My wife and I were watching an episode of Frasier and he states that he’s 38 years old at one point. We were both like YEAH FUCKIN RIGHT. I’m 45 and look closer to the person on the right, but I also don’t give a shit about “dress your age” nonsense. I’m not going to willingly age myself up.

He was actually 41 in the show. In real life Frasier’s actual age was 38 so Hollywood went backwards and casted a younger person then the character. Cigarrettes had such a massive effect on people’s looks back then.

When I was in my twenties people thought I looked older. Now I'm in my fifties, and people think I look much younger.

This is the best news I've gotten all week. I look like a less balding 90s 30. That's great for being 45.

Does anyone else tell themselves all the other dads they meet are actually much younger than you?

pfff... they both look like high schoolers from the 1950's.

Individual genetics are probably more important. I had an uncle that liked like he was 42 when he was really 20-63.

I've heard it attributed to drinking more water.

As a 30+, that's so sweet, and so wrong :p

less people smoke and drink. drug use also peaked in the 90s, and has been steadily declining since.

Water, sunscreen. I feel like it was more common in the past to cast a far older person than the age of the character they were playing too on screen. There is also makeup, style choices and clothes that can influence a view quite a bit.

omg Gandalf really was only 38 when it started!

The opening to Cowboys from Hell sounds like when my air conditioner's motor run capacitor started leaking and the motor would kinda ramp up at first and then just get stuck semi-stalling.

Sick. I would probably leave it that way for a while.

is a mix of not smoking and OP hanging on to the last remaining slivers of youth he has
