George Takei is 77, clearly an old man, but no one seems surprised by how "with it", humorous, and interesting he is. Why does Shatner get a double-standard?

77 or 83 is longer than any male in my family has lived that I know of. It seems to me that a lot of Hollywood types are under a lot of pressure to stay thin, stay good looking, etc and often go to the gym religiously and eat healthily. I imagine if we followed that model we'd all be that sharp and good-looking at that age.
