Smoking, alcohol, no sunscreen will still age up a person of today by 10 years.
I think also one of them probably had an easier path:
Sean Connery’s father was Joseph Connery, a factory worker and lorry driver.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster was the actor and performer, Mark Sangster.

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.
Nah just drugs/drinking/smoking. He has admitted he started smoking at 9
Those huge glasses that were in vogue in the 80’s did no one any favors.

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.

Idk man, I’ve always looked way younger than my age when shaved, but not that extreme. Skin care or not, I would not want to look like that at 34.
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.

Brodie-Sangster is also like preternaturally youthful looking. 1999 Kyle Chandler in Early Edition at age 34 sort of splits the difference, and Jesse Plemons at 36-38, after he lost some weight, is closing in on Connery levels of character in his face.
that’s the second reference to early edition i’ve ever encountered in my life, and the first one was mentioned in passing because the creator of that show also wrote and directed “alien private eye”.
…is that you, vik?
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
Tinfoil hat: The billionaires are all pedos so they make products to make everyone look like children longer so they have more options. The dude on the right legit looks like a child.
Before reading the title i was like “wonder what happened to that kid?”. Lo and behold, mf is older than me and, on second glance, I prolly look older than Connery.
How are even Connery’s earlobes masculine?
But I always sat in the NON-SMOKING section of the airplane?

You won’t believe what he looked like after smoking only one marijuana.
Does the little one also hit women?
Describing an “openhanded slap” as “justified,” Connery also said it could be used “if all other alternatives fail and there has been plenty of warning,” adding, “If a woman is a bitch, or hysterical, or bloody-minded continually, then I’d do it.”
I mean… it’s based? Beating anyone is wrong, of course - but if you have to do it, for example, for a defence, should you stop just because it’s a woman?
Right, because advocating hitting women for being hysterical screams gender equality.
Could be worse is a shitty sentiment. Just stop at beating anyone is wrong.
Punch Nazis in the face.
I am, in fact, willing to make exceptions for extrememe circumstances… like that
Wrong. People like you live in a pink cotton-candy bubble universe.
Wow, you’re that way all the way round, good luck with that incel stuff. blocked!
These hypotheticals always boil down to ‘I just want to hit women’. It’s not based. You’re just telling on yourself.
No, I don’t want to beat anyone. But I can imagine the situations, so do you.
And, you know, gender here don’t matter at all. It’s bad to use any kind of physical force to another human, especially on weaker one. But there can be situations where it’s justified.
If a woman is a bitch, or hysterical, or bloody-minded continually
Which one of these is grounds for self defense again?
I already wrote about my opinion in another root. Any physical force applied to another human is bad, especially to a weaker one. But we live in a crazy, mad world.
For example, If I’d see someone dangerous on a stree, in a state of psychosis (or just aggressive), approaching me - I would not look at gender. And, in general, if anyone is aggressive to me, I would be aggressive in the return - that’s all.
I agree that Sean words seems very misogynistic, but personally I’m doubting that he meant “I would beat woman that annoyed me”.
Or maybe he was, we’ll never know.
Connery’s stance on violence as a means of control, not self defense, is documented in a pretty famous Barbara Walters interview.
Connery: I think it depends entirely on the circumstances, and if it merits it.
Walters: What would merit it?
C: Well, if you have tried everything else. And- women are pretty good at this. They can’t leave it alone. They’ve got to have the last word, and you give them the last word. But they’re not happy with the last word. They want to say it again. And get into a really provocative situation. Then, I think it’s absolutely right.
You may not be familiar with all of this, which is entirely fair because it’s not reasonable to have watched every celebrity interview in history, but I would encourage you to watch it as context. He was inarguably talking about hitting women in his life to shut them up.
First time I saw that interview, I remember being shocked by how blunt and honest it was, because like most people I liked Connery as a movie star. He did not sanitize his opinions. Outside a card game with the boys on a Thursday night, you’re not going to hear a more honest endorsement of violence in a relationship.
I judge his words based on what he actually said instead of using them to make an entirely unrelated point justifying violence.
In no way does what he said about striking a woman for being disagreeable suggest he’s talking about self defense.
He very much did mean he beats women who annoy him.
1987, he elaborated on his quotes to Playboy. “I haven’t changed my opinion… If you have tried everything else – and women are pretty good at this – they can’t leave it alone. They want to have the last word and you give them the last word, but they’re not happy with the last word. They want to say it again, and get into a really provocative situation, then I think it’s absolutely right,”
Six years after THAT
“Sometimes there are women who take it to the wire. That’s what they’re looking for, the ultimate confrontation—they want a smack.”
Stop trying to defend him, mythologise him or bring fcking self defense into this. It’s disgusting
In a world of Cornell predators, I have to agree, there’s primal elements of his comment I do not sit well with.
Then I look at Israel - a case of someone playing a World’s Biggest Victims card so hard they get away with the most reprehensible thing (to the point they’re harming the rest of said victims)
Chances are, none of us will ever run into a person acting so horrible, so evil, they deserve violence even though they’re enacting none. But I don’t think it’s impossible. I think some really evil people bank on everyone thinking such a person/situation is impossible.
And yeah, as a side note, said evil people could be women. I agree in almost any plausible situation anyone can come up with, even to the point of yelling, arguing, and slinging insults, violence is just about never justified, regardless of the person’s gender. But I will not say “never” - not 100.00% of the time.
We are talking about domestic abuse.
