The Real Life section is ridiculous. In fact, it rather suggests that "older than they look" isn't a trope at all, just a consequence of any of several tropes - or, as in the case of Real Life, just a thing that happens unconnected with any trope at all.

Cut real-life examples, add "No Real Life Examples Please" disclaimer to description, wipe hand on pants.

Should we really have Real Life examples about this trope. There are lots of people on that list, whose age constantly needs to be changed as time goes by. Updating everyone's age each passing day seems like a chore, since most people are given specific ages like 24, 37 as oppose to age groups like 30s, 40s, 50s etc. Real Life examples my not be contoversal given the nature of the trope, but some of the people might be debatable on their appearance, and Real Life examples really come off as unnecassary.
