Not really, TV age and real-life age are different. Bald men who weren’t old were rare on TV, they still are really. 47 is also young to be that fully bald. So, that made it seem like he was 60+ on TNG. It has also meant that in the decades since then, he hasn’t really seemed to age much.
Well, Star Trek NG first aired in 1987, and there he already looked fucking old!
a lesson for the kiddos. you can look old and still have a very long time left. it’s called mid-life for a reason =)
As a middle-aged bald, I needed this.
Picard looked so old the first time I watched TNG. The second time he was much younger than I remembered. Seems to appear younger to me every rewatch
Wee baby Seamus
He was only 47 when TNG first aired.
Something only someone in their 50s+ would say

As someone who just turned 47, he looked way older than I do and feel.
