The guy in the photo was raised by black sharecroppers, a target of an assassination, a multimillionaire inventor/carnival worker, and lost it all only to finally find his rhythm after being homeless and destitute.
You'd be gray haired too.
A Target of assassination? That nut-job hated those cans!
He was also a philanthropist and donated a ton of money to stop cat juggling in South America.
He also found his special purpose!
He should see a doctor and get rid of it
In 1995 Steve Martin was 50, so it’s not too far off the mark
Dude no way, if he was 50 back then he’d be almost eigh— (checks wikipedia) — oh.. oh no :(
He looks like he's in great shape though. It's crazy that Martin Short is the younger of the two (by five years).
Seems like he was always silver haired too. I don't remember him any other way.
He did grey very young. I had a friend grey in his twenties, so it does happen.
Well if you smoke two packs a day since you're eight and everything you touch, eat and breathe contains lead, asbestos or both – that might age you a little.
Two drinks and two packs a day will keep the youth at bay
Because of infertility, right?
Damn right.
I have an aunt who has always looked about 15 years older than both of my parents, despite being my dad's younger sister. Smoking, drinking, and tanning will age you quick.
Slightly on topic, but yesterday I discovered that I'm the same age as Rishi Sunak, and it's fucking with my brain that I'm the same age as the Prime Minister. Something about that just ain't right.
Rob Ford was in his thirties when he was mayor of Toronto but if you look at pictures of him you'd never believe it.
Think about all the football players that have started and ended their careers already, all while being younger than you
Idk... I feel like that's okaish...you don't want to end up on Biden/Trump age for a leader.
Buddy if you didn't feel this at 40 then good for you!
I think it just something about public figures and that they can't possibly live a life like us or something.
I have the same thing, but opposite direction with the stranger things cast. Still can't belive they're the same age or older than me.
I think it also ties in with the "olders and betters" mentality that we're brought up with. There's a sense of gravitas to the office of Prime Minister, and even if they're doing stupid shit there's a monkey bit of my brain that's like "ah, but they're old enough to know better than me". But now the PM is only four months older than I am, and my mum worked for his dad for a few years, so we could have (theoretically) turned in the same circles*, and he's up there in the highest office in the land, doing stupid shit and I'm looking at him and wondering who let this idiot kid be in charge.
*We really couldn't have though, he went to a very fancy school and was already married to a billionaire by the time my mum started working for his dad. His dad's actually sound.
I am the same age as Emmanuel Macron and it hurts too
Smoking.
This could be a anti smoking ad
And still smokers wouldn't give a F
And sun exposure. Wear your sunscreen folks.
I am confused? I see plenty of 45 year olds that look like this. Just like how I see 18 year olds that look like they are 30 year old dudes, and also 18 year olds that look like they haven't even reached 13.
How old do Rhett and Link look? They are about this age. Link is pretty grey.
Yeah they look about 45 (a few years older than me) to me. I think that's about right. 80's 45-year olds look like they are in their 50's.
Change their clothes and hair style and this is exactly how 45 years old look like... Steve Martin has a baby face, even with gray hair.
In hollywood youre either acting as a teenager or senior citizen
Same in porn
I can't get that old, ever. I am 45 next year, and it's like Oscar Wilde had said: "The tragedy of growing old is not that one is old but that one is young" and you have to show that. Starting with jiu jitsu next month. Let's roll!
45 y/o here that's been doing jiujitsu for 17 years. Hit me up if you need any tips.
Must not be very good if this newbie can hit you up that easily...
Oh see I love my forties. I'm almost 50 and I like that too. It rocks!
BJJ will keep you mentally young but your body will start feeling a lot older. Upside is that it'll be able to do more cool stuff.
I see two rather young looking faces framed by grey or white hair (I'm a big fan of natural greying) and with terrible outfits that make them look much older. So to me it seems that finally we have a better fashion.
People deye their hair more now. That's the biggest difference.

Great video, highly recommend
He was 50 and she was 49 in 1995. Not too far off.
Was watching an old episode of The Twilight Zone, main character was supposed to be 25, I swear he looked 40+ easily.
The first season of The Sopranos, James Gandolfini was only 36 or 37 when they were filming it. He looked 50 easily
Maybe that was the Charles Bronson episode.
Dawson Casting was even more severe back when the Twilight Zone aired. The Old School!
I wonder if Dawson Casting is quite right though. I'm thinking here of an actor playing a man in his mid 20s, but looking much older. Whether he was or not, I'm not sure, but flipping through Wikipedia's transcripts of the opening narrations of the first season episodes, I see:
E21 has Vera Miles playing a 25 year old when she's 30.
E31 has George Grizzard playing someone in his "youthful 20s" when he's about 32 and looks it.
Seems similar, but also different: older actors playing younger people.

Someone on his 80th Birthday (Sex, Drugs & Rock'n Roll)
How much dye?
Steve Martin still looks the same
Exactly the same!
And both of them were five years removed from playing teenagers.
I may not look like this but I definitely feel like it!
Boomers just look old by default
