He has the green sight.

Holy crap, even when he was 18 and in phenomenal shape he looks like a well maintained 50 year old!
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.

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.

People do seem to have aged more rapidly until a few decades ago. Perhaps all the cigarette smoke weathered them.
Also probably time spent in the sun.
And the whiskey!
And the cigarettes.
And the leaded gas
I really had to think about this, cause our gas never had lead in…the petrol did though.

Vsauce did a video on this. it's cultural context. eg wearing clothes that old people wear makes you look older. a dude in like 1920 was wearing a tshirt and aviators and ppl thought he was a time traveler
Are the winkled forehead, crows feet around the eyes, and full-on retreating hairline part of his clothes?
Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart looked like they were 55 between the ages of 25 and 85. Conversely, Paul Rudd and Joseph Gordon-Levitt looked like they were 15 between the ages of 15 and 40.
Aging is weird.
It was interesting when I realized that Patrick Stewart was my age in the first season of Next Generation.
47 right?
47 before July 13th, 48 after.

Smoking.
And alcoholism.
And cocaine.
And being outside more by default.
Sunscreen!
Wear. Sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proven by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
The Connery photo is natural lighting and properly exposed for his skin tone. The newer photo is artificially lit, much brighter for the skin tone and could have been retouched to blur the skin some. The photo on the right may have also had makeup on, vs on the left not likely.
All true, but, that's a fucking very aged looking 34 regardless.
When "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" was shot, Harrison Ford was 47. Sean Connery was 59 and played the father of Ford's character.
Harrison Ford was 38 when Raiders of the Lost Ark was released. Raiders took place in 1936 so if Indiana was meant to be the same age as Ford then he was born in 1898. The Last Crusade took place in 1938 so Indiana would be 40 at the time. That would make him 19 years younger than his father, assuming that Henry Jones Sr. and Sean Connery were the same age.

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