Im looking for films that deal with the implications of not necessarily living forever, but looking young all your life.

I went to a new doctor a few years ago since my insurance changed, this was the first time I've seen him. I'm 33 years old but have always been told I look young, people always guess im 18-20. Anyway, this doctor didn't believe me at first (my old family doctor never said anything because he knew me since birth). Anyway, after seeing him for a few years, he was getting pretty strange everytime he saw me. Apparently after I gave blood a couple appointments ago, he had sent it elsewhere for further testing.

He went on to tell me that my telomeres behaved differently than other people. He said that all my internal organs including my brain had a different way of dividing than my skeletal and dermis/epidermis. After being referred to several specialists it was concluded that I would still age, but at less than half the normal rate. They predict that I will look like I'm 30 when im around 70-80 years ago and after that things would gradually begin to speed up aging. So, I'm basically coming to terms with this fucking strange shit, can hardly believe it myself, and anyone I tell just thinks im crazy and acts weird so i dont really tell anyone, and its beginning to get harder and harder to convince people I'm in my mid 30s.

Im looking for a film that deals with something similar and how to live like this, and implications etc.

I know a 67 year old guy who looks 20-25. He also has fair skin and extremely pointy and large fangs. As you might understand, everybody who knows him refers to him as either Dracula or Nosferatu.

Hey says the most annoying part about it is relationships since he finds it hard to connect to women who are actually in their 20s, while most older women are hesitant to go out with a man who looks like their son.

Don't smoke, don't drink, don't do drugs. Limit prescription medicines. Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight. Sleep a lot and eat healthy (more broccoli).

Being old must suck, it's like being young but the opposite

>>79335692
Being old isn't bad. What is bad is suffering due to poor decisions throughout your life catching up with you.

Oh and in response to your question.
It's not exactly a movie, but there are a series of books by Heinlein, about a character called Lazarus Long.
Essentially the character is a product of a breeding experiment, started by a man before he died at a young age, where they give incentives to people with four grandparents who lived a long time to breed with other similar individuals. The result being that Lazarus, in the first book, is a little over 200 years old, and the oldest living member of this project at the time.

I've enjoyed reading some of them, you may enjoy them too.
