15 Side-by-Side Photos That Prove We’re Aging Very Differently Nowadays

Sun care has also been a game changer for aging. We spend less time in the sun & when we do, we cover our skin.

Gary Cooper looks younger

People today look older, less innocent. Heavy makeup is not the answer.

That's because Margot Robbie doesn't smoke cigarettes, which were a common thing in Lauren's time; nowadays we're more health-conscious.

Gable is still a handsome dude ... beats Dempsey hands down!! ... but then I've never seen the appeal in Dempsy anyway ... even in his heyday..

Kristen Stewart could never reach that kind of classic beauty. Google Ava Gardner and see how gorgeous she really is I don't even like this picture.

They look the same age, just with different makeup and hair aesthetics. Both are beautiful in their own rights.

Kirsten Dunst looks older

Bette Davis was a well-known cigarette smoker, because less awareness was had of the health hazards of smoking than there is now. Demi doesn't smoke, and takes good care of herself, that's why she still looks hot in her 60s!

James Stewart had already been a pilot in a world war by this age ... & was a married man with children & expected to be 'responsible'! Men didn't use skincare either. Ahhh the changes that these years have given to the youth of today ... but give me James Stewart any day ... He's just a darned gorgeous 'man' ... like Clark Gable!

Natalie Portman looks older

Louise Brooks still looks like a 21 yo here .. or even younger, but that's just my opinion.

Irene Dunn looks younger
