Older Than They Look: Difference between revisions

When science fiction or fantasy takes this trope to its illogical extreme, it leads to [[Really 700Seven Hundred Years Old]] or a [[Time Abyss]]. See also [[Age Is Relative]] and [[Improbable Age]]. Not to be confused with [[Older Than They Think]]. Contrast with [[Younger Than They Look]]. If they're just drawn in a way that makes them seem older, it's [[Artistic Age]]. When a character is played by a much younger actor, it becomes [[Hollywood Old]] unless the difference is [[Justified Trope|justified]]. When the ''actor'' is older than the character they portray, it's [[Dawson Casting]] (although the actor themselves may just fit this trope, justifying the [[Dawson Casting]]).

Remember, this trope only covers characters who aren't impossibly old, just much older than they look. For characters who are impossibly old, see [[Really 700Seven Hundred Years Old]] and [[Time Abyss]].
