    Did y’all forget that Frodo went to the Undying Lands? He only visits for work.

    Edit: it seems I’ve forgotten… he’d still age in the Undying Lands.

    This confirms he is a Dark Lord then, and must have purposefully sought to infiltrate Valinor. I don’t dare to guess his intentions…

      Doesn’t he go to Valinor to die though? He doesn’t live forever just because he was a ringbearer, he went for some healing and respite before moving on to the Doom of Hobbits. I always thought the Quest and the Wound caused him to ‘die’ young, he never healed, he left for Valinor, had a nice peaceful nap in Elvenlands, and died happy.

    Yeh this feels a bit of a stretch for someone aging from early 20s to early 40s. A, some people have good genes. B, we tend to notice men’s aging with less weight(ymmv culturally). And, C he’s a millionaire movie star with access to the healthcare that comes with.

    Never forget that Hollywood stars have access to the most expensive & exclusive skin care, trainers, health care, & even plastic surgery, the likes of which we grimy little Proudfeet will never even hear of. Check Cate B out too, she hasn’t aged an hour

    I’m very very slightly younger than him and aged the same way. My beard grew in better as I got older and I got a better haircut, but other than a few grey hairs in the beard, a couple of extra pounds, and a slightly changed hairline I’m really similar to the kid in the picture from my boot camp graduation. I expect that to change pretty hard in the next couple of years when all my drinking and hedonism finally catches up to me.

    Well, I say it’s just good genes and nutrition.

    However if he still looks like that 100 years from now, then we may need to have a conversation…
