   Apparently, the concept of "makeup" escapes you.   
      
   And also, perhaps, that of "acting".   
      
   Part of the magic of movies is seeing actors (successfully) playing   
   characters you would never expect them to be able to.   
      
   Although I would agree it is easier to do this the other way around:   
   young actor, old character -- as in /Scrooge/, for example.   
      
   And, anyway, he could be a 63-year-old with a grade-school grandson.   
   You may be ignoring the way stories can change as the film is   
   developed.
