...and wake him after a decade or two, assuming it is scientifically possible, will he be aged by that time?

Does the chicken in your freeze age despite being frozen?
Of course they will be aged, but the rate of decay (DNA replication failures, telomer shortening, etc) will have been dramatically reduced, so they will have 'aged' less.
Of course all current methods result in much more cellular damage than is saved by such techniques.

All the cells in the body would be in a state of suspended animation. There would be no brain activity. It would be like waking after a night's sleep and you would show no signs of ageing.

In theory as you've stated, as everything would be frozen then no, close your eyes then wake up a decade later in an instant.............

The theory of suspended animation is that you slow down the body's internal clock. It doesn't stop, though - your hair would continue to grow, for example, just more slowly.

At absoulute zero there would be no ageing, anything above that would cause you to age a little but still you would age.

No, aging is a biological process and when he is frozen and thus in hibernation, he will not age.

Ask Walt Disney and see how he looks

No cos everything is frozen still. theoretically you should be the same!

as soon as you freze him he dies because the water in his cells causes them to burst
