How is this guy 16? He looks about 40.

He's northern English

I look younger than him and I’m more than twice his age.

I remember a classmate in highschool that looked about 35. Some people are just like that. This is definitely an extreme example though. I kept thinking that the teenager must be up next.

R1 do you mean bad genetics or around a lot of alcohol and cigarette smoke?

The other guy is 56 and they don’t look too far apart in age.

R4, yes.

He looks 16 to me.

"Every dart thrown will age you a week, but you will be unbeatable at the pub."

Are you sure about the age? He has to be at least in his mid thirties.

Is he Millie Bobby Brown's brother?

R9 here he was back in 2021 when he was 14. He looks 34 here.

Perhaps he has some mild form of the disease that makes kids look like old people.

Indeed, a heavy beard/mustache and already balding at 14?? Something's going on there hormonally, i think.

He looks like he has experience

R12 it’s called British genetics , nothing more tragic. I suffer from a mild form myself.

He’s white. This is common. I’m not seeing the shock or surprise.

He can buy booze for his friends.

When I was in elementary school, there was a guy who hit and finished puberty by 5th grade - he was the tallest kid in class by a huge margin.

Unfortunately, when the rest of us hit puberty in high school, we all became taller. He was about 5'4" at most, but a giant among 5th graders.

There is a lot of messed up stuff happening these days with kids and all the hormones and chemicals in food and the environment. Girls are starting their periods as young as 8 years old now. It's a bit gross and disturbing.

All of you are horrible, he can't help that he was born on the 29th of February.

lol r18

He's age-fluid. He's 35, but when he filled out the registration forms to participate, he put down 16 because he felt like a 16 year old. No one dared question him, because you don't want to 'age shame' anyone. So if he says he's 16 - he's 16. End of story.

[quote]Perhaps he has some mild form of the disease that makes kids look like old people.

Maybe they'll make a Broadway musical about him, too.

There are guys I went to high school with who look like they could be my Dad

R20 is correct. This is a case of "identifies as 16."

R155 Nonsense. I'm white and when I was age 30 at bars and clubs I would go to the bouncers and bartenders still assumed I was in high school and some claimed my ID was fake. This guy is the other end of that spectrum where he looks significantly older than he actually is.

He also has that Haley Joel Osment thing going on where his face is about half the size you would expect for the dimensions of his head.

r15 i'm white and cashiers still don't believe i'm 21, i've been accused of having fake id. it's hard being 32 and beautiful.

Oh wow! That horrifying

Gen Z is already looking older than Millennials.

This is a real thing!

Look it up on TikTok.

[quote]He looks 16 to me.

I agree!

He sho is ugly!

My great-grandfather was 6'3" at 13 and that was in 1869. His adult height was 6'5".

There have been raised eyebrows today about 16 year old Luke having a 21 year old girlfriend.

Well, that’s okay if the guy is younger.

Not sure what happened but I just posted the above link. What I wrote was that he was just on TV chatting about tonight’s game and he definitely looks more his age than in pics. He is fat and that often makes people look older.

I posted the ling above as an example.

Dog years

R34 that’s Luke Humphries who is 28. This thread is about Luke Litter.

R34 Yes I know it is, I’ve read every post on this short thread.. I was just saying that being fat often makes people look older, and I used another young darts player who was fat as an example. He has recently lost 4 stone and now looks much younger for it.

He’s got the Millie Bobby Brown syndrome.

R39 my apologies.

Humphries looks good now.

He's ugly as shit& has a huge head and he's Fat.

Looks "Special"

His hair is all combed forward to hide his baldness. At 16?! Bizarre.

Exactly what i was saying upthread, r44, at r12.

Combing over at 16???

Hard pass

Speaking as a former fat kid, it’s not healthy for a teenager to have a pot belly. That’s what a diet of crap food (sweaty kebabs) and little full body exercise will do; he may have a great arm for throwing darts, but thats not going to do him much good if he keels over because of his waistline…

It took me many years to loose the flab I had been carrying around since my teenage years and while I am no pinup, I am in better shape in my mid 50’s than I have ever been.

Good on you, LondonT! I bet you look great.

I am genuinely curious to see what he's going to look like at 27!

R48 - yeah, it’ll be interesting to see him flourish as a professional player. And whether he follows his opponent’s example re: trimming the bulk…

I was thinking the exact same thing, OP. I thought the articles about him had it wrong by a decade, but even for 26, that would be a hard-looking 26.

But.. British genes.....

R24 same happens to me ALL THE TIME — I got carded just last week!
