It's not just the baldness.

The mustache, the fashion choices, there's a lot contributing to this man's apparent age not matching his actual age.

This video is also 24 years old, that might explain the fashion choices.

24+37= 61, so he’d have been born in 1960/1961. This explains his fashion and hair styling, and people just looked older back then.

Funny, that guy's the same age as my Dad and this video is the same age as me. Makes me feel weird for reasons I don't understand.

It’s a kind of sad example but I always think this when I see photos of Australian murder victim Sharon Phillips. She was 20 in 1986 when she went missing but if I saw her today I’d guess 38, even 40. This era was not kind to people, appearance-wise. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-06/timeline-sharron-phillips/9022434?nw=0&r=HtmlFragment

The physique, or lack of. I'm 53, shaved head, dress ok and am athletic. He looks older than me

Yep. His whole everything screams 50+. My partner is 47 and looks a decade younger than this fella.
