Not playing teenager is 'brilliant' for Carey Mulligan

Actress Carey Mulligan, who turns 30 this month, says she's relieved that her face is maturing, because it means she will no longer be cast as a teenager.

"I spent a lot of my early 20s playing teenagers because of my baby face," mirror.co.uk quoted her as saying.

"My agent has started saying, 'You've been offered this part, she's 19, you're too old', and I'm like, 'I'm too old? Brilliant! I've never been too old'. All the great parts come now, I think, so I'm excited," she added.
