The secret is to look 40 when you're 25

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 108 points 2 months ago

The secret is actually money.

[-] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 months ago

I wonder if he got hair plugs or had some other kind of miracle cure for baldness.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Woah did he have plastic surgery on his nose too?

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Nose, jaw, etc etc etc

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 53 points 2 months ago

It also helps to have so much wealth you don't need to worry over things like affording food and housing.

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

[-] generalpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

LOL - I didn’t mean to imply that but now that you’ve said it, yeah… that makes sense.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

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

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.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 41 points 2 months ago

Also hair implants and treatments, like Musk.

[-] teft@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The blessing exists. I'm in my 30s and my dad who's in his 60s has more hair than me.

[-] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

It's called money. 😆 And surgeries.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] TOModera@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

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

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

The skin on my head: "Hello there!"

[-] Wanderer@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

[-] Affidavit@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

Alternatively, compare him from Phantom Menace to Revenge of the Sith. Poor bugger aged 20 years in 6 years.

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

[-] juliebean@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

most people who are gonna go bald start going bald before they hit 30.

[-] juliebean@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

not everybody goes bald, and hair dye is fairly cheap and readily available. this isn't mysterious or anything.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

No, it's genetic, i can confirm.

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

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

[-] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago
[-] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Actually, Rebels is supposed to take place between the Reva show and ANH, and he's depicted as cartoon Alec Guinness there.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

mens hair coloring is a thing

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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.

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Good looking young people make good looking old people. Will wonders never cease?

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

It helps that in the first pic he was saying an aged up character, like they intentionally made him look older

[-] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Botox and filler when done well will keep a person looking younger for longer. So, basically they key is to have money and spend it on your looks. 👍
