        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.

          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.

              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.

          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.

                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.

    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.

      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

      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.

    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.

    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.

          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.

    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.

    It feels intangibly relevant somehow that Alec Guinness was wearing a toupee when he played original Obi-Wan.
