Well, I say it's just good genes and nutrition.
However if he still looks like that 100 years from now, then we may need to have a conversation...

He feels thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.
Oh! This is a Bilbo right? I need to read the books again, been too long
Yes, Bilbo describing how it feels to have ones life elongated by the ring without knowing that the ring is doing it
Never forget that Hollywood stars have access to the most expensive & exclusive skin care, trainers, health care, & even plastic surgery, the likes of which we grimy little Proudfeet will never even hear of. Check Cate B out too, she hasn’t aged an hour
ProudFOOTS!
He's under 50, hardly a lad in Hobbit years.
Not even as old as book Frodo going on his adventure
I mean he was a kid when he was hired to play Frodo. He seems relatively young cause he still is
Yeah he was 19 iirc
18 when cast I think. Born in 81, casting was in 99.
I loved radio flyer and the good son
Radio Flyer was something when I watched it as a kid. Came for the flying wagon, stayed for chuck chuck bo buck, and was impacted emotionally by the abuse along the way. Some flick.
Don't forget North!
Did y'all forget that Frodo went to the Undying Lands? He only visits for work.
Edit: it seems I've forgotten... he'd still age in the Undying Lands.
This confirms he is a Dark Lord then, and must have purposefully sought to infiltrate Valinor. I don't dare to guess his intentions...
Doesn't he go to Valinor to die though? He doesn't live forever just because he was a ringbearer, he went for some healing and respite before moving on to the Doom of Hobbits. I always thought the Quest and the Wound caused him to 'die' young, he never healed, he left for Valinor, had a nice peaceful nap in Elvenlands, and died happy.
and died
Oh. Not really the "undying lands" then, is it?
It is for Elves, not Hobbits or Men, which is why it was such a big deal he even got invited to chill.
It is for Elves
Aren't elves already immortal?
Damn, he's 43, so I guess 39 in that image.
Yeh this feels a bit of a stretch for someone aging from early 20s to early 40s. A, some people have good genes. B, we tend to notice men’s aging with less weight(ymmv culturally). And, C he’s a millionaire movie star with access to the healthcare that comes with.
D, both pictures are edited/airbrushed.
I had the biggest crush on him growing up. Stupid sexy hobbitses
Hasn't aged a day: 
He'll likely be restless by his 111th birthday.
That isn't the effect it had on Gollum.
That's over 500 years, though, no?
Yeah even Bilbo looked virtually unchanged for the first 60 years or so.
I'm very very slightly younger than him and aged the same way. My beard grew in better as I got older and I got a better haircut, but other than a few grey hairs in the beard, a couple of extra pounds, and a slightly changed hairline I'm really similar to the kid in the picture from my boot camp graduation. I expect that to change pretty hard in the next couple of years when all my drinking and hedonism finally catches up to me.
Yut. Feel like drinking is damaging enough, but then getting up (or just remaining up) to PT the next day is also probably not very good for you. But it was what had to be done.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
