You are not wrong, but I would not have personally used a photo of him from when he was 15 to demonstrate how attractive he was.

Edit: The new picture (in which he is 25 years old) is my favorite photo of him, it's iconic.

I didn't realise he was fifteen in that. I thought that was early twenties.

Yeah, it can be hard to tell people's ages in old photos like that. Vsauce made a whole video about that phenomenon!

This is how Ned Kelly looked at age 20.

People aged pretty quick back then. Plus the badass beard adds some years.

Do you have the vsauce video link? That sounds interesting

People just grew beards quicker in the 1800s, probably all the opium.
