Steve Martin Was 42?!

He looks 52 or older in this. Hell he looked 52 when he was 32. Did he ever mention when and why all
his hair turned gray so early in life?

The ironic thing at the time of this filming is John Candy was the married one with kids and Steve Martin was single until after this was filmed. He never had a kid until he was like 70. He’s mid 70s now chasing around a friggin 4 yr old.

Yeah. He always looked fairly old. He was only 45 when doing father of the Bride and looks much older.

He's just like Lee Marvin. Marvin was also prematurely grey haired and he was also only 42 in the movie Point Blank where he looks at least 55.

His uptight demeanor, gray hair, and old fogey outfit made him seem older

Just saw it tonight and thought exactly the same.
Is it the silver hair?
