[LOTR TV and Film] why do some elves look older than others?

Elves are all immortal right? Why do some show more signs of aging than others? Especially when the elf that looks 50 is 2000 years old and the elf that looks 20 is 5000 years old?



Meta: is it ok to talk about a LOTR cinematic universe? And is rings of power the same canon as the films?

Same way some humans look older then others, even if they aren't. Look at a group of 30 year olds and you'll have people who can pass for 20s all the way up to people you'd peg at 40ish, with poor people being even further outliers, still being ID'd in the 40s or mistaken for grown adults in their teens.

Presumably same still applies here. They're all the same age, but that doesn't necessarily mean they all look the same age.
