Well, I say it's just good genes and nutrition.

However if he still looks like that 100 years from now, then we may need to have a conversation...

That isn't the effect it had on Gollum.

That's over 500 years, though, no?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Yeah even Bilbo looked virtually unchanged for the first 60 years or so.

Never forget that Hollywood stars have access to the most expensive & exclusive skin care, trainers, health care, & even plastic surgery, the likes of which we grimy little Proudfeet will never even hear of. Check Cate B out too, she hasn’t aged an hour

He'll likely be restless by his 111th birthday.

I mean he was a kid when he was hired to play Frodo. He seems relatively young cause he still is

18 when cast I think. Born in 81, casting was in 99.

I loved radio flyer and the good son

I had the biggest crush on him growing up. Stupid sexy hobbitses

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

Did y'all forget that Frodo went to the Undying Lands? He only visits for work.

Edit: it seems I've forgotten... he'd still age in the Undying Lands.

This confirms he is a Dark Lord then, and must have purposefully sought to infiltrate Valinor. I don't dare to guess his intentions...

Doesn't he go to Valinor to die though? He doesn't live forever just because he was a ringbearer, he went for some healing and respite before moving on to the Doom of Hobbits. I always thought the Quest and the Wound caused him to 'die' young, he never healed, he left for Valinor, had a nice peaceful nap in Elvenlands, and died happy.

and died

Oh. Not really the "undying lands" then, is it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

It is for Elves, not Hobbits or Men, which is why it was such a big deal he even got invited to chill.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He's under 50, hardly a lad in Hobbit years.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Not even as old as book Frodo going on his adventure

Yeh this feels a bit of a stretch for someone aging from early 20s to early 40s. A, some people have good genes. B, we tend to notice men’s aging with less weight(ymmv culturally). And, C he’s a millionaire movie star with access to the healthcare that comes with.

D, both pictures are edited/airbrushed.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He feels thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh! This is a Bilbo right? I need to read the books again, been too long

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Yes, Bilbo describing how it feels to have ones life elongated by the ring without knowing that the ring is doing it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Damn, he's 43, so I guess 39 in that image.
