If you were 19 in the 60s you actually lived through a period where there were still loopholes in child labor laws that would have “allowed” you to work in the fields, mines, or factories as a young child, meaning at least some of those 19 year olds looked 50 because they had the soul and experience of one.

Those loopholes were closed in 49. Still, we have child labor happening all over the us and world to the day.

After I watch the biopic Lovelace starring Amanda Seyfried about Deep Throat, I finally decided to check out the movie. Partly because I'd never seen it before, it biopic made it out to be super goofy, but also she said that you could see bruises on her body from the physical abuse her bf at the time put her through.

She legit looks in her mid-to-late 30s by today's standards but was barely 23 when she made it!

It's likely due to how common smoking was back then, amongst other factors

fact: everyone who was alive in the 60s is old.

george costanza was 33 years old

For real was just talking to my wife about this phenomenon, watching the OG "It" (the Tim Curry one).

First off...holy shit, 12-year-old Richie Tozier was played by Seth Green. That means he was 12 in the late 80s, meaning he's in his 50s now.

I think that makes Seth Green a fair comparison here since he's one of the few childhood actors of the era still both alive and active. (Although he is also a ginger and therefore soulless...so maybe not a great comparison...)

50-something real-life Seth Green looks younger han 40-something whoever the hell played Richie in the original. Hell Jermaine Clement Bill Hader was nearing 50 for the remake and I would've never guessed.

(And while Clement Hader was a perfect great (Clement would've been better) cast for grownup Finn Wolfhard...I kinda wish it was Green, now that I realized he was the original young Richie)
