Hello, Hevtolo:
1. As far as I know, "become" is the verb:
Wow! Tom, you have become really old.
Hey! Have you seen Mona recently? She has become really old.
*****
2. I am a new member, too.
a. I have learned that the advisers here get very upset if you forget to capitalize the first letter and to ALWAYS capitalize
the pronoun "I."

We don't "go" old. We can become old, we can be old, we can get old and we grow old. "He has grown old" is more proper and idiomatic than "He has become old." Also, in America, the most usual way of putting that is, "He has gotten old", especially if we mean that he looks it.
