Just because I don't share your opinion doesn't give you the right to repeatedly insult me.

No, it's an opinion. People are saying Anthony Quinlan looks 40, I don't think so and not everybody else will.

I'm surprised at that, would have thought she was younger.
Tina O'Brien doesn't look much different to when she was on Corrie before, she still looks so young.

No insults!
I just don't see any of these actors as looking young for their age
Those mentioned on this thread do look their age and have the lines, jowls and turkey necks to prove it- that's what ageing does for you, unless of course you can afford to fight it.

I REALLY don't think Amanda Mealing looks almost 50.

Could have had a little help, perhaps?
I am in my forties, but when I had my very first job in a perfumery, the Elizabeth Arden consultant asked me how old I thought she was. I had a good look and decided she was mid forties, but as it was my first job I thought I would knock 10 years off, so after a great pause I said 35. I thought she was going to batter me, she was 27!! I have always evaded the question since lol. However for this thread, Pete Barton looks older than his mother does and Rodney still looks fabulous!
Maybe not in a soap but cannot let a thread like this go by without mentioning how good Sinitta looks for 22

Perhaps, or maybe it's natural. It happens to some people.
Take Jason Statham for example, if I saw him in the streets I wouldn't think he's 50 next year!

How about you put some suggestions forward and we can judge your thoughts, since we are (apparently) way off track with ages in your opinion.

Why?
I find it surprising that many see actors as a lot younger in years; perhaps they don't look that closely, or can't see beneath the heavy makeup, or perhaps why to screen is wrinkled
I can't be the only one who sees middle aged and old actors as exactly that- middle aged and old!
Take William Roache for example , he's an example of a good looking elderly man, who no way could be taken for a middle aged man, because he isn't!

We weren't saying he could be taken for a middle aged man, we were saying that if we didn't know who he was and saw him in the street and asked to (honestly) age him, a few of us would say mid to late 70's. My thread was about actors whose ages you discovered and were quite shocked about as you thought they were younger or older

I hope you are joking as Lesley Joseph looks older than Dot

Exactly, plus the example given with Ken there, he is what 84 but plays his late seventies. He definitely doesn't look to be in his mid 80's to me.
What do you expect someone to look like at 50, 60, 70, 80?
To me the actress who plays Eileen looks how I would expect someone to look in their fifties

I agree with you about Eileen but there are quite a few mentioned in this thread who don't look their age.

They are probably the ones who have had" work" done!
A tight jawline, no double chin, smooth neck , bag less eyes is not normally achieved by natural means when you hit 40 plus!

Not necessarily! People can just look good!

Rarely, and rarely is it due to just "genes!"

I never said it was due to genes. (Although genes play a part I believe)
How is it "rarely"? A lot of people look good for their age, even random people like family members and friends. I don't think it's fair to assume people have had work just because they look good/younger
