How Idols of Past and Current Generations Looked at the Same Age

When looking through graduation albums and staring at photos of our mothers and grandmothers, we oftentimes start to think that schoolkids of those years looked more serious and older than those of today. Perhaps that’s simply due to the modern technique of photography or because of makeup, clothes, and hairdos. Some people claim it’s all about psychological perception.

We at Bright Side compared 14 idols of past generations with modern celebrities to check whether people really looked older before. But frankly speaking, we’re more confused and perplexed now.
