Steve Kanaly was only 32?!


Seriously, he looks definitely 50ish. People seem to have aged faster back then. I see pictures from the 80s and they all look older. Maybe it's distorted by our perception of past times, but maybe people didn't take care of themselves as much as nowadays.

It's because he was prematurely gray.

50ish seems a little exaggerated, but yeah, he looked terrible for a 32-year old.

reply

Lots of folks look older than they are. Glenn Powell could easily be mistaken for a 40something

reply

Wow, yes, he looks more like 45 than 35 (compared to other Hollywood people, of course)

reply

One of the few admirable components of "Anyone But You" was their use of Powell not looking nearly as young as the characters he often portrays as fodder for comedy. Granted, the jokes themselves are less-side splitting than whatever the fuck Jo Koy was doing at The Globes

April is right. His hair.

The same with Steve Martin. His hair started to turn white in his twenties and he had white hair in about his early thirties.

If you look at both Steves closely you will see they look their actual age in the 80's.

Premature loss of hair is another one that makes a young actor look older.
