People do seem to have aged more rapidly until a few decades ago. Perhaps all the cigarette smoke weathered them.

Also probably time spent in the sun.

Don't forget the leaded paint and asbestos.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago

Don't worry ... the layers of lead paint protected them from the asbestos underneath

Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart looked like they were 55 between the ages of 25 and 85. Conversely, Paul Rudd and Joseph Gordon-Levitt looked like they were 15 between the ages of 15 and 40.

Aging is weird.

It was interesting when I realized that Patrick Stewart was my age in the first season of Next Generation.

Jesus Christ don't say that ..... you just made me look it up and realize how true this statement was for myself as well .... what have I done with my life?

What, you're not the captain of a starship yet? Loser!

I'm a character stuck inside a transporter buffer that will never materialize .... I exist but will never appear :(

I'm just a few short years away, myself. Woof, hadn't realized that.

"Le Tits Now, Alex"

[-] archaicpixels@sh.itjust.works 48 points 2 months ago

The Connery photo is natural lighting and properly exposed for his skin tone. The newer photo is artificially lit, much brighter for the skin tone and could have been retouched to blur the skin some. The photo on the right may have also had makeup on, vs on the left not likely.

[-] coaxil@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

All true, but, that's a fucking very aged looking 34 regardless.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 38 points 2 months ago

Arch Linux. Not even once.

When "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" was shot, Harrison Ford was 47. Sean Connery was 59 and played the father of Ford's character.

Me, a classical student of principia statisticalia and an avid disciple of reasoning: 'hmm, yes the UK has at least 2 (two) actors, one could infer'

What else are we supposed to get from this? I might be little tired.

[-] donuts@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

Left could pass as 50, right could pass as 13 yet they are both 34

Those mf start smocking at 12, by 35 they look 50 already.

[-] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 20 points 2 months ago

No need to call out Sean Connery for his early-onset twink death.

I’m 34 and people think I’m 20 🤷🏼‍♂️ As this post shows, aging is fuckin’ weird.

I tell people it’s all the preservatives in Taco Bell that keep me lookin’ young lmfao

It doesn't really work to compare a human with a fae, does it?

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

I am still stuck on the fact that the kid from Love Actually is 34. I...I don't want to process that.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

He was 25 when Love Actually was filmed. Probably. I don't look back.

[-] Wilco@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

He has the green sight.

(GoT reference)

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Brodie-Sangster doesn't look that young in all his pictures but Connery does look about 55, like he never was a young adult, just a kid then immediately a middle aged man.
