James Gandolfini's age when he started The Sopranos has spun everyone out

It’s been 15 years since The Sopranos suddenly and infamously cut to black, but fans are still investigating and uncovering the show’s various little details.

The series followed late actor James Gandolfini as main character Tony Soprano while he juggled his job as a mob boss alongside being a husband and father.

Over the years, many of the debates and theories about the series have focused on its controversial final episode, which abruptly stopped in mid-sentence.

But one fan of the show discovered something this week that concerned the show’s very first episode: James Gandolfini’s age when the pilot was filmed.

Gandolfini, who died in 2013 at the age of just 51, was 37 when he started working with David Chase on the HBO series.

And this revelation – which isn’t exactly new information, but still shocked the Twitter user who brought it up – has got people talking.

In addition, both of Tony’s children were already teenagers when the show started. Meadow (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) was 17, while A. J. (Robert Iler) was 14.

The Sopranos is available to stream on NOW.
