The guy in the photo was raised by black sharecroppers, a target of an assassination, a multimillionaire inventor/carnival worker, and lost it all only to finally find his rhythm after being homeless and destitute.
You'd be gray haired too.

A Target of assassination? That nut-job hated those cans!
He was also a philanthropist and donated a ton of money to stop cat juggling in South America.

In 1995 Steve Martin was 50, so it’s not too far off the mark
Dude no way, if he was 50 back then he’d be almost eigh— (checks wikipedia) — oh.. oh no :(
He looks like he's in great shape though. It's crazy that Martin Short is the younger of the two (by five years).
I’m starting to worry that I look like Steve Martin in this picture but in my mind I look younger. I shall stay away from mirrors to ensure the illusion.

Seems like he was always silver haired too. I don't remember him any other way.
He did grey very young. I had a friend grey in his twenties, so it does happen.
Well if you smoke two packs a day since you're eight and everything you touch, eat and breathe contains lead, asbestos or both – that might age you a little.

Not only that, but a male star with an age appropriate love interest, that's getting more rare now.
That was also pretty rare back then. Older male with younger female partner has always been the norm in movies and TV.
Slightly on topic, but yesterday I discovered that I'm the same age as Rishi Sunak, and it's fucking with my brain that I'm the same age as the Prime Minister. Something about that just ain't right.
Rob Ford was in his thirties when he was mayor of Toronto but if you look at pictures of him you'd never believe it.

Think about all the football players that have started and ended their careers already, all while being younger than you

Smoking.
And sun exposure. Wear your sunscreen folks.
I can't get that old, ever. I am 45 next year, and it's like Oscar Wilde had said: "The tragedy of growing old is not that one is old but that one is young" and you have to show that. Starting with jiu jitsu next month. Let's roll!
45 y/o here that's been doing jiujitsu for 17 years. Hit me up if you need any tips.
Must not be very good if this newbie can hit you up that easily...

Change their clothes and hair style and this is exactly how 45 years old look like... Steve Martin has a baby face, even with gray hair.
I am confused? I see plenty of 45 year olds that look like this. Just like how I see 18 year olds that look like they are 30 year old dudes, and also 18 year olds that look like they haven't even reached 13.
How old do Rhett and Link look? They are about this age. Link is pretty grey.

I see two rather young looking faces framed by grey or white hair (I'm a big fan of natural greying) and with terrible outfits that make them look much older. So to me it seems that finally we have a better fashion.

He was 50 and she was 49 in 1995. Not too far off.
Was watching an old episode of The Twilight Zone, main character was supposed to be 25, I swear he looked 40+ easily.
The first season of The Sopranos, James Gandolfini was only 36 or 37 when they were filming it. He looked 50 easily

What? Isn’t that what they are supposed to look like now?
And both of them were five years removed from playing teenagers.
I may not look like this but I definitely feel like it!
