Imho he looked older, that receding hairline too is quite significant.

British people look old generally except the Irish , a lot of them are baby faced. It's largely due to urbanization and interclass marriages. A lot of America is mostly English and Irish and both either look old or babyfaced there isn't a whole lot of middle ground. Australians also look very baby faced because of this mix. Canadians somewhat but they are more English and Scottish.

Of course, he looked older, you can easily give him 40 years. Just look at those deep lines on his forehead. Plus, already in this film, he used a wig.

[Peter Parker]

I have receding hairline although I am only 20 lol.
However, some people still think that I look younger than I am.

They didn't.

Well, 1800s folk did look older, especially in rural areas where working from dusk till dawn was often commonplace, and combine that with fathers who enjoyed hooch and cards, and you've got a moneyless half-starved mom and kids ready for tuberculosis, etc., plus premature aging, of course.
