Lots of very important things, but mostly the smoking.

Yes, but the hair loss is real.

I'm 40 and I look like the second picture

This is the best news I've gotten all week. I look like a less balding 90s 30. That's great for being 45.

Does anyone else tell themselves all the other dads they meet are actually much younger than you?

When I was in my twenties people thought I looked older. Now I'm in my fifties, and people think I look much younger.

Wasn't Tony in his 40's?

Please say Tony was in his 40's!!!

Water, sunscreen. I feel like it was more common in the past to cast a far older person than the age of the character they were playing too on screen. There is also makeup, style choices and clothes that can influence a view quite a bit.

Individual genetics are probably more important. I had an uncle that liked like he was 42 when he was really 20-63.

There was a real missed opportunity to have a picture of Jason Alexander (who was in his 30's during most of Seinfeld's production) instead of James Gandolfini.

Still true tho

My wife and I were watching an episode of Frasier and he states that he’s 38 years old at one point. We were both like YEAH FUCKIN RIGHT. I’m 45 and look closer to the person on the right, but I also don’t give a shit about “dress your age” nonsense. I’m not going to willingly age myself up.

yes the thing that changed was lead posioning from gas and chain smoking cigs starting at 12

In addition to people not smoking anymore, direct Sun exposure has dropped dramatically too.

We quirked too close to the chungus.

Wow I’m in this pic and I don’t like it.

Well except the Pantera thing. Fuck promoting Phil Anselmo at this point.

So what's the deal? Sun tan lotion, all the antioxidants we were/are all huffing with various teas, and of course the avocado toast? (disclaimer, sounds interesting but have never eaten that)

The one in the left married at 23 and his 4 kids.

Recently watched The Seven Year Itch (1955) and the man claims to be 37. He looks like a young 50. Cigarettes.

omg Gandalf really was only 38 when it started!

too real

less people smoke and drink. drug use also peaked in the 90s, and has been steadily declining since.
