Heb je soms ook het gevoel dat mensen er vroeger ouder uitzagen dan nu? Dan ben je niet de enige. Heb je dat gevoel letterlijk nog nooit gehad? Nou dan nog neigen we te zeggen ‘moet je nou eens kijken joh!’ Want Twitter werd deze vraag gesteld, en dat zorgde voor een hoop ‘bewijzen.’
1. Brandon McCarthy stelde de vraag op Twitter.
2. En als snel werden er voorbeelden bijgehaald.

3. En dat is niet het enige verlijkingsmateriaal.
I don’t know but I’d like to take this opportunity to point out Nigel Farage and Keanu Reeves are the same damn age. pic.twitter.com/XrozXOZq9i

4. De sterren van vroeger zagen er al opvallend vroeg ‘oud’ uit.
George Wendt was THIRTY THREE in the first season of Cheers. John Ratzenberger was 34! pic.twitter.com/s239yApKOl

5. Zou het door de snor komen?
And Clark Gable is 39 here. pic.twitter.com/rUr9NEriqL

6. Hoe dan ook is het opvallend.
I was going to point this out – O’Connor was actually only 47 when All In The Family started! Harrelson is a decade older, but looks two decades younger. pic.twitter.com/G8uyXsPnMt

7. Twitteraars ondersteunen de ondervinding met eigen foto’s uit de oude doos.
Definitely. These are my parents when my mom was pregnant with me. They were like 23. pic.twitter.com/Eoa3wDs42D

8. Ook bij sporters is het verschil bizar.
This is Buddy Ryan, age 51, his first season coaching in Philadelphia.
That’s a few months older than Dabo Swinney is today. pic.twitter.com/xXGQDydVnT

Larry Bird (pictured age 25-30 probably) looked like he ran his own plumbing business for 30 years and played basketball at the local gym in the evenings to stay young and active pic.twitter.com/LqAadr4NjP

9. Je zou het haast niet geloven.
This is former NHL/WHA hockey player George “Duke” Harris. Born in 1942, he was 31 when this pic was taken. https://t.co/YAQBgIct46 pic.twitter.com/wehGuqsNm5

12. In de Spiderman-films wordt het duidelijk zichtbaar.

13. Om af te sluiten, is er een uitleg. Maar of die wetenschappelijk correct is, weten we niet.
Notwithstanding the genetics, nutrition, lifestyle, etc. of *individual* (persons/family) “outliers”, it still holds up on a *population* basis.
In 1950, average life expectancy (in US) was ~60; now it’s ~80. In 1950, at 30, your life was half over. Today, 40 is the new 30. pic.twitter.com/K2o1JOKO9d
