Part of it, I’m sure, is that Thomas has babyface. Part of it, too, is that people don’t smoke cigarettes, or drink as much as they used to, or generally live as hard of lives. Living through the 2000s, for example, isn’t really as complicated perhaps, or troubling, as living through the Great Depression and World War II and the Cold War.
Neat, not a shitpost.
Some people used to be born old. That’s just how the world worked. Also, stupid fashion. Have you seen a photo of a woman college student in the 80s? They look 40.
Those huge glasses that were in vogue in the 80’s did no one any favors.
Nah just drugs/drinking/smoking. He has admitted he started smoking at 9

Smoking, alcohol, no sunscreen will still age up a person of today by 10 years.

These pictures are due to two things; genetics and lighting. Even though dude on right looks younger generally, if he was photographed in the same light as Connery they would look much closer in age.
You can see the shadow on the wall behind him. There is a light below his eyeline. That’s called a beauty light, and it hides wrinkles by lighting the areas that would be in shadow from lights above.
But smoking also has a lot to do with it.

Thomas is like a genetically engineered femboy for Hollywood billionaires.
No need to go out and molest nubile young boys in the Caribbean, this bad boy is of legal age and doesn’t look a day past 15.
Like a human version of a toy dog, but with a genetically superior bussy.

Here his is in dr no a year later looking more like he’s 40 instead of 55, given he’s in makup, but the crows-feet smile lines aren’t doing him any favors.
and here he is 7 years later in 71 (41 years old) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Connery#/media/File:Sean_Connery_as_James_Bond_(1971).jpg
TBH, the effect on skin from smoking seem to hit like a truck in the 40’s, that’s gotta be severe tanning, smoking and some really rough genetics.
He would have been early 30s in Dr No, it was released two years before Goldfinch. Still, though, it’s crazy how much the lifestyles of previous generations differ from current lifestyles and how you can literally read it on people’s faces.
Goldfinch
goooooldddFINCHAAAAA… .the bird with the MIDAS TOUCH! Such a coooold finchaahhh
And crazy enough, He grew up in Scottland, That puts you on the less likely end of the scale to grow up with too much sun :)
Peter Capaldi and William Hartnell were same age bracket when they played the Doctor.
Amazing what not living through a depression and world war can do for ya
Wow they look like two completely different people
But, you can only tell that because one used sunscreen, and one didn’t. Otherwise they’d look exactly identical. /s
What if James Bond did a pdrn mask every time he was supposed to drink and smoke and every time he was supposed have a villain try to torture him he got HIFU instead?
Crazy how nature do that.
They’re different people? I thought that was just angle and lighting.
The difference is 1 part genetics, 1 part skin care routines, 1 part sun protection habits, 7 parts a lifetime with or without smoking and being surrounded by people smoking at nearly all times.
Idk, I’ve been around and been a smoker a large portion of life, I look like I’m a young 25 still despite being 35 (it ain’t me saying, I just got a young face). Some people just look younger for longer.
I don’t feel 25, my body hates what I’ve done to it 😂

Sean Connery also wore a toupée ever since he was in his 20s. Dude went bald early and hid it from the world until he was an old man.
You forgot “1 part warlock’s curse”
I mean, the
boyman literally looks 13!It’s like Stephen King’s Thinner, but with visual age rather than weight.
Its the angle and lightning. If you look up other pictures of him he looks more like an actual adult. Still way younger looking than Sean of course.
I was gonna say, Thomas definitely looks younger here than Sean looks older
“White boy from town, why you no eat you own baby food?”
I wonder if it is also differing beauty standards. Older men used to be considered more sexy. Nowadays a guy over 40 is basically a corpse but if you watch old movies you’ll see guys who look 50 or even 60 in hero roles, and they get the girl, too.
So what I’m saying is, Sean Connery might never be chosen as a leading actor today because he looks too old.
I know 50+ year old men who get plenty, and look pretty hot. The key, besides genetics, seems to be both not smoking and doing enough sports.
Sure but you can’t name many movies where a guy over 50 gets plenty. We all know that media beauty standards don’t hold up the same in reality. Large ladies getting plenty of action in reality being the most obvious example.

Ouch!
Don’t worry, I feel your pain. Just wait until the day a beautiful women says you’re like an uncle to her.
It’s also nose and ear size, jawline, and lighting. Although it’s possible that’s already a toupee on Sean.

He was the kid in Love Actually who learned the drums. I think he also reprised the role in Red Nose Day Actually.
More recently he was the dude in The Queens Gambit. I forget if he was a love interest or an antagonist (I kinda want to say a bit of column A and a bit of column B…) but he was in it.
I forget if he was a love interest or an antagonist but he was in it.
Several men were both iirc.
Yeah. That was a surprisingly good show.

How are even Connery’s earlobes masculine?
One is out there doing hard living and the other is using youthful skin creams, prescribed by his publicist.
its mostly the lighting, the hair style and the amount of make up they throw on thomas before fotographing
