When Ubisoft debuted its new Splinter Cell: Conviction a couple of weeks ago, we marveled at Sam Fisher's youthful appearance. Turns out the action star's in his 50s.

Old enough to be your dad, but perhaps too young to qualify for Denny's senior citizen menu.

Vg247 reports that one of the game's developers confirmed that Conviction features an older Fisher. This, despite his buff physique and nimble abilities. In one scene, we watched as he walked outside of a building and moved from ledge to ledge hundreds of feet in the air. This, despite any noticeable joint pain. If anything, he moves faster than ever.

We can only hope that 20 years from now (less for some unlucky staffers), we look and move that good in our 50s. As for Splinter Cell: Conviction, look for it this fall on both Xbox 360 and PC.
