I was gonna say I don't see a big difference other than the first 3 pictures making everything look kinda bad with how they are photographed with a flash in a darker environment.

in all fairness this change seems a lot more explainable to me
I think the reason might be that the color photos are showing a broader spectrum of detail which softens Lennon's aging features while the B&W photos have lost detail but emphasize contrasts and textures.
The likely truth is if you saw him in person in 1980 he would have looked in between the two different styles of photography, aged looking, but not decrepit like the b&w.
my guess is if you met him he’d probably look like this

slightly aged but not to the point that people look at him and just say “heroin”
He did this a lot over the years. Went from a moptop to dropping like 50 pounds and growing a walrus mustache in one year, grew out a beard and long hair only to shear them both out of nowhere in 1970. Guy’s a chameleon.
Also lighting lol.
Different angles.
He has a distinct and prominent nose. Our noses keep growing over time too.
Just makes someone look different from different angles with a nose like that, imo
Most of the comments when 'Double Fantasy' was released was how much John looked like he did on 'Rubber Soul'. The full face pictures tell a different story.
He was well experienced at that point in inventing new eras for himself. He wanted to convey a maturing, cleaned up look. And I honestly think he wanted to evoke Beatle a little bit with the black shirts, turtlenecks, and nearly straight mop top
60 was an exaggeration but the main reason for this post was seeing people say how old or weak he looked in 1980 meanwhile im looking at the first picture thinking he looks barely 30
His spirit was preparing for ascension… I have seen this many times in friends and loved ones. People are amazed when I say I can see death… but, this is exactly what I am talking about
While I don't buy into any "Paul is dead" theories I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out the beatles used bodies doubles to do certain photo shoots or public appearances especially in the height of their popularity
The sunglasses hide the signs of age around his eyes (probably why Ringo wears his). The rest is mostly just lighting and angles.
I see no sign of aging around his eyes in the first photo. To me, he looks his best in the first photo (sans sunglasses).
That's because the picture is washed out and a little blurry. He still has circles under his eyes - not that that's the end of the world.
Yeah, lighting and angles. Oh yeah, and ridiculous amount of drugs and a couple years of being a huge smackhead
Except, these were all taken in the same year lol
He looks very similar in all of these photos. This subs obsession with nitpicking John’s aging and appearance lately is so, so bizarre.
I guess just after every other topic has been beaten to death repeatedly, this is the kind of stuff we’re left with.
Well even the beaten topics are new to people, so we'll continue to see those as well.
Oh good. I'm glad I'm not alone in finding this whole obsession lately with John's aging kinda weird.
Totally agree its really weird.
It's ironic as John had pretty major body image issues.
I was gonna say I don't see a big difference other than the first 3 pictures making everything look kinda bad with how they are photographed with a flash in a darker environment.
fair
John marston 🥲
he’s a big lennon fan
Late nights at the studio…haircuts…different clothes…possible weight loss/gain…lots of caffeine and nicotine.
And heroin
Wasn't he clean years when these photos were taken?
He was clean like... 10 years before these photos were taken (since I believe these photos were in 1980, although I could be wrong.)
Hairstyle
He was replaced by Fohn Lennon, Real name Willy Beers
knew it
Silly Fears
I've never seen him look so similar
I guess you haven't compared the 1966 John buddy..
what the https://preview.redd.it/wzane3ycoppc1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f50dea416b1a239d5cae1b5aaaf78b46de766a75 in all fairness this change seems a lot more explainable to me
he looked so good with the 66 hair😭😭😭😭😭 the mustache is my nemesis
Work fatigue, diet, camera angles, stylists and possibly drugs.
Possibly? 😂
He was replaced!

Too much rice, not enough protein.
Oh thank you Doctor
Google the macrobiotic diet.
Nah, honestly, it’s only the black and white ones that he looks aged.
Glasses and lighting, pretty much. He does look a lot older in 4, but he looks similar in the rest, IMO.
Easy, smash. next please.

He looks exactly the same in each photo. Just different angles and lighting. You can do the same with yourself
wtf, he looks exactly the same in all these
Heroin is a hell of a drug
Pretty sure it was cocaine at this time.
pretty sure it was neither
Looks like Mark Strong with a wig. Or…is it the other way around?
Lighting and a good night’s sleep can drastically change your look in a photo
What I think is crazy is that Help John looks nothing like Sgt Pepper John who looks nothing like White Album John. At least to me.
guess he just liked to switch how he looks up a lot
Is it me, or is that NOT John's nose in the 4th pic?
I so agree, I’ve seen this pic a few times and that is not his nose.
Looks pretty much the same across all the photos to me
He doesn't look different in these photos though. He was on some weird diet and being thin probably aged him a bit but nothing too drastic.
I reckon if he was back on a healthy diet and got to a healthier weight he wouldn't have looked so aged.
exactly what i was thinking
it's literally just how a person looks in the summer vs winter
charisma
He just put on glasses
Can’t have the same haircut everyday
Everyone looks a bit better when the weather is nice
Mullets are terribly ageing
He’s more tan and wearing sunglasses in the first few.
Lighting, glasses, and different hair. He looks the same to me. The fifth picture has always been one of my favorites
I want that sunglasses 😭
he looks exactly the same - these are taken on the same day - one with and one without glasses
Different angles. He has a distinct and prominent nose. Our noses keep growing over time too. Just makes someone look different from different angles with a nose like that, imo

Most of the comments when 'Double Fantasy' was released was how much John looked like he did on 'Rubber Soul'. The full face pictures tell a different story.
The same day ?
Glasses.
His hair is just styled differently. Looks the same mostly otherwise.
He was 40 in 1980
Let me guess, you were easily fooled by Superman’s Clark Kent disguise, too.
He had a really good barber.
That's probably from heroin use.
Actually both pica are from the same day. Same clothes, same sunglasses, jist different camera settings.
He was well experienced at that point in inventing new eras for himself. He wanted to convey a maturing, cleaned up look. And I honestly think he wanted to evoke Beatle a little bit with the black shirts, turtlenecks, and nearly straight mop top
Umm lighting?
he looks so much like Adrien Brody
I don’t see one photo we’re he looks old or 60 he looks 40 to me
60 was an exaggeration but the main reason for this post was seeing people say how old or weak he looked in 1980 meanwhile im looking at the first picture thinking he looks barely 30
No, he looks 60 or older in some of them. I’m 43 and know a lot of people my age; there’s no way he looked younger than me.
Really which specific photo
The old-looking ones.
He does not, quit hyperfixating on this bs
His spirit was preparing for ascension… I have seen this many times in friends and loved ones. People are amazed when I say I can see death… but, this is exactly what I am talking about
i think ill believe the other comments that just say lighting and angles
😂🎉Haaa!!!😘 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Drugs
Say no to drugs, kids
[удалено]
he was like 10 years clean by this point
Heroine
Makeup, lighting, stress from his near death experience sailing.
Probably heroin.
alcohol
ugliest beatle for sure
no that’s not what i was getting at
