did they ever give any indication of how long the internship was? LIke it could have been a summer internship, or something they did parallel to their law degree (idk that's a thing we do in australia sometimes idk about usa)
(i knwo the actors are often older than characters but for reference Cox is 32 and Elden is 37)
so bachelors is done by 22 and they're 25 by the time they finish law school. Lets assume the internship was short term, summer internship to a year maybe? Factor in a couple of months of misc. things in between (looking at offices, part time work, etc etc)
I mean I would comfortably say they're 27 at least? Pushing into early 30's if the internship went longer or there were gap years involved.
i forgot to mention that there is a strong possibility that Foggy and/or Matt did not go straight into law school or straight into college. they may have chosen to take part time jobs for a bit and save some money (or maybe Foggy needed to help his family out a bit) + possible gap years and such.
so that could add a couple more years to the ages if you wanted to and would be a good way for authors to justify an older age
Also, Matt could have very reasonably graduated high school a couple of years late. I imagine he missed quite a lot of school after the accident, and later after Jack died, when his senses really kicked into overdrive.
