He looks like he could be Connery's son.

Arch Linux. Not even once.
Smoking.
And alcoholism.
And cocaine.
And being outside more by default.
Sunscreen!
Wear. Sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proven by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
I mean, to be fair, I'm 10 years older than Connery in that picture, and he still looks older than me. Dude was born old.
He was born in 1930. Not exactly a great time to be an Englishman.
Sean Connery has never had a great time as an Englishman, given he is a Scotsman.

And the other dude has a baby face, but looking closely I can see that he's older.
Half the difference here is the fact that modern actors have a better skincare routine. Connery probably smoked, too.

I'm 20-years older and that's about how my wrinkles are ATM.
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
I really had to think about this, cause our gas never had lead in…the petrol did though.
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
Are the winkled forehead, crows feet around the eyes, and full-on retreating hairline part of his clothes?
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.
Jesus Christ don't say that ..... you just made me look it up and realize how true this statement was for myself as well .... what have I done with my life?
What, you're not the captain of a starship yet? Loser!
I'm a character stuck inside a transporter buffer that will never materialize .... I exist but will never appear :(

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.
All true, but, that's a fucking very aged looking 34 regardless.
That KID is 34?!?!
I’m 34 and people think I’m 20 🤷🏼♂️ As this post shows, aging is fuckin’ weird.
I tell people it’s all the preservatives in Taco Bell that keep me lookin’ young lmfao

34 and 35
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.
Let's not body shame 12 year old dad's now.

Holy crap, even when he was 18 and in phenomenal shape he looks like a well maintained 50 year old!
