Guy on left can afford nice shirt.
This gives a pretty good explanation of the psychology
yes the thing that changed was lead posioning from gas and chain smoking cigs starting at 12
Also pesticides were even more unregulated than they are now. Remember how they just sprayed DDT everywhere in the 40’s till the 70’s. Even on directly on people. Shit had multigenerational consequences, even grandchildren of people who had a high exposure to that stuff are being affected.
I smoked from 15 to 30 drank every weekend in the same time. 40 now and I look more like the one on the right
Recently watched The Seven Year Itch (1955) and the man claims to be 37. He looks like a young 50. Cigarettes.
In addition to people not smoking anymore, direct Sun exposure has dropped dramatically too.
I’m 40 and I look like the second picture
There was a real missed opportunity to have a picture of Jason Alexander (who was in his 30’s during most of Seinfeld’s production) instead of James Gandolfini.
Still true tho
Wasn’t Tony in his 40’s?
Please say Tony was in his 40’s!!!
George Costanza was in his 30s throughout the run of seinfeld
Tony was 41 per the pilot script but the actor was 38.
AJ is now 41 in 2026.
This is the best news I’ve gotten all week. I look like a less balding 90s 30. That’s great for being 45.
Does anyone else tell themselves all the other dads they meet are actually much younger than you?
Individual genetics are probably more important. I had an uncle that liked like he was 42 when he was really 20-63.
Yep, It’s not only cigarettes, but air pollution too.
And the gabagool
And the gobbledygook
What is gabagool? Looks like some kind of salted meat.
It’s New Jersey Italian-American for capicola. Kind of like prosciutto
It’s nothing but fat and nitrates!
Great example of how stress ages you
Not stress, smoking, drinking and no sunscreen does that to you.
I don’t think stress is any less, but actually more than in the 90’s
Few people are as consistently stressed as Tony Soprano. Sure, he’s got the big house, the big car, the ridiculously understanding wife, but he also has had to kill a few family members and more friends than is usually healthy. Once, he got a good friend indebted to him then burnt down his restaurant. All this while trying to keep two steps ahead of the feds. That lifestyle would age anyone.
Edie Falco in one of the later seasons gave one of the most impressive and stunning acting performances that I have ever witnessed on TV.
When she screams at Tony to get out of the house, she could shatter hearts with that voice.
Just came to think of it seeing as this is a shitpost or whatever.
Yeah, she really was incredible when the writers gave her something to do.
None of that was real though lol.
To be fair, I don’t know much about James Gandilfini.
Jim Gandalfini? Yeah I knew him. I knew him when he was a young, unshaven actor, before he fell, and spent forty years battling the foul Morgul stench. He emerged from that an aged man, his stubbled chin showing hints of grey, body and mind exhausted in spite of a great victory over the dark side. He took to wearing nothing but bathrobes, and rested heavily on his staff when he had to walk. His recovery was heavily reliant on resting his mind with the weed leaf, and rejuvenating his mind amongst the gardens and feasts of middle America, off the beaten track, as aeons passed him by. Soon, the great evil mustered its strength once more, and he again took to the battlegrounds of the Midwest, or as it was then known, middle earth…
Neat TIL
Wouldn’t it be great if that was true
I’m talking more about the 90’s in general
Gandolfini was also an addict too
Awful example. The 90s had WAAAAAAAAY less stress than today.
Yeah but we didn’t know that!
It’s the micro plastics
Liquid Plastic Surgery in a Bottle
pfff… they both look like high schoolers from the 1950’s.
