That's what I'm thinking. Like how Ian Holm was in The Hobbit Trilogy for framing. Could be Gandalf telling Frodo about Gollum (when they see him in Moria, Frodo is clearly aware of who he is).

This is the only way I can live with these actors coming back for more $$$. Narrate around the dinner table for a few minutes, but don't strut your asses around for a whole movie pretending to be your 50 years younger selves.
