    Idk man, I’ve always looked way younger than my age when shaved, but not that extreme. Skin care or not, I would not want to look like that at 34.

    That’s Pierce Brosnan, famous for his role as Mister Doubtfire and the voice of Genie in Aladdin

    Part of it, I’m sure, is that Thomas has babyface. Part of it, too, is that people don’t smoke cigarettes, or drink as much as they used to, or generally live as hard of lives. Living through the 2000s, for example, isn’t really as complicated perhaps, or troubling, as living through the Great Depression and World War II and the Cold War.

      I’m so deeply offended by this post not meeting my exacting criteria for what a shit post is. How could OP not have consulted me? Me! The arbiter of all that is true and good on the Internet. Shame on your house, OP! You will be Blood Eagled by a team of dachshund ninjas for this transgression!

    Some people used to be born old. That’s just how the world worked. Also, stupid fashion. Have you seen a photo of a woman college student in the 80s? They look 40.

    These pictures are due to two things; genetics and lighting. Even though dude on right looks younger generally, if he was photographed in the same light as Connery they would look much closer in age.

      You can see the shadow on the wall behind him. There is a light below his eyeline. That’s called a beauty light, and it hides wrinkles by lighting the areas that would be in shadow from lights above.

      But smoking also has a lot to do with it.

      He was the kid in Love Actually who learned the drums. I think he also reprised the role in Red Nose Day Actually.

      More recently he was the dude in The Queens Gambit. I forget if he was a love interest or an antagonist but he was in it.

    Thomas is like a genetically engineered femboy for Hollywood billionaires.

    No need to go out and molest nubile young boys in the Caribbean, this bad boy is of legal age and doesn’t look a day past 15.

    Like a human version of a toy dog, but with a genetically superior busy.

    One is out there doing hard living and the other is using youthful skin creams, prescribed by his publicist.

    Here his is in dr no a year later looking more like he’s 40 instead of 55, given he’s in makup, but the crows-feet smile lines aren’t doing him any favors.

    and here he is 7 years later in 71 (41 years old) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Connery#/media/File:Sean_Connery_as_James_Bond_(1971).jpg

    TBH, the effect on skin from smoking seem to hit like a truck in the 40’s, that’s gotta be severe tanning, smoking and some really rough genetics.

      He would have been early 30s in Dr No, it was released two years before Goldfinch. Still, though, it’s crazy how much the lifestyles of previous generations differ from current lifestyles and how you can literally read it on people’s faces.
