    Idk man, I’ve always looked way younger than my age when shaved, but not that extreme. Skin care or not, I would not want to look like that at 34.

    Part of it, I’m sure, is that Thomas has babyface. Part of it, too, is that people don’t smoke cigarettes, or drink as much as they used to, or generally live as hard of lives. Living through the 2000s, for example, isn’t really as complicated perhaps, or troubling, as living through the Great Depression and World War II and the Cold War.

    Some people used to be born old. That’s just how the world worked. Also, stupid fashion. Have you seen a photo of a woman college student in the 80s? They look 40.

    Thomas is like a genetically engineered femboy for Hollywood billionaires.

    No need to go out and molest nubile young boys in the Caribbean, this bad boy is of legal age and doesn’t look a day past 15.

    Like a human version of a toy dog, but with a genetically superior bussy.

    These pictures are due to two things; genetics and lighting. Even though dude on right looks younger generally, if he was photographed in the same light as Connery they would look much closer in age.

    The difference is 1 part genetics, 1 part skin care routines, 1 part sun protection habits, 7 parts a lifetime with or without smoking and being surrounded by people smoking at nearly all times.

      I mean, the boy man literally looks 13!

      It’s like Stephen King’s Thinner, but with visual age rather than weight.

        Its the angle and lightning. If you look up other pictures of him he looks more like an actual adult. Still way younger looking than Sean of course.

      Sean Connery also wore a toupée ever since he was in his 20s. Dude went bald early and hid it from the world until he was an old man.

      I wonder if it is also differing beauty standards. Older men used to be considered more sexy. Nowadays a guy over 40 is basically a corpse but if you watch old movies you’ll see guys who look 50 or even 60 in hero roles, and they get the girl, too.

      So what I’m saying is, Sean Connery might never be chosen as a leading actor today because he looks too old.

      Idk, I’ve been around and been a smoker a large portion of life, I look like I’m a young 25 still despite being 35 (it ain’t me saying, I just got a young face). Some people just look younger for longer.

      I don’t feel 25, my body hates what I’ve done to it 😂

    Here his is in dr no a year later looking more like he’s 40 instead of 55, given he’s in makup, but the crows-feet smile lines aren’t doing him any favors.

    and here he is 7 years later in 71 (41 years old) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Connery#/media/File:Sean_Connery_as_James_Bond_(1971).jpg

    TBH, the effect on skin from smoking seem to hit like a truck in the 40’s, that’s gotta be severe tanning, smoking and some really rough genetics.

      He would have been early 30s in Dr No, it was released two years before Goldfinch. Still, though, it’s crazy how much the lifestyles of previous generations differ from current lifestyles and how you can literally read it on people’s faces.

      Is this really it? I thought the non smoking would be compensated by the increased pollution of everything

        I’m sure sun exposure also plays a role, everyone wears SPF 8000 sunblock now, while they were putting on tanning oil back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s

          Thanks for the informative response. I’m a bit confused by the graphs given, that track emissions and not air quality itself. Would you know why?

            AQI is highly variable by locale and hour. It averages out in the end, but measuring regional and global emissions is a better way to compare disparate time periods, except for areas at the extremes.

                To begin, it does accumulate in the region where it is created, but of course it diffuses over time, so 10 pollution could be 7 locally and 3 globally. The heavy elements (soot) never get very far and naturally fall out of the air. Some elements are broken down by sunlight. Some bind to rain and are washed into the ground. If pollution is constant, you reach an equilibrium in the air quality. Decreasing output slowly lowers that equilibrium and improves the air quality in the end.

        There’s significantly less air and water pollution now than the past, with the only exception being microplastics. We haven’t found many short-term impacts from that yet, though

            Considering back then they had asbestos, lead, etc, we’re still a lot better off now, I think. A lot of our stuff now is “this increases risk” whreas a lot of stuff then was “this causes literal organ failure”.

        Pollution was probably another contributing factor; I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a lot worse in the 60s than it is now: a lot of environmental controls got put in place in the intervening decades. Remember, there was leaded gasoline everywhere, and acid rain scares and the ozone layer depletion in the 80s.

        It’s a combination of many factors over time. Diet, sun exposure, smoking. Lots of things we have more information about now than we did then. Medicine is better, genetics, etc.
