& there is writing that Shakespeare's leading man Richard Burbage was required to trim/thin his beard for the role in order to look younger

This is writing done by John Fletcher, a contemporary of Shakespeare. I'll see if I can find an online version of my research text as source

The One Ring grants long life, so both bilbo and from are/were older than they looked. And Aragon is Numenorian, who lived long af too

Wrong way around. The kings son (Cannae remember his name) comes back and kills hamlet.

He's been the sexton since 30 years ago. Sorry. That's what I meant

i think the mis-translation is an better explanation for why he's still in school vs trying to justify why he's 30 and still in school

It makes more sense for him to be old though, since he's out of school and rose and gilde were his friends
