If you were 19 in the 60s you actually lived through a period where there were still loopholes in child labor laws that would have “allowed” you to work in the fields, mines, or factories as a young child, meaning at least some of those 19 year olds looked 50 because they had the soul and experience of one.
Those loopholes were closed in 49. Still, we have child labor happening all over the us and world to the day.
Taylor Farms would like a word with you.
To confirm what I said about there still being horrific labor practices to this day?
Yes
Makes ya wonder if everyone would age more slowly if we didn’t even have to work
I’d like to get a glimpse at a true communist anti-work society and see what 50 year olds look like. They’d probably look like they’re still pushing 30 or some shit
Also all the smoking.
After I watch the biopic Lovelace starring Amanda Seyfried about Deep Throat, I finally decided to check out the movie. Partly because I’d never seen it before, it biopic made it out to be super goofy, but also she said that you could see bruises on her body from the physical abuse her bf at the time put her through.
She legit looks in her mid-to-late 30s by today’s standards but was barely 23 when she made it!
It’s likely due to how common smoking was back then, amongst other factors
I don’t have the data, but I would bet that the average person spends much more time indoors these days. UV exposure will age a person more than most think.
That and also people now have social media absolutely blasting them with beauty standards that are totally different. It pushes young people to attempt to look older and older people attempt to look younger.
This means young people now are on Instagram in the preteens being taught to sunscreen aggressively and how to style and do makeup and whatever. In the past people just didn’t have this access to information.
george costanza was 33 years old
fact: everyone who was alive in the 60s is old.
Not my Uncle Mickey.
He’s dead
Vsauce did a video on this: https://youtu.be/vjqt8T3tJIE
For real was just talking to my wife about this phenomenon, watching the OG “It” (the Tim Curry one).
First off…holy shit, 12-year-old Richie Tozier was played by Seth Green. That means he was 12 in the late 80s, meaning he’s in his 50s now.
I think that makes Seth Green a fair comparison here since he’s one of the few childhood actors of the era still both alive and active. (Although he is also a ginger and therefore soulless…so maybe not a great comparison…)
50-something real-life Seth Green looks younger han 40-something whoever the hell played Richie in the original. Hell
Jermaine ClementBill Hader was nearing 50 for the remake and I would’ve never guessed.(And while
ClementHader was aperfectgreat (Clement would’ve been better) cast for grownup Finn Wolfhard…I kinda wish it was Green, now that I realized he was the original young Richie)It was Bill Hader, not Jemaine Clement
Jesus Christ it was.
You put coke bottle glasses on him tho, and you got Jermaine Clement.
My wife was convinced it was him. I’m face-blind and went along with it.
Hader was 41 in 2019, when Chapter 2 came out. I’d believe it.
I mean for real tho…
Seth looks older than he did in Austin Powers. Wtf.
I bet the drugs were fun though
