Joshua Jackson & Jodie Turner-Smith's Age Gap Is Bigger Than We Thought

Age is just a number; granted, it's a super hard one to pin down with celebrities these days. Thanks to the miracles of retinoids, it can be tricky to deduce just how old someone is. Jodie Turner-Smith, a flawless goddess, always looks incredible. Her possibly soon-to-be ex-husband Joshua Jackson isn't as youthful as he was on his "Dawson's Creek" days, but he doesn't look almost a decade Turner-Smith's senior! That's right, Jackson is eight years older than the British model.

Get ready for another shock, because Turner-Smith was born in 1986. We'll let you do the math, but the actor in no way looks her age. Jackson was welcomed to the world in 1978, in a whole different decade than his former spouse. To illuminate the gap a bit more, consider Jackson's role in "Dawson's Creek."

When the pilot premiered in 1998, Jackson was cast as 15-year-old high school student Pacey Witter, even though he was really 20 at the time. When it aired on television, it is possible that Turner-Smith's parents may have deemed the content too mature for her, as she was only 12. But age wasn't as important as compatibility by the time they met in 2018 at 40 and 32, and compatibility is something they seemed to have for nearly half a decade.
