Holy crap, even when he was 18 and in phenomenal shape he looks like a well maintained 50 year old!

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.

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.

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?
