Ah, no.
Must be a language thing.
Here getting old connotes getting feeble, more medical issues, twilight years, feeling invisible, etc etc.
On the other hand, being responsible happens at many different ages for different people and means being responsible for your own actions.
Here "old" is the last thing anyone wants to be and there are fortunes made attempting to stop/slow down the process.
If you asked someone on the street, "when did you get old", they'd probably slap you.
Perhaps the most intriguing question is "at what age did you get wise, attain wisdom"?
