How much younger should Bilbo appear?

If they get Ian Holm to the part of Bilbo I'm quite happy to see him at any age imaginable...
To be more honest I think Bilbo should not lok too much younger than he was in the LotR as it is said the ring kept him young.
Thinking of the timeframe between the Hobbit and the LotR and scaling it with the lifespan of the elves or maia it looks simple that the time passed between the two works will be insignificant to the ageing of the main characters.

For my part, I was always disappointed in the PJ trilogy that Galadriel, who is thousands of years older than Elrond, and is his mother in law to boot, looked so much younger than him. Didn't she get even one wrinkle, one grey hair worrying about her daughter?

Good point! And how was it possible she was married to that young "dough-face" as her one love?
