Illegalize the "older man problem" in Hollywood's actor casting system

Created by B.L. on October 08, 2016

The "older man problem" is referred to as a scenario in Hollywood's casting system of a particular project where two individuals are to portray romantic interests, however, the actors have an age gap of 5 years or more, and even some actors have stated its becoming an issue. Known talent, such as Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, and Scarlett Johannson have all experienced scenarios such as this. But these Hollywood-supporting people don't see the ideal on-screen couple-matching problem with a more realistic age gap: 2 years apart. The only thing the state of California has done is pass a law removing actors' ages from IMDB account when asked. So, I want the truth in federal government to do more than that. I want the US government to make the "older man problem" go away and ban big age gaps.
