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.

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

Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart looked like they were 55 between the ages of 25 and 85. Conversely, Paul Rudd and Joseph Gordon-Levitt looked like they were 15 between the ages of 15 and 40.
Aging is weird.
It was interesting when I realized that Patrick Stewart was my age in the first season of Next Generation.

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.

Arch Linux. Not even once.
When "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" was shot, Harrison Ford was 47. Sean Connery was 59 and played the father of Ford's character.

I guess.
My work here is done.
No need to call out Sean Connery for his early-onset twink death.
It doesn't really work to compare a human with a fae, does it?

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.
