I mean, to be fair, I’m 10 years older than Connery in that picture, and he still looks older than me. Dude was born old.

And the other dude has a baby face, but looking closely I can see that he’s older.

Half the difference here is the fact that modern actors have a better skincare routine. Connery probably smoked, too.

The other dude is pretty damn good in The Artful Dodger, by the way. He’s playing close to his actual age (deported to Australia, became a skilled ship’s surgeon but still uneducated) but still looks like we imagine the little cutpurse, it’s a winning combination.

He was born in 1930. Not exactly a great time to be an Englishman.

Wait, why? The war was over when he was a teen. He enjoyed decades of progressive social reform

Britain still felt the effects of rationing for years and years after the end of WWII

Between bombings, rationing, and the general pollution of the UK, it’s a wonder he lived as long as he did.

Sean Connery has never had a great time as an Englishman, given he is a Scotsman.

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.

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

I think what they mean is the picture is implying it’s due to generational changes when you could find a younger looking 34 year old then and an older looking 34 year old now. It’s a sample size of one. By definition that’s argument from anecdote, there’s no way you can infer generalities from that without being hasty.

Based on the sample size and the information available, the mean age of UK actors is 34
