He looks like he could be Connery's son.

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

I'm 20-years older and that's about how my wrinkles are ATM.
-
This looks like a ventriloquist promo poster
-
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?

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.

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.

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.

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

No need to call out Sean Connery for his early-onset twink death.
-
It doesn't really work to compare a human with a fae, does it?
-
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.
-
-
Sean looks 56, while Thomas looks 12.
-
He has the green sight.
(GoT reference)
-
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.
-
Roger Moore was actually a few years older than Sean Connery, but when he was cast it looked like they aged down James Bond.
