In the past people literally aged faster due to diet, dental care, and UV protection. Fashion plays a role too.

I think having more dated haircuts and clothing also contributes to that older look effect. If you watch 80’s movies you’d think all the daddies are playing high school teenagers.

Yea I definitely agree with that! Especially looking at antique portraits, young people always look older and more hardened.
