Claire Danes is seven years younger than her My So-Called Life love interest Jared Leto - yet she handled their romantic scenes with professionalism. "A little [awkwardness], but it was OK," Danes, 46, told The Guardian in a Friday, October 31, profile of their onscreen kisses. "I had barely kissed a boy and here I was making out with this Adonis, and I didn't even know how to interpret the stage directions." Danes landed the role of Angela Chase on My So-Called Life when she was just 14 years old. Leto, now 53, was 21 when he was cast as her onscreen crush, Jordan Catalano.
