While many of today’s stars—including Jennifer Lopez and Halle Berry—are praised for their youthful looks and gym-toned frames as women over the age of 50, the depiction of people in their age group was notably different three decades ago.

This became a topic of discussion on Monday when writer/director Jessica Ellis tweeted a screenshot of Steve Martin and Diane Keaton in the classic 1995 comedy Father of the Bride Part II, and wrote: “An unbelievable thing that has changed in 30 years is that in 1995, this was supposed to be what 45 year-olds looked like.”

“This photograph also explains why Millennials live with a sneaking suspicion we have never gotten our s*** together,” Ellis continued on the screenshot, which showed Martin with gray thinning hair, while Keaton sported a cardigan and pearls.

Ellis also added that pointed out that while a number of people commenting on her thread pointed out that Martin has had gray hair for decades, she insisted that it was “STYLING” in the movie, adding of Keaton’s character’s appearance: “The ‘ideal’ was to be a person in old lady twinsets and pearls by your 40s.”

At the time that the time was released, Martin was aged 50 while Keaton was 49. The screen stars, who played married couple George and Nina Banks in the movie, are now aged 77 and 76, respectively.

Eliis’ thread sparked a strong reaction from Twitter users, with one writing that it would explain “why we have no concept of age and why we think 40 is old.”

Sirena Bergman, digital culture editor at Insider, said that “there’s definitely something super weird about how tv and movies portrayed anyone older than 25 in the 90s which has absolutely f***** with my ability to gauge what certain ages typically look/feel/behave like.”

Another sought to explain the factors that has made age portrayal onscreen, tweeting: “People do look lots younger these days due to sunscreen, retinol etc but also just the way people dress. Watching old BBC clips is fun because there’ll be some elderly-looking woman in floral doily style but look closer and she’s about 50. If it were now, she’d be in active[wear].”

“Two 45 year old actors today yeah we live in a society,” commented another, who shared side-by-side photos of a comparatively youthful Andy Samberg and Jessica Chastain. While Chastain is 45, Samberg will not reach that age until August 2023.

Another Twitter user shared a photo of Golden Girls stars Betty White, Bea Arthur, Rue McClanahan, and Estelle Getty as they pointed out the ages of three of the characters when the show debuted back in 1985.

“Dorothy Zbornak [Arthur], Blanche Devereaux [McClanahan] and Rose Nylund [White] were supposed to be in their FIFTIES when the Golden Girls started,” they captioned the image.

While the entertainment industry has long been criticized for writing off its stars over a certain age—particularly women—Keaton has said that things have greatly improved over the decades.

In a 2015 interview with The Daily Beast, the screen star said that the expansion of TV channels and streaming platforms has afforded a “plethora of possibilities” for women.

“Regarding acting and the possibilities of anybody getting work, when you compare it to 20 years ago, it’s so much better,” she said. “There’s so much more availability in so many more venues, so there are more jobs.”

She continued: “Think about how many outlets we have for entertainment now with television having branched off to all these other networks, and then there’s whatever you see on your phone, with the YouTube and you name it.

“There’s a plethora of possibilities in comparison to when I was coming up. Back then, it was just the movies and some television shows.”
