Natalie Portman, a rising star in the early ’90s thanks to her role in Leon, was a shining example of this.

Leonardo was 21 years old, while Natalie was only 13.
According to the Things, Portman stated that she was let go because of a complex situation. Leonardo was only 21 at the time and Portman was 13. It was a mutual decision that it wasn’t right at the moment.” Claire Danes replaced Portman in the Disney caper.
