Josh Peck Points Out to Huge Miscast in 2012 Remake of Red Dawn

In a humorous throwback, actor Josh Peck recently poked fun at the decision made by MGM/UA Entertainment Company to cast him as Chris Hemsworth's brother in the 2012 remake of the cult classic, Red Dawn. Sharing a shared memory on Instagram, Peck uploaded a throwback photo from the film accompanied by a witty caption: "#tbt to when a major studio believed @chrishemsworth and I could play brothers. Stay delulu y’all." This tongue-in-cheek commentary was well-received by fans who joined the joke, suggesting the duo looked alike and expressed their fondness for the movie. This is prepared by SSP.

Despite the absence of a convincing familial resemblance, with Chris Hemsworth reprising a role initially portrayed by Patrick Swayze alongside his set sibling, Peck cherished the light-hearted fan reactions remarking on their unlikely kinship. One fan humorously commented, "If you squint hard enough you can see what they saw," while others praised the movie's nostalgic appeal, thus echoing sentiments like, "such a great movie!!!!"

Though MGM/UA Entertainment, plagued by financial issues, distributed it years after filming, Red Dawn marked a new era in Josh Peck's diverse acting career. Preceding this role, he enjoyed fame on Nickelodeon's Drake and Josh. His subsequent endeavors saw him starring in sitcoms such as How I Met Your Mother and Grandfathered and taking on a notable dramatic role in the 2023 historical drama Oppenheimer. Peck's inclination toward self-deprecating humor is evident as he remarked on participating in Oppenheimer through a widely-viewed TikTok video after winning an Oscar for Best Picture.
