    I get this is just a shitpost but what is it trying to say? Should I be worried that one guy looks younger than the other? Mad? Sad? Happy?

    Let me guess: George Lazenby died somewhere in the 2020s at the age of 90 something and appeared in multiple movies until his death, being like 60something when you first saw him in a movie.

    Quick check: goddamnit the dude is still alive and kicking and retired from acting 2 years ago (link). This fucking generation will be the peak of human longevity.

    They should study this. It should be pretty cheap since you only need to study one person from each era to draw conclusions about whole generations. This is how science and reason work. 🙃

    Look at old tar teeth.

    Another note, Tom Holland looks almost childlike for your average 29 year old. Really not a good sample for that age group.

    Not this crap again.

    Dustin Hoffman was 30 years old in The Graduate (1967). Sean Connery looked like he could’ve been 30 in his high school yearbook photo. There have always been baby-faced actors, and actors who look older than their age. We could just as easily compare Dick van Dyke at age 30 in 1955 with Bill Skarsgård at age 30 in 2021, and reach similar conclusions about the effects of, say, highly-processed food and microplastics.

  • oh fuck.

    given the complete different style of action. one acrobatic twink, other is guns. though a better comparison is with Jon Bernthal… and they look similar. but Jon is 50 years old!!!

      Cigarettes, and sunlight.

      The amount of damage sunlight can do to your skin if you don’t use appropriate protection, is astonishing.

        While true, our skin’s still pretty tough in our 20s no matter what, plenty of collagen and such. I know this is partly lucky genes, but I was as baby-faced as Holland at 29 and I smoked heavily and had no care for sun protection. At 55, I still have little care for sun protection as I have to spend all day on the water, in the summer, to get even slightly pink.
