Me, a classical student of principia statisticalia and an avid disciple of reasoning: 'hmm, yes the UK has at least 2 (two) actors, one could infer'

What else are we supposed to get from this? I might be little tired.

Left could pass as 50, right could pass as 13 yet they are both 34

I think what they mean is the picture is implying it's due to generational changes when you could find a younger looking 34 year old then and an older looking 34 year old now. It's a sample size of one. By definition that's argument from anecdote, there's no way you can infer generalities from that without being hasty.

Based on the sample size and the information available, the mean age of UK actors is 34
