Can someone explain to this layman how a start can form and explode within 630million years, while our star has existed for at least 4.5 billion years?

Different star, different mass, different gravity ~ happens all the time.

Hypergiant stars (100+ solar masses) have incredibly short lifespans (1 million years) compared to main sequence (our sun .. 1 solar mass and 10 billion years).

Stars are a delicate balance of elements.

Layman to layman... the larger the star the greater the gravitational force and the greater the reaction rate. They live a shorter, bright and active life...
