Aging Up on Screen: Diesel La Torraca Navigates His Role in Ginny & Georgia

As Ginny & Georgia fans dive into the much-anticipated third season, one face stands out—not just for his comedic chops, but for the striking difference in his age. Diesel La Torraca, who now proudly claims his status as a 14-year-old, continues to portray the precocious and lovable Austin, who is, hilariously, still stuck at age nine.

A Viral Moment

Since the launch of the latest season on Netflix, Diesel has taken the internet by storm, sparking viral moments across social media platforms. In a cheeky TikTok, he quipped, “Me tryna convince ppl that Austin is still 9,” perfectly capturing the delightful absurdity of his character’s age discrepancy.

Time Stands Still for Austin

In a candid conversation with Teen Vogue, Diesel acknowledged the quirky situation, reflecting on how the show only lightly addresses Austin’s stagnant age. “In the very first episode, there’s a line where Ginny mentions he’s nine, and since then… well, we’ve mostly just rolled with it!” he chuckled.

The actor elaborated on the challenges that come with maintaining the persona of a nine-year-old over six long years. “Playing someone who is effectively eight years younger than I am now has made things interesting,” Diesel confessed. “There are noticeable changes in how I move and express myself. Sometimes, I even have to slouch or raise my voice a bit to channel that shy, insecure vibe Austin embodies.”

The Balancing Act

While Diesel may be growing up before our very eyes, the dedicated young actor finds ways to stay connected to Austin. He humorously noted his little tricks for height adjustments—bending his knees or having co-stars stand on apple boxes to create the illusion of age-appropriate interactions.

What’s Next for Ginny & Georgia?

Fans of the series will be delighted to know that Ginny & Georgia isn’t fading into the background anytime soon. The show’s creator has confirmed a fourth season is on the way, and without a doubt, we can expect a more seamless transition between these seasons than in the past.

As Diesel La Torraca navigates the ups and downs of teenage life on and off the screen, his playful spirit and genuine affection for his character make him a joy to watch. With a bright future ahead, one thing is certain: the journey of Austin is far from over, and we can’t wait to see what unfolds next!
