Damn, he’s 43, so I guess 39 in that image.
He feels thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.
Yeh this feels a bit of a stretch for someone aging from early 20s to early 40s. A, some people have good genes. B, we tend to notice men’s aging with less weight(ymmv culturally). And, C he’s a millionaire movie star with access to the healthcare that comes with.
He’s under 50, hardly a lad in Hobbit years.
Did y’all forget that Frodo went to the Undying Lands? He only visits for work.
Edit: it seems I’ve forgotten… he’d still age in the Undying Lands.
This confirms he is a Dark Lord then, and must have purposefully sought to infiltrate Valinor. I don’t dare to guess his intentions…
Doesn’t he go to Valinor to die though? He doesn’t live forever just because he was a ringbearer, he went for some healing and respite before moving on to the Doom of Hobbits. I always thought the Quest and the Wound caused him to ‘die’ young, he never healed, he left for Valinor, had a nice peaceful nap in Elvenlands, and died happy.
It is for Elves, not Hobbits or Men, which is why it was such a big deal he even got invited to chill.
