its mostly the lighting, the hair style and the amount of make up they throw on thomas before fotographing
One is out there doing hard living and the other is using youthful skin creams, prescribed by his publicist.

Sean is always cool, but I wonder how Thomas would look had he been smoking a pack a day for 20 years too.
Is this really it? I thought the non smoking would be compensated by the increased pollution of everything
Oh ya, because removing lead from the air made it so much worse. /s
There’s significantly less air and water pollution now than the past, with the only exception being microplastics. We haven’t found many short-term impacts from that yet, though
I was thinking of PFAS, pesticides, ultra-processed food and such
Considering back then they had asbestos, lead, etc, we’re still a lot better off now, I think. A lot of our stuff now is “this increases risk” whreas a lot of stuff then was “this causes literal organ failure”.
Air pollution was worse in the last century https://ourworldindata.org/outdoor-air-pollution
Thanks for the informative response. I’m a bit confused by the graphs given, that track emissions and not air quality itself. Would you know why?
AQI is highly variable by locale and hour. It averages out in the end, but measuring regional and global emissions is a better way to compare disparate time periods, except for areas at the extremes.
I would expect emissions to cumulatively impact air quality, is that not the case?
To begin, it does accumulate in the region where it is created, but of course it diffuses over time, so 10 pollution could be 7 locally and 3 globally. The heavy elements (soot) never get very far and naturally fall out of the air. Some elements are broken down by sunlight. Some bind to rain and are washed into the ground. If pollution is constant, you reach an equilibrium in the air quality. Decreasing output slowly lowers that equilibrium and improves the air quality in the end.
Thanks, that’s very informative!
Pollution was probably another contributing factor; I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a lot worse in the 60s than it is now: a lot of environmental controls got put in place in the intervening decades. Remember, there was leaded gasoline everywhere, and acid rain scares and the ozone layer depletion in the 80s.
Pollution was worse back then, look up smog in the 70s. We’ve introduced catalytic converters, emissions standards, etc. Most people now question why we need clean air laws because we have clean air, much like people thinking we don’t need vaccines because those diseases aren’t around.
Which is funny because those diseases are still around since they flare up when people stop taking vaccines.
I’m sure sun exposure also plays a role, everyone wears SPF 8000 sunblock now, while they were putting on tanning oil back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s
Really? I thought sunblock was pretty over the top in Connery’s day.
now that’s a golden tan!
I’ll buy that for a dollar!
Calm down, Captain Kirk
Connery also grew in the wake of WW2, that kind of stress ages you early
It’s a combination of many factors over time. Diet, sun exposure, smoking. Lots of things we have more information about now than we did then. Medicine is better, genetics, etc.
Wait is perpetual teen guy going to be a bond?
Well unlike Sir Connery, he at least is English! Though I think Connery impressed Fleming so much that Bond was rewritten to be half-Scottish
But no, there has been no story published on the next Bond having been chosen yet. There are a lot of theories floating around and many of them are fairly unbelievable to the point that it may as well be perpetual teen guy.
No, Mr Bond, I expect you to be home before dark!
So the new Bond will be a Gen-Xer…
Welcome to lasertag and techno!
Gen-X at 34 (now 36)? I wish. Try Millennial.
How will Bond stop the laser satellite launch when its scheduled at midnight, more than two hours past his bedtime?
Teen Bond sounds like it would have been a great 90s cartoon series.
In case this wasn’t already an ironic reference:

65 and 12.
12 4 EVA
60 and 7
Forty Six and 2
25 or 6 to 4
The difference would be even more striking of Sean Connery wasn’t wearing a hairpiece
The one on the right is also married to Elon Musk’s twice divorce ex-wife. As in the wife married Elon, divorced him, married Elon again, divorced him, then marred the guy on the right.
Wait, WHO married this cringelord twice??
Geez, she looks slick. 😻
The fuck? I really liked this actor before but now I just feel gross.
What did she mar him with, some sort of edged weapon?
If only!
He’s determined like his character in Love Actually.
The difference is 1 part genetics, 1 part skin care routines, 1 part sun protection habits, 7 parts a lifetime with or without smoking and being surrounded by people smoking at nearly all times.
You forgot “1 part warlock’s curse”
I mean, the
boyman literally looks 13!It’s like Stephen King’s Thinner, but with visual age rather than weight.
Its the angle and lightning. If you look up other pictures of him he looks more like an actual adult. Still way younger looking than Sean of course.
I was gonna say, Thomas definitely looks younger here than Sean looks older
“White boy from town, why you no eat you own baby food?”
Idk, I’ve been around and been a smoker a large portion of life, I look like I’m a young 25 still despite being 35 (it ain’t me saying, I just got a young face). Some people just look younger for longer.
I don’t feel 25, my body hates what I’ve done to it 😂
I wonder if it is also differing beauty standards. Older men used to be considered more sexy. Nowadays a guy over 40 is basically a corpse but if you watch old movies you’ll see guys who look 50 or even 60 in hero roles, and they get the girl, too.
So what I’m saying is, Sean Connery might never be chosen as a leading actor today because he looks too old.
Ouch!
Don’t worry, I feel your pain. Just wait until the day a beautiful women says you’re like an uncle to her.
I know 50+ year old men who get plenty, and look pretty hot. The key, besides genetics, seems to be both not smoking and doing enough sports.
Sure but you can’t name many movies where a guy over 50 gets plenty. We all know that media beauty standards don’t hold up the same in reality. Large ladies getting plenty of action in reality being the most obvious example.
Sean Connery also wore a toupée ever since he was in his 20s. Dude went bald early and hid it from the world until he was an old man.
It’s also nose and ear size, jawline, and lighting. Although it’s possible that’s already a toupee on Sean.
“Leaded gas vs Unleaded gas” was my initial thought.
But then I remembered instagram filters.
And sunscreen, and smoking, and minoxidil, and
Stress is the largest source of aging. The more severe the stress the faster people age.
The most extreme case I saw was a former coworker. When we worked together we were both in our late 20’s. She then went onto another job and we lost contact.
5 years later I ran into her at a meeting and was shocked. Unfortunately her younger son had died of cancer in the meantime and the stress had aged her 20+ years. She looked in her late 50’s not mid 30’s.
But tell people that millennials look younger than previous generations and people lose their shit.
It’s funny that culturally 34 was considered a middle aged man back then whereas 34 today feels like an old 20 something.
You made my entire week and added spring in my step, I just hope it won’t ruin my knees.
What knees? Your bones are gone, dumb vegoon. They evaporated the moment you stopped consuming animals.

Is there literally just no preview link for you? Or does it fail in the browser?
I love that website, exactly my style!
Hahaha wtf is this‽
Something to hopefully make people think about cognitive dissonance and consider how they could change.
Ah I had not scrolled far enough. Now it makes sense. And I’m hungry now. Anyone got dog?
Re: the other comment, isn’t it weird how people just come up to you on the internet, and say, “hey, I’m an asshole, block me!” That’s weird.
If you are refering to the dog meat lover, it’s actually a vegan satire site!
Oh! Welp
Nah you’ll just throw your back out instead
My back’s been at leat some level of thrown out for the last 15 years.
And the 20 y/o’s feel like babies. I see dudes get weird with the younger nursing assistants sometimes and get a tiny reflexive EXCUSE YOU…???
“Autism face” is a thing that makes you look way younger than you should. I know I’ve got it. It’s weird being carded at 37.
Yesterday three collegues called me “young blood”… I’m 35.
That’s what smoking and sun exposure can do to a person. Smoking especially ages you fast.
And?
