Jesus Christ, he looks like a 60-year-old from Today.

I suppose back then, blokes who were 40 were probably expecting to be nearly 2/3rd's of the way through their expected life, whereas now that's not even half.

I suppose people just went passed their best a hell of a lot earlier, and I suppose once you look old, you're not going to really look older as time goes on. Ron looks almost the same now, as he did back then, yet he's twice as old.
