Denethor, released from his torpor that had gripped him on awakening, had risen, looking towards the east that drew him, like a candle draws a moth.
This was the Denethor who was now freed of having to worry about his people, who was free, at last, to solve the problems which had plagued him.

Or is it because Aragorn was raised in Rivendell?
denethor was weakened by the palantiri and, of course, the current state of gondor.
So Denethor would be in his 70s and Aragorn would be in his 70s to, but I guess since he has a little bit of immotality in him it seems like he is a 30/35/40 year old man.

For another, Denethor was reduced to a raving maniac, instead of a shrewd military leader who was quite capable in his stewardship and had the defenses of Minas Tirith well in hand.
In fact, Denethor had a very good idea who Aragorn was, since Aragorn had served his father in disguise under the name of Thorongil, preparing Gondor as best he could against potential allies of Sauron.
'Denethor II was a proud man, tall, valiant, and more kingly than any man that had appeared in Gondor for many lives of men; and he was wise also, and far-sighted, and learned in lore.

John Noble, the well-known actor who portrayed Lord Denethor in two “Lord of the Rings” films, spoke recently with The Dove Foundation, just days before and again shortly after the premiere of his latest movie, “One Night with the King,” a film based on the story of Queen Esther in the Bible.
When we complimented them on their respective acting jobs in the film, they chimed in, “It was fun.” Of course the premise of the film, a bully challenging another kid named Billy to eat live worms is something most boys would enjoy.
One of the first thoughts regarding a movie that is based on a true story is: “What parts of the movie are real, and which are made up?” Director/writer Scott Derrickson answers that question for his recent release “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”.
