In all honesty there's no generalized "too young" or "too old" because of one thing: Everyone is different.
There are 10 year olds out there who are more mature than people in their 50's. Whether it's because of their parents, friends, extended family, siblings, or what have you is irrelevant. Sometimes you'll find a kid out there who can make you look like a child in a conversation because they're just that articulate and cool-headed compared to you.
This is incredibly rare, mind you. But it does happen.
So I would say it's not so much about being "too young" or "too old." It's more about whether or not you're at a point in your life where your maturity level will allow you to function appropriately as a respectable human being first. And this is an entirely different discussion.
For this conversation though, I'll say that a role-player is a role-player. Whether they're 10 or 70 should make no difference. "Can they create an interesting character and play them well?" is the most important question to ask. So long as you treat them appropriately they will, more than likely, do the same for you.
At least that's my two cents on the matter.
Cheers!
