Bilbo and Aragorn - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was studying the timeline in the appendix of LotR when I realized something, BILBO IS OLDER THAN ARAGORN! In the movie it looks like Aragorn is older, I guess somebody didn't do their homework, although I must say, I like the concept of Aragorn being older much better.

I thought Bilbo looked much older that Aragorn in the movie, as he should do.

what are you talking about of course bilbo is older than Aragorn ! Bilbo is 111 years old and Aragorn is only 80 years (being of the race of Numenor) but prehaps you made a mistake and you meant Frodo is older than aragorn but he's not!!!! I hope I don't insult you but I really don't understand what you mean!

Bilbo's aging was halted by the ring, so he still looked 50, before he gave it up. His ageing may have accelerated after that. Aragorn still looked quite good for a 85 year old.
