Well, he's between 50-60 in the book. Though I think Christine was about 20. In the book Raoul is 20-21, and Christine is supposed to be around the same age. Rossum was 17 when they filmed, but I think she was meant to be older.
Also, I'm alright with the director's decision to use a younger, sexier cast. He wanted a Phantom that was appealing enough for an audience to have hope on his behalf that Christine will choose the crooning broodster, while also - because of his actions - understand why she'd go with the safer, full deck of cards Raoul.
Me? A little eye droop would not have gotten in my way of mounting Butler Phantom like the sex pony he is.
Book Phantom? No nose, skull-like appearance Phantom?
Well, there might still be mounting. I have SUCH a thing for magicians.
Heh.
