Holy crap, even when he was 18 and in phenomenal shape he looks like a well maintained 50 year old!
34 and 35
Arch Linux. Not even once.
He has the green sight.
(GoT reference)
Smoking.
Sunscreen!
Wear. Sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proven by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
And alcoholism.
And cocaine.
And being outside more by default.
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.
All true, but, that’s a fucking very aged looking 34 regardless.
That KID is 34?!?!
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’s a compliment to get carded at a bar…
For a while, it is. Eventually it gets problematic. I shouldn’t get carded by someone younger than me.
Laws can be onerous and no one wants to get crucified for an honest mistake so if some young blood wants to peek under the kimono then I say let em.
I kinda enjoy it when they look back at me and say shit like “man you are way older than you look…” meanwhile my friends curse me for not having a single grey hair. Few things in life going right.
It doesn’t really work to compare a human with a fae, does it?
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.
47 right?
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.
Woof, hadn’t realized that.
What are you talking about, Lwaxana? He’s not even here!
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.
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.
Harrison Ford was 38 when Raiders of the Lost Ark was released. Raiders took place in 1936 so if Indiana was meant to be the same age as Ford then he was born in 1898. The Last Crusade took place in 1938 so Indiana would be 40 at the time. That would make him 19 years younger than his father, assuming that Henry Jones Sr. and Sean Connery were the same age.
Let’s not body shame 12 year old dad’s now.
I am still stuck on the fact that the kid from Love Actually is 34. I…I don’t want to process that.
He was 25 when Love Actually was filmed. Probably. I don’t look back.
People do seem to have aged more rapidly until a few decades ago. Perhaps all the cigarette smoke weathered them.
It’s very dependent on style also:
Vsauce did a video on this. it’s cultural context. eg wearing clothes that old people wear makes you look older. a dude in like 1920 was wearing a tshirt and aviators and ppl thought he was a time traveler
Are the winkled forehead, crows feet around the eyes, and full-on retreating hairline part of his clothes?
Also probably time spent in the sun.
And the whiskey!
And the cigarettes.
And the leaded gas
I really had to think about this, cause our gas never had lead in…the petrol did though.
And my axe!
There it is…
The Axe effect.
Don’t forget the leaded paint and asbestos.
Don’t worry … the layers of lead paint protected them from the asbestos underneath
T vs E
Sean looks 56, while Thomas looks 12.
