Not really, TV age and real-life age are different. Bald men who weren’t old were rare on TV, they still are really. 47 is also young to be that fully bald. So, that made it seem like he was 60+ on TNG. It has also meant that in the decades since then, he hasn’t really seemed to age much.
He was only 47 when TNG first aired.
Something only someone in their 50s+ would say

As someone who just turned 47, he looked way older than I do and feel.
