Viewers of Disney Plus‘s Percy Jackson and the Olympians have been curious about the ages of Clarisse La Rue, the daughter of Ares, and Luke Castellan, the son of Hermes, ever since the show dropped. Here is all you need to know.
How old is Clarisse in Percy Jackson and the Olympians?
Dior Goodjohn’s Clarisse La Rue is between 13 and 14 years old in Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Due to being between 13-14 years old in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Dior Johnson’s Clarisse La Rue, the demigod daughter of Ares, is two years older than her bullying victim Percy Jackson, and also Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood, all of whom are between 12-13 years old. Clarisse’s age in the series is a more accurate representation of her age in the books, in which she’s older than Percy, Annabeth, and Grover by a year or two.
How old is Luke in Percy Jackson and the Olympians?
Charlie Bushnell’s Luke Castellan is 19 years old in Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Bushnell’s Luke Castellan being 19 years old makes him seven years older than Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood. This is also a more accurate representation of the character from the books, where he was 7 years older, which allowed him to take on the role of being an older brother figure and mentor of sorts to Percy and Annabeth. Charlie Bushnell, the actor behind Luke, was only a few months younger than his character at the time of the series’ filming.
Luke’s age in the Disney Plus series is unlike the character’s depiction in the Percy Jackson & The Olympians films starring Logan Lerman, wherein he was depicted as being around the same age as Percy and Annabeth, which was a criticism the films faced from fans of the books.
