is a mix of not smoking and OP hanging on to the last remaining slivers of youth he has
You just got older.
Recently watch The Seven Year Itch (1955) and the man claims to be 37. He looks like a young 50. Cigarettes.
Just watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Nicholson was 38 during filming. I thought he looked 50 too.
Nah he looks 38 lol
Maybe a ripe 32 if you ask me.
16 going on 35.
I’m just a few months behind that… no he does not.
As I get older, the more I agree
I’m 38. He does not look 38.
He does. Its just the hairstyle
And the creases.
You mean wrinkles?
Yep. English and their 100 case-dependent meanings.
Well he doesn’t look 50 that’s for sure. His hairline isn’t great, but people in their 20s can have a fucked up hairline.
No, he definitely looks well into 45+
Bottom half looks 38. Top half looks 48.
Sunlight is the big factor in premature aging of the skin and especially face. Cigarettes are said to be a big factor too, as is hard liquor to excess.
When I was a kid, restaurants still smelled like tobacco.
Didn’t really stop until early 2000’s
I remember this on older busses and coaches as a child, and the ashtrays on the back of seats. Mustve been wack in the 1990s with how much indoor smoking was still accepted.
I don’t know what it peaked, but by the 90s presence of smoking was trending downwards
There were still smoking sections in restaurants for a bit.
It took government regulations in the US to slow and stop this practice
It isn’t cigarettes. It’s being outside in the sun a lot more that really ages your skin. Cigarettes are bad but they don’t age people nearly as much as UV does.
Recently did a watch of Rear Window (1954), and yeah, there’s a scene in the beginning where the main character’s nurse calls the main character “young man”. Main character (Jimmy Stewart?) was 46 at the film’s release.
Wild.
That’s called acting. ::smug face::
They cast people younger and older than their character role because the actor’s age is secondary to they’re ability to play the character. ::smugger face::
Just uh … don’t look too much into what roles John Wayne and others played when it came to race, back then. They uhhhhh…had different standards back then. It was a different time, you see. It wasn’t…it uh…it wasn’t looked at the same way back then. Ok gtg byeeeee
Great example of how stress ages you
Not stress, smoking, drinking and no sunscreen does that to you.
I don’t think stress is any less, but actually more than in the 90’s
Few people are as consistently stressed as Tony Soprano. Sure, he’s got the big house, the big car, the ridiculously understanding wife, but he also has had to kill a few family members and more friends than is usually healthy. Once, he got a good friend indebted to him then burnt down his restaurant. All this while trying to keep two steps ahead of the feds. That lifestyle would age anyone.
None of that was real though lol.
To be fair, I don’t know much about James Gandilfini.
Wouldn’t it be great if that was true
Jim Gandalfini? Yeah I knew him. I knew him when he was a young, unshaven actor, before he fell, and spent forty years battling the foul Morgul stench. He emerged from that an aged man, his stubbled chin showing hints of grey, body and mind exhausted in spite of a great victory over the dark side. He took to wearing nothing but bathrobes, and rested heavily on his staff when he had to walk. His recovery was heavily reliant on resting his mind with the weed leaf, and rejuvenating his mind amongst the gardens and feasts of middle America, off the beaten track, as aeons passed him by. Soon, the great evil mustered its strength once more, and he again took to the battlegrounds of the Midwest, or as it was then known, middle earth…
Neat TIL
I’m talking more about the 90’s in general
All due respect, you got no fuckin’ idea what it’s like to be Number One. Every decision you make affects every facet of every other fuckin’ thing. It’s too much to deal with almost. And in the end you’re completely alone with it all.
Edie Falco in one of the later seasons gave one of the most impressive and stunning acting performances that I have ever witnessed on TV.
When she screams at Tony to get out of the house, she could shatter hearts with that voice.
Just came to think of it seeing as this is a shitpost or whatever.
Yeah, she really was incredible when the writers gave her something to do.
Awful example. The 90s had WAAAAAAAAY less stress than today.
I’ve heard it attributed to drinking more water.
Should be in shitpost
Yep, It’s not only cigarettes, but air pollution too.
And the gabagool
And the gobbledygook
What is gabagool? Looks like some kind of salted meat.
It’s New Jersey Italian-American for capicola. Kind of like prosciutto
It’s nothing but fat and nitrates!
Sounds like the name of the ghost in a horror movie.
Or a 60s horror-themed band name…
Tony and his Gabba-Ghouls
Listen to their greatest hits: Oh Poor You! (Wish The Lord Would Take Me)
At an Irish Bar In Hell
Beware Three o’ Clock
Got No Spleen, Gene!
It’s the micro plastics
There weren’t microplastics in their bodies to speak of, this is like 95% just in the past two decades.
Yeah the micro plastic is a preservative.
Ha ha ha, sorry my bad. Don’t give the American Chemistry Cunts (edit: chemical industry trade group,) any ideas, they will pay our lawmakers to say that shit for real.
Liquid Plastic Surgery in a Bottle
The bottle is your testicles.
Every time an old tells me something is unhealthy, mostly an old salt I do treework with, I tell him his generation is the reason why I have plastic in my nutsack and to keep his pack a day health advice to himself.
From what I’ve heard it’s largely from less smoking and more sunscreen
and a shitty diet and no exercise.
Are you saying that makes you look younger…?
Also waaaaaaaay less drinking
My brother is an early 70’s born gen x, I’m a late 80’s born millennial. From what I’ve seen drinking and smoking being publicly accessible and socially acceptable made them way more prevelantly indulged in.
less people smoke and drink. drug use also peaked in the 90s, and has been steadily declining since.
There was a real missed opportunity to have a picture of Jason Alexander (who was in his 30’s during most of Seinfeld’s production) instead of James Gandolfini.
Still true tho
My wife and I were watching an episode of Frasier and he states that he’s 38 years old at one point. We were both like YEAH FUCKIN RIGHT. I’m 45 and look closer to the person on the right, but I also don’t give a shit about “dress your age” nonsense. I’m not going to willingly age myself up.
He was actually 41 in the show. In real life Frasier’s actual age was 38 so Hollywood went backwards and casted a younger person then the character. Cigarrettes had such a massive effect on people’s looks back then.
I’m from the shtreets! I dress shrtreet! If you don’t like it, you can come rip these clothes right off my sexy naked body
Guy on left can afford nice shirt.
This gives a pretty good explanation of the psychology
