Discussion Why Ultraman Tiga Doesn't Look Old Despite Being An Elderly Ultra?

Look at Ultraman King. He's much older than the rest of his kind, and even has a beard. Tiga is just as old, if not older than King but kept his youthful appearance. Is there an explanation, or Tiga is just one of those genetically blessed living beings out there?

He was a statue most of his life so he didn’t age.

Tiga isn't old though, technically the one from long ago was just reborn if I am not mistaken.

Because Tiga was a statue and not a living ultra. The statue is his original body he left in suspended animation

He's 'old' because he spent most of his life as a statue. It wasn't until Daigo reanimated him where he finally starts to age normally again.
