  2. Unfortunately, here George was already looking older than his actual age. Too much smoking, that eventually took his life.

    1. Paul aged quite well imo. If any of the others failed to age gracefully, they deserve some slack. These guys went through so much in their lives, especially guys who were only in their 20's during all of the mania. No one knows what they went through. George said he sometimes felt like an old man by the time he was 30. Chronic stress will do that to the body.

    2. All of them were stressed. Smoking was the main problem with George, heroin with John. Very ageing. Too much cannabis for Paul and his good looks eventually suffered imo. Ringo turned himself round relatively early. They all self-medicated with something.

    4. Paul and Ringo have aged well, they take good care of themselves and keep themselves active, surrounded by lots of love.

    5. Cannabis did not impact Paul's looks that much. It's easy to try to pinpoint factors as to why someone ages well (or doesnt) but each human body is different. Paul smoked both ciggies and cannabis up a storm BUT he still looked pretty good throughout his pre-senior years ( and yes, the aging process typically starts to accelerate for everyone starting in their early 50s, even Paul).......and then there's genetics.

    7. In the eighties and more in the nineties, I began to see George much older than his actual age.
