The difference is 1 part genetics, 1 part skin care routines, 1 part sun protection habits, 7 parts a lifetime with or without smoking and being surrounded by people smoking at nearly all times.
I wonder if it is also differing beauty standards. Older men used to be considered more sexy. Nowadays a guy over 40 is basically a corpse but if you watch old movies you’ll see guys who look 50 or even 60 in hero roles, and they get the girl, too.
So what I’m saying is, Sean Connery might never be chosen as a leading actor today because he looks too old.
Sure but you can’t name many movies where a guy over 50 gets plenty. We all know that media beauty standards don’t hold up the same in reality. Large ladies getting plenty of action in reality being the most obvious example.

I know 50+ year old men who get plenty, and look pretty hot. The key, besides genetics, seems to be both not smoking and doing enough sports.

Ouch!
Don’t worry, I feel your pain. Just wait until the day a beautiful women says you’re like an uncle to her.
Sean Connery also wore a toupée ever since he was in his 20s. Dude went bald early and hid it from the world until he was an old man.
It’s also nose and ear size, jawline, and lighting. Although it’s possible that’s already a toupee on Sean.
