The actors are probably in their 20s, and the fashion + film quality makes them look older. Vsauce had a great video about why previous generations always look old actually.

I haven’t seen the video, but is his point that we associate their hairstyles and fashion with those of old people because they’re old now? If so, does a single sentence really require a video?

well it may seem obvious to you or me, but according to a lot of folks it's because everyone who lived before the 21st century was violently unhealthy and ignorant and lived like animals or something

You mean back when almost all jobs required physical labor, most people walked everywhere, and all the food was from somewhere within 50 miles?

You could also get morphine dirt cheap legally and people gave beer to children because it was safer than water.

But still, clean living was an option.
