You might be surprised to learn how young—or old—some stars were in iconic scenes. That detail can add a new layer of appreciation to their performance. We’re about to uncover that piece of the puzzle.

While Big Trouble in Little China was being made, Kurt Russell was:

34 years old

That number reflects the celebrity’s real age when the movie was made.

This age was calculated based on the beginning of the release year of Big Trouble in Little China:
