People used to look much older at 30. Or did they? Here's what science says - Ynetnews
Old photos make people seem decades older than their age, but science has yet to prove past generations actually looked older; smoking, sun exposure, vintage fashion, camera technology and modern cosmetic treatments may all help explain the mysteryJason Alexander was 29 when he first appeared as George Costanza. The pilot episode of Seinfeld aired in July 1989, two and a half months before his 30th birthday. Yet that number still comes as a surprise when compared with photographs from the time. His hairline was already visibly receding, and his glasses and clothes hardly suggested a man in his late 20s. Anyone looking at those images might immediately say that the actor on screen appeared considerably older than his actual age. The feeling is familiar, and many of us experience it when looking at old photographs. Examples like these have become something of an online genre in recent years, and the list goes on. Sean Connery was just 32 when he first stepped into James Bond's suit in Dr. No, yet he was perceived as a much more mature man.
