I mean, to be fair, I'm 10 years older than Connery in that picture, and he still looks older than me. Dude was born old.

He was born in 1930. Not exactly a great time to be an Englishman.

Sean Connery has never had a great time as an Englishman, given he is a Scotsman.

That's my Geordie mom slipping out. You know how limeys get

And the other dude has a baby face, but looking closely I can see that he's older.

Half the difference here is the fact that modern actors have a better skincare routine. Connery probably smoked, too.

The other dude is pretty damn good in The Artful Dodger, by the way. He's playing close to his actual age (deported to Australia, became a skilled ship's surgeon but still uneducated) but still looks like we imagine the little cutpurse, it's a winning combination.

I'm 20-years older and that's about how my wrinkles are ATM.
