People do seem to have aged more rapidly until a few decades ago. Perhaps all the cigarette smoke weathered them.

I mean, to be fair, I'm 10 years older than Connery in that picture, and he still looks older than me. Dude was born old.
And the other dude has a baby face, but looking closely I can see that he's older.
Half the difference here is the fact that modern actors have a better skincare routine. Connery probably smoked, too.
The other dude is pretty damn good in The Artful Dodger, by the way. He's playing close to his actual age (deported to Australia, became a skilled ship's surgeon but still uneducated) but still looks like we imagine the little cutpurse, it's a winning combination.

I'm 20-years older and that's about how my wrinkles are ATM.
He was born in 1930. Not exactly a great time to be an Englishman.
Sean Connery has never had a great time as an Englishman, given he is a Scotsman.
That's my Geordie mom slipping out. You know how limeys get
Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart looked like they were 55 between the ages of 25 and 85. Conversely, Paul Rudd and Joseph Gordon-Levitt looked like they were 15 between the ages of 15 and 40.
Aging is weird.
It was interesting when I realized that Patrick Stewart was my age in the first season of Next Generation.
Jesus Christ don't say that ..... you just made me look it up and realize how true this statement was for myself as well .... what have I done with my life?
What, you're not the captain of a starship yet? Loser!
I'm a character stuck inside a transporter buffer that will never materialize .... I exist but will never appear :(

47 right?
Smoking.
And alcoholism.
And cocaine.
And being outside more by default.
It doesn't really work to compare a human with a fae, does it?
Arch Linux. Not even once.
When "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" was shot, Harrison Ford was 47. Sean Connery was 59 and played the father of Ford's character.
Let's not body shame 12 year old dad's now.
Harrison Ford was 38 when Raiders of the Lost Ark was released. Raiders took place in 1936 so if Indiana was meant to be the same age as Ford then he was born in 1898. The Last Crusade took place in 1938 so Indiana would be 40 at the time. That would make him 19 years younger than his father, assuming that Henry Jones Sr. and Sean Connery were the same age.
He has the green sight.
(GoT reference)
The Connery photo is natural lighting and properly exposed for his skin tone. The newer photo is artificially lit, much brighter for the skin tone and could have been retouched to blur the skin some. The photo on the right may have also had makeup on, vs on the left not likely.
All true, but, that's a fucking very aged looking 34 regardless.
34 and 35
