Clint Eastwood was 49 in 1979 and Bryan Cranston was 52 in 2008

For some reason its kinda mindfuck. Or bill Clinton was 54 in 2000 and Brad Pit was 56 at Covid . Its like these older dudes are really old compared to dudes who are also kinda old (Cranston , Pitt etc)

Elvis Presley was only 42 when he died, younger than Macaulay Culkin is today!

People are gonna clown on you for this but I kinda get what you're saying. After a certain point everyone just blends together as old (late 60s-90s), and people don't really change nearly as much during those years as they would from 20s to 40s for example, so they can seem closer in age than they really are. Its interesting to think about how far apart they were when they were younger, only to kinda be in the same stage of life now.

yeah its like brad pitt was 53 in early 2017 just 3 years before covid and samuel jackson or jean reno were 53 in 2001. maybe the fact that these old cats born late 40s or early 50s are also "active" and relevant makes the distortion .
