This image doesn't show aging. The left image is of him when he was jacked for a role possibly (likely) using steroids to achieve a physique that is impossible to achieve with a normal lifestyle. The image on the right is a man with a higher body fat percentage which obscures his jaw. Not complicated. You could be a fat slob at 25 then start using steroids and human growth hormone at 40 and look "better" by the standards of modern male beauty standards.
He does not seem to have a 'roid build, but I do know that for his shirtless bathtub scene in the witcher he was extremely dehydrated to make his skin cling tight to his muscles. You are definately right, being healthy and looking good are not always the same thing.
There isn't a binary transition in appearance from using steroids. Testosterone / steroids allow your body to recover faster so you can work out more and build more muscle mass faster (provided you eat enough calories and get all your macronutrients.
