That may be, but you can see he doesn’t look generally as healthy. Just look at his skin and jaw structure. While our life is easier in many ways(some of which actually make us more sickly), the environment, and way we’re “forced” to live now is awful, and stressful at a biological level that many don’t even understand.

You're comparing a photo taken at a professional studio to a spontaneous photo at the supermarket. Take a look at [examples of how much camera focal length can "transform" the shape of a person](https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/1792406/photographer-comparing-different-lens.jpg). Lighting also plays a huge role in how a person looks, since the right photographer knows how to hide wrinkles or other mild imperfections.
I’m not disagreeing with you fren, I even threw you an upvote. I’m just saying there is much more at play. This is based off of other examples, and discussions I’ve had with others throughout my life, not just this one pic/example. Just look at the extreme drop in testosterone levels over the last 60 years or so. That’s just one example of what I’m talking about.
The one of his grandfather was a navy pic? May have been fresh out of boot camp. Running 5 miles at 4am in the morning everyday and hundreds of pushups and fresh food straight out of the field. Compare that to harmful facial scrub scooterboy who just ate goyslop at the food court.
Edit: the neck is also telling.
