    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.

      I think also one of them probably had an easier path:

      Sean Connery’s father was Joseph Connery, a factory worker and lorry driver.

      Thomas Brodie-Sangster was the actor and performer, Mark Sangster.

    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 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.

      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.

    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 one on the right is also married to Elon Musk’s twice divorce ex-wife. As in the wife married Elon, divorced him, married Elon again, divorced him, then marred the guy on the right.

      Describing an “openhanded slap” as “justified,” Connery also said it could be used “if all other alternatives fail and there has been plenty of warning,” adding, “If a woman is a bitch, or hysterical, or bloody-minded continually, then I’d do it.”

      I mean… it’s based? Beating anyone is wrong, of course - but if you have to do it, for example, for a defence, should you stop just because it’s a woman?

        These hypotheticals always boil down to ‘I just want to hit women’. It’s not based. You’re just telling on yourself.

          No, I don’t want to beat anyone. But I can imagine the situations, so do you.

          And, you know, gender here don’t matter at all. It’s bad to use any kind of physical force to another human, especially on weaker one. But there can be situations where it’s justified.

    Brodie-Sangster is also like preternaturally youthful looking. 1999 Kyle Chandler in Early Edition at age 34 sort of splits the difference, and Jesse Plemons at 36-38, after he lost some weight, is closing in on Connery levels of character in his face.

    “Autism face” is a thing that makes you look way younger than you should. I know I’ve got it. It’s weird being carded at 37.

    Tinfoil hat: The billionaires are all pedos so they make products to make everyone look like children longer so they have more options. The dude on the right legit looks like a child.

    But tell people that millennials look younger than previous generations and people lose their shit.
