The secret is to look 40 when you’re 25
The secret is actually money.
Woah did he have plastic surgery on his nose too?
Nose, jaw, etc etc etc
It also helps to have so much wealth you don’t need to worry over things like affording food and housing.
Those 2 have not much to do with it, since there are hundreds of millions on people that have neither of those problems in the EU and USA alone and they still age just fine.
Almost all of them have to work to live somewhat comfortably. They also have to do their own housework and childcare in addition to paid labour, which rich people do not. Both of those, especially in combination, are stressful. Stress ages you.
Once you get to a certain amount of wealth, you never have to do labour again, paid or otherwise, unless you want to.
Not to mention that they can’t afford dieticians, personal trainers, aestheticians, etc., as the rich do.
They absolutely do not need to worry about food and housing. The sample size of these people is gigantic and it simply has nothing to do with it.
If they stopped working, they would eventually have to worry. That is the fundamental difference.
Those “super rich” people lose their hair etc too., today they can simply afford to do something about it. 50 years ago they looked like everyone else. The money is important to deal with the issue, not to prevent it.
How many of them have exited the rat race and could stop working forever without a problem?
That is a completely different level of wealth compared to not worrying about food and housing.
No one “ages fine”, it’s a slow breaking down of your body and its organs over time.
We do actually die of it you know.
So do you agree or disagree that not worrying about food makes you age slower?
Worrying is bad for you if you do it a lot.
If you eat badly iften then that’s bad for you.
But mostly only if it becomes a quite recurrent event.
The basics are, dont do drugs, dont smoke, dont drink (often/regularly), don’t be sedentary, avoid eating processed food and ofc soda.
And then just wait for the next breakthrough that will repair our metabolism a bit so we can be here for a while longer til the next breakthrough comes around.
He probably uses dye for the color. As for not balding that’s fully genetic. Some people are blessed with a full head of hair until they die. Others lose it at 20.
Also hair implants and treatments, like Musk.
Yeah but we have pictures of the bald muskrat. Ewan I’ve only seen with a shaved head so i don’t think he had any surgeries.
While I can’t say Ewan can only look this way because of medical intervention, the vast majority of major entertainers have work done in some way to maintain their looks over time and if they keep up with it you would never notice.
Surgery isn’t the only solution, there are medications, like Finasteride, that actually prevent hair loss by blocking the hormone that causes it. But some people do just have thick gorgeous manes their whole life without help.
My brother is as bald as the day he was born. I, however, have a wonderful mane. He’s only three years older than I am, but he lost his hair a long time ago.
The blessing exists. I’m in my 30s and my dad who’s in his 60s has more hair than me.
I’m not sure how people here are claiming “genetics” when this is clearly hair implants. Implants are fairly cheap overseas and even cheaper in the States when you’re a multimillionaire (relative to differential in income vs an average person).
People forget that looking good, investing in yourself, staying in shape and cosmetic procedures are a part of their jobs as actors and they’ll do it just like anybody else doing their jobs.
People overestimate genetics in most cases, when the answer is really simple: maintenance.
I know! He’s fuckin Scottish. Genetics? He should look like a slice of boiled spam that fell down the back of my gran’s couch in 1987
LOL - I didn’t mean to imply that but now that you’ve said it, yeah… that makes sense.
You have thr balding gene, don’t you?
Some people don’t go bald with age, not really. Is it so hard to believe? None of my grandparents or parents have had any bald spots, grandma from mom’s side having a thic-ass braid halfway down her back.
He’s aged pretty well, but not amazingly. Also, people underestimate how much hair is needed to look like that with good products. Arguably he might have thinner hair than he did when he was in Trainspotting, but it certainly doesn’t look it the way he wears it
But probably you guys are just overestimating how much hair an average person drops in 20 years
I actually have a pretty thick head of hair for my age.
The only reason we’re commenting on his hair is because his hair seems to have grown in texture and thickness with time and it’s apparent that it’s grafted looking at just the texture alone.
Genetics while playing a great role in anatomy does not reverse the effects of aging and taking care of yourself via cosmetic procedure because it’s part of your job along with a healthy lifestyle goes a long way to put off genetic health risks.
If I look at an image of me in the army with a buzzcut and myself in the mirror now, the hair definitely looks thicker now. I don’t know how one’s hair “grows in texture” though, you’ll have to brief me on that.
Most of what I think you’re seeing is hairstyle and product, not transplants. But I wouldn’t put money on it.
By grown in texture I meant that the volume of hair seems fuller. While that can be product/hairstyle, another giveaway is that his hairline def looks like it recedes with age. Picture on the left is the classic, my hairline is receding and I’ve got longer hair to compensate for it. The picture on the right has a hard stop on the hairline and hair growing out exactly where the hairline “stopped” receding.
Got a ton of balding men around me, and grafting is a popular topic of conversation. 🙂
I’ll have to trust your expertise, I guess. The hairline not being straight is suspect, but also, it might be perspective or something.
I does look kinda too straight in the second picture now that you mention it, though.
It’s called money. 😆 And surgeries.
It’s called genes.
Not everyone has male pattern baldness. My dad didn’t have a bald spot when he died, and none of my grandparents have either. Although half of them are dead as well.
But yeah, if you do have shitty genes for hair, you can fix it with money.
Step 1: Be rich enough to afford all the exercise / healthy living.
Step 2: have a job that has a positive loop to said attractive looks

If you receding or going bald. Minoxidil and finasteride will help slow things down or even help with regrowth if you lucky.
Minoxidil is topical (usually) and finasteride is a pill. You go on fin when you have a hair transplant so if you going down that route you might as well try fin first.
I bet every actor is on fin.
The skin on my head: “Hello there!”

Alternatively, compare him from Phantom Menace to Revenge of the Sith. Poor bugger aged 20 years in 6 years.
not everybody goes bald, and hair dye is fairly cheap and readily available. this isn’t mysterious or anything.
Genetics
My Grandpa died with a full head of hair. On the other hand, I know someone who is mid 20s and already going bald
most people who are gonna go bald start going bald before they hit 30.
mens hair coloring is a thing
It feels intangibly relevant somehow that Alec Guinness was wearing a toupee when he played original Obi-Wan.
It always amuses me that we’re supposed to believe that in the span of 5 years Obi-wan goes from looking like Ewan McGregor to looking like Alec Guinness.
Luke is a new born at the end of Episode III. He’s in his late teens at the start of Episode IV. So it’s more like 15 years, if not more.
17 iirc
Actually, Rebels is supposed to take place between the Reva show and ANH, and he’s depicted as cartoon Alec Guinness there.
No, it’s genetic, i can confirm.
I recently had a friend tell me I “don’t age” or “age in reverse.” Something like that. My secret?
I was way, way fat when I was younger. My head looked like a thumb with vaguely discernible facial features. I was pushing 300 pounds and miserable. Truly hated myself. I steadily lost weight and mostly learned to keep it off (keto was huge, but not totally essential), then slowly added muscle. I’m not jacked. But the net effect is I look less like a puddle of misery than I used to.
Also Minoxidil! $30 for six-month-plus supply of the Walmart brand and it’s been working better than expected, even at only half the recommended amount.
