Aragorn the equivalent of a 38 year-old. And Viggo is 45, so I think he is a pretty good fit age-wise.

But Viggo is a 20th Century 45-year-old. I'm thinking his looks wouldn't be so clean nor his skin so fair if he were the kind of man to spend his life seeing the world on foot the way Strider did. But, like I said, the movies never suggest he did any such thing, so yours and Hair's assessments are certainly reasonable.

Yes, but I don't think too many baths may have been taken in ancient times, so from that point of view, all the characters, except the ones in the Prancing Pony, may have been too clean.
