Pretty ridiculous. And he says he eats high carbs...scandalous! :-)

Some articles are false in order to make a point or seem nostalgic. He doesn't look much different today from how he looked in 2004, but they make it seem like yesteryear for dramatic effect:

yes indeed, shorter hair makes you look much younger although your skin complexion is very good.

I think many of the people who usually look younger than their age are blessed with well structured cheekbones, high cheekbones tend to keep the face intact around the cheek area rather than allow it to drop with age, Jared Leto is a great example, which is why it helps him look incredibly younger than what he really is.

My mother-inlaw is 70 and people guess her age at 10 years younger..it's mostly because she acts a lot younger and dyes her hair black and it's long and curly, she is very active and still works hard. Also another lady I know who is almost 70 still plays with the kids on a trampoline and cycles everywhere, it's hard to think she is as old as she is!! she also dyes her hair and wears nice mak up and clothes.Also Rosemary Conley is a famous british fitness guru she has better legs than most 20 yr olds she looks fab and she is 65!! again she acts a lot younger!!

<<<< How old would you think that I am?

[Mynona]

I often hear people think I am "a tad under 30" and I was born 1971 (41 this year). But! I think the appearance can do much. Some people doesn't necessary look very young, but has a way of talking, moving, smiling and so on, that is youngish.

My aunt is the opposite to me in how old she looks. But when talking and being with her, she gives the impression of being 20 years younger than she looks (she is really youngish in the way she acts, talks, moves). She did often hear "is that your son" about my father, her brother. My father is just 4 years younger than she is. But as said, when interacting with her, one get the feeling of a much younger person. And I think, if you do not look older than you are (like she does) people will think you "look younger" even if you in fact do not - if you act, and move your face and so on, in a youngish way.

My brother is 36 years old, and when he is buying wine, beer and such (have to be over 20 to do that in Sweden) he has to show ID-card. But also he has a youngish feel to how he moves, talks, acts and so on.

Well, I'd think most musicians do not age terribly well, but that could be due to their lifestyle (crap diets, drugs, uneven sleep schedules, stressful "being on the road"), yeah I'm generalizing here, but anyway I was surprised to see Mr. Nilsen in that clip, he almost looks kinda Andy Milonakis like.

to me he looks much older than his age, like he doesnt take care of himself at all.

[JohnD60]

Brian Cox looks young for his age, I would guess 35 from that photo of him at 40. I have seen him moderate science shows, I thought he looked young for the job.
Katzenberger looks 60 to me. Seriously?
Orjan Nilsen just looks odd to me, not so young, I would guess 30.
Jim Parsons looks elfish to me, not necessarily so young. Hard for me to seperate him from his character. I would bet if you saw him in person, without makeup, and you had not seen the show, that he would look his age.

[DAMI]

I had been reading this post and am very surprised my the general misconceptions.

Most of the people here keep confusing aging with the effect of hormones in the face and the body.

forehead wrinkles for example as most males have in their 30sh or 40sh are not a sign of aging or collagen crosslinking it is a sign that growth hormone has afected this part of the face,Growth hormone cause thick skin with large pores and deep creases.If you look at people in their 20 that has an illness that produce too much growth hormone(acromegaly) you will see in their 20sh they are full of deep wrinkles and creases and old thick leatherlike skin.On the other side if you look at people lacking testosterone and growth hormone in their 30 they have velvet child alike skin.

Many people also confuse having neotenious(child alike) features to be aging well.Jared leto has a very child alike facial structure plus doesnt seem to have much growth hormone receptors neither dihidrotestosterone one(that cause male baldness, coarse skin) the same goes with eminem.

Judging for eminem hands , skin , and facial structure is really have low growth hormone receptors or levels in his body that is why he looks so young.Despite I dont really think he is aging well internaly as he doesnt seem to have a healthy life style.

But you guys are looking at people who are not even 40, before 40 aging in human specie hasnt really kick in!!!!!!!evolution programed us to live quite long, we are a long live specie our proteins and cell membranes are quite resistant to oxidation and damage, so when you guys talk about aging show pictures of people in their 60 or 70 that looks 40 that would a real deal.


I read the entire post and you guys are only showing picture of people who have less maturation signs, than most of the people at their age.That is genetics and how hormones afect their bodys but it has nothing to do with real aging,(unmetaboliced end products acumulation, protein crosslinking, decrease of organ funcional cells, mithocondrial failure, stem cells exhaustion and so on.


Also I am surprised that people doesnt realize that people we consider good looking usually also look younger.Beauty in humans is the sexual selection aplied in our specie, our specie is clearly siffting more and more to neoteny, the more young looking a person looks(big eyes, full hair, good skin ) the more beautiful we perceive them,So it comes together.the same goes with people who are considered ugly they are usually considered like that , either because they have old looking features(small eyes big nose protruding chin, baldnesss leather like skin) or less evolved face(less neotenius) more primitive(ape like)(very small forehead, coarse features , ape like structure.)




this guy matt(from england ,well he lost a lot of weight(caloric restriction I belive) that cause the decrease the 3 main hormones that mature the face and the body, insulin, growth hormone activity ,and increase the binding protein of testosterone(so less testosterone active), so you are dematurating(if the word exist) yourself that is why you look younger , you may at the same time be delaying the aging process too though.

But I have seen many people specially women that are doing caloric restriction and look much older than their non cronies sisters, the reason for this is because they are using a high protein diet, high protein diet increase growth hormone igf1 and if you are very thin the effect of igf1 on the body is even stronger, plus this women as have less strogen of their bodys tent to have an unbalance Testosterone/ estrogen being testosterone the winner. so they look masculine.
A women that has strong bone structure, no fat in her face, a muscular fat free body looks older and more masculine(and also less pretty) than a women with a more femenine look)

in my opinion caloric restriction in humans doesnt work unless you restrict proteins too, our specie have strong mechanism to produce growth hormone igf1 even in famine times, while many animals under caloric restriction have decrease igf1 levels, humans dont. only by doing protein restriction too we can achive this.

I would even dare to say and I am almost 100% positive of this , that a person doing a 40% caloric restriction with high protein diet, will age much faster and die sooner than someone doing a mild 20%caloric restriction plus a mild protein restriction too.

I keep telling people the reason Jared leto looks about 15 years younger than his real age is due to lack of DHT production due to his diet, which has been vegetarian and vegan for most of his adult life. Like it or not meat consumption plays a role in DHT production. So you people who consume alot of meat should consider taking soy isoflavones with your meals (a feature of vegetarian and vegan diets is often high soy consumption). Studies show soy isoflavones to be a good DHT inhibitor. And what's good about isoflavones is you have the DHT inhibiting effect without the possible estrogenic one.

Now what is the cause of older looks, HGH (like james41 said) or DHT? I actually used to read about rejuvinating effects of hgh

37/39 year old guy has very youthful hair in those pics. Is that his real hair? I ask because from the pictures it looks like he is in the desert in either the military or in some support/journalist role. It would seem odd to me that he would have such long hair while living in a middle eastern desert. Overall I would say he looks 32 in the first pic, and 35 in the second pic, but that sun is rough, he might look younger in better light. I know when I have tried wearing my hair that long, it looks good in a still, groomed pic, but, even with a good deal of gel, it gets all frizzy and makes me look older if it is not perfectly groomed.
eta: some further research revealed that the link lead to that guys website, that he is a hard core self promoter, and that the pictures posted are from his website. I searched his name via google images and found some images that were not so cherry picked and/or posed, and he did not look as youthful to me. I had previously assumed these were casual pics.

It is puzzling. I have read many accounts of HGH supplements resulting in more youthful skin and muscle tone in 40+ year olds. So many, that I have accepted it as fact.

My guess...Low HGH production in teens and young adults results in incomplete bone formation, and a youngish look, skin wrinkles are not a problem for teens and twentys, hence the net result is low HGH makes teens and twentys look younger. What makes 40+ year olds look old is skin wrinkles, HGH supplementation results in more youthful skin, thus people 40+ that take HGH look younger. But it is just smoke and mirrors, more or less HGH does not effect the underlying aging clock.

haha Im 34 on the right and the guy on the left is 25

[Artificiality]

These guys are way too harsh. It seems like a lot of you set your standards way too high due to the subject of the thread.
I would say the guy on the left looks 32 (mostly because of his lack of hair) and that you look 34.
