Dave Gorman argues that physical adulthood, at least amongst celebrities, is almost non-existent. His argument stems from how modern celebrities do not have any of the perceived physical signs for adulthood. The signs for physical adulthood are:
- The cranium expands.
- The face shape becomes more oval and less round.
- The face shape broadens and lengthens, especially the lower half.
- The jaw becomes larger and more squared/angled.
- The amount of “baby fat” throughout the face reduces, resulting in more distinctive
features. - The cheekbones take on more prominence.
- The chin becomes more clearly defined.
- The eyes narrow.
- The eyes appear less “wide open”.
- The nose lengthens.
- The bridge of the nose rises.
- The mouth widens.
- (In males) More prominent brow ridges develop, resulting in deep set appearing eyes.
All in all, it is an interesting read that brings up some probing questions on what is happening to prevent people from growing to physical adulthood.
