I think part of the cognitive disconnect of when you see an actor age is that so much of their life is recorded and so much of our mental concept of them is locked in to the video that we have seen of them.

Then suddenly when you encounter them having aged normally it looks really weird.

And then you have people like Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, and Kate Beckinsale who look like they haven't aged a day in decades. It's hard to believe that Brad is like 61 and still looks about 35.

I follow Kate on Instagram (highly recommended) and she's over 50 (IIRC) and still looks like she's in her late 20s. I'm convinced that she's actually a vampire and Underworld was an autobiography.

Nah, brad pitt absolutely does not look like he is 35. He may look very good for his age, but not that good.

Your perception of what a 35 year old should look like may have changed as you also aged though.

I'm 38, so I know what 35 looks like haha People age at different rates than others. I've seen 35 year olds that look like their 65 and 65 year olds that look like their 35.
