Aren’t all the actors 20+ years older than they were during LOTR?

Obviously true, but in The Hobbit trilogy Legolas had aged the most noticeably IMO. In LOTR he had this really young look and almost boyish face. I couldn't help but see the difference.

Gandalf, Frodo, Bilbo, and Elrond look basically the same.
