The only reason I take issue with Pinocchio’s hair and eye(?) color changing is that when Mr Gold figured out that August wasn’t Bae, August taunted him a little bit saying, “Do I even look like him?”. That sort of indicates that The adult should bear some resemblance to the child. That’s my only beef.
That’s my problem too. I’m actually beginning to think that the casting directors hired two completely different looking actors just to throw us off. Usually, I like those sorts of tricks, but when the show has already established that they pay close attention to the physical appearance of the characters’ younger counterparts, it makes Pinocchio even that more frustrating. Little Snow looked IDENTICAL to Snow White and Mary Margaret. Everything about her screamed Ginnifer Goodwin. So, why couldn’t the casting director do the same with Pinocchio?
Yes, that was my issue with August being Pinocchio instead of Bae too. It felt like they cared more about fooling the audience into thinking that August was Bae instead of trying to make him look more like young Pinocchio which I felt was rather cheap trick ince I think August still could have fooled Rumple into thinking that he was Bae, even if he didn’t have darker hair, because Rumple was just so desperate to believe that his son had returned. Not that I expected a perfect match, but for me Eion Bailey certainly looks a lot more like Dylan Schmid than Jakob Davies.
I’m just going to be even angrier if and when adult Bae might appear on the show if he does look like Eion Bailey, at least in terms of hair and eye color, because of August’s comment.
