Two young action movie actors, Tom Holland and George Lazenby, both at 29 in their respective photos. Or: a 2020s man of action vs. a 1960s man of action.

  I think the diiference is cigarettes, everywhere, all the time in the 1960s

    Cigarettes, and sunlight.

    The amount of damage sunlight can do to your skin if you don't use appropriate protection, is astonishing.

      Leaded gasoline, plus a heavy dose of regular drinking.

      While true, our skin’s still pretty tough in our 20s no matter what, plenty of collagen and such. I know this is partly lucky genes, but I was as baby-faced as Holland at 29 and I smoked heavily and had no care for sun protection. At 55, I still have little care for sun protection as I have to spend all day on the water, in the summer, to get even slightly pink.

  I get this is just a shitpost but what is it trying to say? Should I be worried that one guy looks younger than the other? Mad? Sad? Happy?

  Let me guess: George Lazenby died somewhere in the 2020s in the age of 90 something and appeared in multiple movies until is death, being like 60something when you first saw him in a movie.

  Quick check: goddamnit the dude is still alive and kicking and retired from acting 2 years ago (link. This fucking generation will be the peak of human longevity.

  Ol’ George there looks a healthy 45. Wonder which brand of cigarettes his doctor prescribed

    Lucky Strikes, of course.

      Teeth aren’t brown enough for filterless cigs

      He must have smoked that squeaky clean filtered ones like Viceroy

    Lazenby only smoked for ads and acting.

  Not this crap again.

  Dustin Hoffman was 30 years old in The Graduate (1967). Sean Connery looked like he could’ve been 30 in his high school yearbook photo. There have always been baby-faced actors, and actors who look older than their age. We could just as easily compare Dick van Dyke at age 30 in 1955 with Bill Skarsgård at age 30 in 2021, and reach similar conclusions about the effects of, say, highly-processed food and microplastics.

    Are you saying that Dick Van Dyke looked abnormally young at 30 while Bill Skarsgård looked abnormally old at 30? Are we seeing the same dudes?

  They should study this. It should be pretty cheap since you only need to study one person from each era to draw conclusions about whole generations. This is how science and reason work. 🙃

  Lighting helps.

    That’s not external lighting. Tom just does that…

    Cherry picking actors helps as well.

  Tom Holland is playing a college kid, George Lazenby a 40 year old James Bond.

• IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  oh fuck.

  given the complete different style of action. one acrobatic twink, other is guns. though a better comparison is with Jon Bernthal… and they look similar. but Jon is 50 years old!!!

  Fleming’s James Bond character was in his 40s. It’s the character.

  Look at the comm, people.

  Gregory Peck was born in 1916, which means he was in his 40s in the 1960s
