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

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.

And alcoholism.

And cocaine.

And being outside more by default.

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.

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

It’s a compliment to get carded at a bar…

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

For a while, it is. Eventually it gets problematic. I shouldn't get carded by someone younger than me.

Laws can be onerous and no one wants to get crucified for an honest mistake so if some young blood wants to peek under the kimono then I say let em.

I kinda enjoy it when they look back at me and say shit like “man you are way older than you look…” meanwhile my friends curse me for not having a single grey hair. Few things in life going right.
