I caught a bit of the SOTU which had high-definition closeups of Joe. He just does look like a younger (40s) guy made up expertly with makeup (especially with how good we know makeup can be these days, not to mention AI). A lot could be explained away with plastic surgery, as far as he fact that he just looks like a different person facially than the old Joe. But there's the impression that his stature, how he holds himself - things I can't really put my finger on - don't pass the intuition test. And especially his legs - he someone still looks young and nimble even when falling down stairs or off a bicycle - his legs don't look like an 80 year olds to me - they look fairly strong. Those things you can't fake. It's hard to make a younger person resemble an 80-year old in gait and stature. He looks more like a 45-year old faking being a frail 80-year old than a frail 80-year old, to me.
