    Ah, Paul actually looks like the kid he is supposed to be at that time.

      Exactly, Kyle MacLachlan was perfect for the role of Agent Cooper but I will never get what Lynch was thinking when casting him as Paul Atreides.

        I don’t know, maybe he fits better as the older Muad’dib a few years later on. But pretty much every movie had the problem that Paul just looks much older than 15.
        It’s probably too much hassle for them to find two actors in the approopriate age categories that look somewhat similar to each other to sell that they are the same young person a few years later on.
