[LOTR-Hobbit] How come Gollum doesn't start aging faster after losing the ring?

In the lord of the rings, we clearly see that Bilbo starts aging really quickly as soon as he leaves the ring to Frodo, when the hobbits reach Rivendell, Bilbo is a lot «wrinklier». While in The Hobbit, Gollum appears the same as in the Lord of the rings even if he spent 60'ish years without the ring. So why isn't he getting older? (I'm strictly talking about the movies here)

Presumably because Gollum had the Ring longer the effects take longer to wear away.

This is a movie only explaination though.

In the book we get no reason to believe Bilbo rapidly aged and there is therefore no discrepancy.
