I don’t know how reliable this is, but it seems legit and with his popularity I do think it’s possible.
What’s everyone’s thought on this as a rumor and as a potential actual casting?
I think he was supposed to be late 40s when he got his powers, Sue was mid 20s
And no one would bat an eye at that in 60s, 70s or 80s and people would laugh it off in the 90s. But in 2024? We’re not so cool with that anymore.
You know that famous early psychology experiment about prison?
The professor was 40/50 years old and banging his early 20s grad student. One night he was laughing about how one participant begged for hours to be let go, and Zimbardo just wouldn’t stop talking until the kid stopped asking to leave. So the kids parents staged a prison break on the fake prison and got him out.
He wanted to keep going, but she told him she wouldn’t have sex with him till he ended it.
He ended it the next day
Zimbardo is still active in academics and treated like a celebrity.
Shits real fucked up how those relationships were almost encouraged. Especially considering how hard it was for women to get into science back then.
But yeah, I think they’ll shrink the age gap to like 35-25.
