quiet!!
-Nope. If you want us to let it slide, please act in 3 more romance dramas.
-Ahㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I didn't even notice that since he's really handsomeㅋㅋㅋ
-I'm a '91-liner and all my friends, including me, look like Ahjummas and Ahjussis more than he does...
-Ah, this is so funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I really like Lee Joonhyuk.
-He doesn’t look like a 91-liner... He's handsome, but he gives off a late '80-liner in the drama. Especially since his child is quite grown. My '91-liner friends' kids are around kindergarten age at most.
-I'm a '88-liner and I'm grateful that I got to enjoy seeing Lee Joonhyuk as a younger guy in this drama.
-They're so mean to make him play characters who are in their 40s when he was in his 20sㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Please star in more rom-com dramas while you're at it.
-He's cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I thought Yoo Eunho was in his mid to late 30s.
-'91-liners aren't even in their 20s anymoreㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What's the problem ㅋㅋㅋ
