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.

“Le Tits Now, Alex”
I forgot the punchline but your mother’s a whore Trebek
“I’ll take schwards for 100 Alex.”
“I’ll take. The rapists”
“anal bum cover for 400”
I read “bum” as “burn”, too. Even worse.
“I’ll take ‘Le tits now’ for $800”
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.
Shit, do you think it’s too late for OP to retract their scientific paper submission?
Where are they implying it’s due to generational changes?

Holy crap, even when he was 18 and in phenomenal shape he looks like a well maintained 50 year old!
You’re the man now dog!
Wow, the site still exists: https://ytmnd.com/
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.
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.
This looks like a ventriloquist promo poster
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
Between bombings, rationing, and the general pollution of the UK, it’s a wonder he lived as long as he did.
Rationing really wasn’t that bad, they had ample bread, beer, and honey. Yes some other things weren’t available, but people weren’t wasting away in the streets, they’d just use egg powder instead of eggs.
The bombings of major cities were bad, but as a kid he was likely carted off to the countryside, and as a Scottish kid living on the outskirts of Edinburgh, unless he lived in Peterhead or Aberdeen during the Blitz, but as a kid who lived around Edinburgh, he was probably fine.
As for general pollution, I think you’re either mixing up Victorian-era UK, or current UK’s toxic dumping scandal. The points in between there were pretty bad if you lived in London, sure. Anywhere else though…? UK’s got lots of countryside.
My grandpa was his age growing up in Newcastle and he had his school bombed and went into a bomb shelter in the back garden once a week. Only the rich kids were sent out to the country side.
I feel like I’ve been lied to by Goodnight, Mr Tom. I thought there was a nationwide effort to send kids away. Of the shelter photos ive seen of people sleeping in the Tube, they’re always devoid of kids
Britain still felt the effects of rationing for years and years after the end of WWII
Their still do.
That joke completely disregards any good British food and largely ignores Anglo-Indian cuisine.
UK also swallowed a whole 1/4 of the Marshall Plan funds to rebuild Europe.

They were fine.
Sean Connery has never had a great time as an Englishman, given he is a Scotsman.
That’s my Geordie mom slipping out. You know how limeys get
I’m 20-years older and that’s about how my wrinkles are ATM.
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.

Those mf start smocking at 12, by 35 they look 50 already.
smoking?
All my homies love wearing a loose dress to age up.
Are you s’mocking me?!?
I guess.
My work here is done.
34 and 35
Sean looks 56, while Thomas looks 12.
Arch Linux. Not even once.
He has the green sight.
(GoT reference)
No need to call out Sean Connery for his early-onset twink death.
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
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.
I really had to think about this, cause our gas never had lead in…the petrol did though.
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?
It’s very dependent on style also:
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.
