K's age
It looks like they may have made a concerted effort to suggest that K was really old. There were several references by J to K being really old, "100, 110", and he may have been made up to look older.
The probable reason for this--to make it believable that Josh-K was 43 years younger than Tommy-K. If young K were 29, as he said, Tommy-K would be 72. At the time of filming, 2011, TLJ was 65.
