How Old Is Dewey In Scream 1

So, you're here because you've been wondering, "How old is Dewey in Scream 1?" Well, grab a latte, let's dive in!

First off, let's meet Dewey, our beloved geek turned hero. He's the guy who's always got a movie reference ready, and let's face it, we all needed a Dewey in our high school.

Now, Scream hit theaters in 1996, right? So, let's set the scene. Dewey, played by David Arquette, is a senior at Woodsboro High. That makes him, what, 17 or 18?

But here's the thing, David Arquette was actually 25 when they filmed Scream. Can you believe it? He was playing a high schooler while we were all still trying to figure out algebra!

So, in the movie, Dewey's a senior. But in real life, David was already old enough to rent a car without a parent. Mind. Blown.
