Compared to other Directors and Actors at his age he looks a lot more older.

Everybody ages differently but in John's case it's probably mostly from cigarette smoking.

He's 68. That's pretty old in my book.

Because he still smokes. That ages you pretty badly.

He looked 60 when he was 35. My guess is because of his horrible smoking habit, which thankfully he quit recently.

He is old. Do not forget he is in his 70s'.
