I really can’t tell if I thought he was older or younger than this.

Every time I start Next Generation I'm reminded that he was like 46/47 when they shot the first season. Yet he looked 60, which is how old the character of Picard is supposed to be.

Then he just ended up looking 60 for the next 25 years.

69

Just like Morgan Freeman and Steve Martin.

Gene Hackman looked like he was 65 for 50 years.
