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.
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
UK also swallowed a whole 1/4 of the Marshall Plan funds to rebuild Europe.

They were fine.
Their still do.
That joke completely disregards any good British food and largely ignores Anglo-Indian cuisine.
Sean Connery has never had a great time as an Englishman, given he is a Scotsman.
I’m 20-years older and that’s about how my wrinkles are ATM.
This looks like a ventriloquist promo poster
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.
People do seem to have aged more rapidly until a few decades ago. Perhaps all the cigarette smoke weathered them.
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.
Don’t forget the leaded paint and asbestos.
Don’t worry … the layers of lead paint protected them from the asbestos underneath
And my axe!
There it is…
The Axe effect.
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?
the penis mightier
I forgot the punchline but your mother’s a whore Trebek
“I’ll take schwards for 100 Alex.”
“I’ll take ‘Le tits now’ for $800”
“Le Tits Now, Alex”
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.
Where are they implying it’s due to generational changes?
Shit, do you think it’s too late for OP to retract their scientific paper submission?
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.
Let’s not body shame 12 year old dad’s now.
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.
Those mf start smocking at 12, by 35 they look 50 already.

No need to call out Sean Connery for his early-onset twink death.
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.
Arch Linux. Not even once.
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.
