Kiefer and Jason were only 20?


Don't they look much older to you, too? Maybe it's because I was 12 when I first saw it in 1988 and 20-year-old people looked much older to me back then. And that's why they still look much older to me. Perception can play tricks on you.

At 12, most older people look ancient. Anyone over 30 was a wrinkled geezer.

reply

Yes! They look old as Hell even watching it today, what is the deal with people from Gen X aging so badly?

reply

People aged differently in the past and I know the 80's wasn't that long ago but if you look at films from the 40's the actors look quite old then you find out they were in their late 20's or early 30's!

reply

Could be that people didn't look after themselves as much back then. More booze, more cigarettes, less moisturizer and an unhealthy diet. Look at Ted Danson on Cheers. He was 33ish in season one, yet looks like late 40s. The other cast members look even older.
