Although I think their problems stem from drug use/ mental health issues more than just ageing.

I dunno, IMHO Sinead has aged pretty well. To be fair she's pretty well preserved for a woman with four children in her mid 40's.

The Malcolm in the middle actor Frankie Muniz hasn't aged too well.

Bridgitte Bardot really didn't age well at all. IMHO certain faces don't. Mainly round young looking baby faces. When the first flush of youth goes it doesn't do them any favours. More angular faces seem to do much better. People who look older than their years at 20 tend to look better at 40. It might be why men tend to age slightly better so long as they don't pork up? Of current faces like that I predict yer wan"Penny" from The big bang theory will not age well.

Interesting theory, would the Malcolm in the middle actor fall into that category ( posted a pic on previous page). He was young and cute then it went downhill.

"Getting older looking" or even "Not looking 23 any more when not 23 any more" appears to constitute "Ageing badly" here.

Frankie Muniz, Courtney Cox - wtf?! They look grand!
Clearly some very young children here.
Edward Furlong still looks pretty babyfaced too for mid 30s, he's just put on a good bit of weight.

Sun damage seems to be more pronounced than smoking damage, from what I've seen. I'm telling ya, if you want to avoid premature wrinkles, stay out of the sun - it's worked a charm in my experience!

I actually think Courtney cox looks great for her age, as for Frankie Muniz, while he's not really ugly, I'd be fairly confident Malcolm in the middle will be the peak of his acting career. He just doesn't have the good/charming looks now and he's only in his mid twenties.

I think a strong jaw goes a long way to preserving looks.

Yea pretty much. Faces that are attractive precisely because they look young(round baby faces) don't look so good as the signs of age hit. Faces that are attractive without the young look tend to fair better. Men and women. IE Someone like Diane Keaton has aged very well, but she was never a "baby face". Staying the same weight (approx) makes a diff too. Nothing ages people quicker than piling on the pounds. Actually I'd say that ages men much more. It doesn't age women as quickly IMHO. Excess waist weight ages both though. With many people even relatively slim people, a certain kind of thicker waist tells you middle age even from behind. Skinny or even fat isn't nearly such an age signifier.

Dudess

I don't know, Wibbs. An overweight middle-aged person could look more youthful than a thin one, because of having a rounded, less wrinkled face.

Wibbs

True. I'd focus it more by saying there's a body shape in both men and women that screams middle aged.

Mickey Rourke, but thats more down to a boxing career and multiple facelifts. he was a handsome motherfcuker in his day.

I think Angelina Jolie looks feckin woeful nowadays, but that is primarily down to being too thin. women over a certain age shouldn't be super skinny, Teri Hatchet face is another example of this.

Agree so much on both counts.

Teri Hatcher and Angelina Jolie are both staggering beautiful women, but they both really need just a little extra weight. Just look at how beautiful they were with extra weight on their faces.

People get older and less attractive, it's a normal part of life! I don't think it's fair to show a pic of someone in their 50s/60s/70s and say "OMG they look terrible!"

When I read this thread I was thinking more along the lines of YOUNG people who look old beyond their years. Someone already mentioned Lindsay Lohan, she's a classic example.

Another one is Jordan. She's only 33 and has absolutely destroyed herself. I think she looks like someone in their 50s who's trying to look in their 20s.

Also, the entire cast of The Only way is Essex. I don't watch the show but I read about the girls in newspapers and magazines and am shocked at how young they are. They all look well into their 30s. e.g. Amy Childs - 21. Sam Faiers - 21. Lauren Goodger - 25. Billie Faiers - 22.

I know the irony, but that's the joy of advertising.

I agree with you on the baby-face thing, people of either gender that are extremely pretty in their youth go all wonky as they age whereas classic more handsome beauty looks great in later life.

Oh how could I forget! Courtney Stodden. The girl who, at 16, married 51 year old The Green Mile actor Doug Hutchison.

She's 17 now but she could easily pass for someone at least twice that age. She looks ridiculous. All "natural" too supposedly...

It's a thread about aging, it's remarkable for someone over 50 years old to look relatively unchanged from when they were in their twenties.

It's not really a fair comparison if the extensive work had already started on his face. Either way, he looked terrible when he died, if not old.

What's wrong with her? The first pic looked like an old one from Friends, so that's around mid-90's probably? And the second pic is from Scream 4 (or a premiere?) and that was last year.

She still looks good.

Back to Wibbs point about older looking faces when young. Quite right. Not so much cheekbones but length of face, have a big long face on ya and you will age well. The horsey look, starts out bad but ends up well. Best example is Hugh Laurie, a gormless looking fecker when young, a stud ( apparently) now. In his fifties. Weight matters too, since nearly all men become a bit doughy after 40, staying in shape past 40 makes you younger. That said the thin because you smoke, or do cocaine, look doesn't work. That looks unhealthy.

To the opponents of this thread - some people look better as they age. I think Connery did, harrison ford did until the was 60. Others. Mostly men, to be fair. WE all age, to age well is to look like an older version of your ( good looking) self rather than someone totally unrecognisable. Also its worth actually allowing yourself to age, and changing your style. Lose the dye past 40 something, if a guy. Keep the hair sharpish.

( I am 37 so thinking ahead).

Here is young Griff Rhyss Jones. And a hotter older version, he lost weight and gained definition in his face, and apparently a realistic tan. Normally middle aged men do the opposite, paler, greyer in face, weightier.

True, though she's had really bad health and weight fluctuations and heavy duty stress over the years. Amazing she's still going.

Maybe though a long face could well go the other way. The face keeps (very slowly)growing throughout life* so you could just as easily get Sarah Jessica Parker. Easier to carry off if you're a bloke mind you. I'd argue that Hugh Laurie was always a quietly handsome regular featured man(when he wasn't pulling silly faces). Age has made him more rugged and less bland.





*As one consequence eyes tend to look smaller over time. Look at G Clooney then and now. It worked out for him though. Made him more manly looking.

Drugs over time will really ravage your looks, especially cocaine

No way, I think she looks great for a woman in her mid fifties (I presume it's a very recent photo) - I'd be very happy to look like that when I'm that age.

Definitely a lot of misconceptoins here about aging v aging badly. And aging v dodgy surgeries.

Agree that weight will have a lot to do with a person staying young looking - not too thin (Angelina, Courntney) and not too fat. Don't smoke or go in the sun, don't do drugs and don't go under the knife - if you do all that then you'll probably age gracefully as nature intended (a little luck and good genes will put you above the curve, but nothing wrong with being on the curve too).

For a hottie that hasn't aged great, I'd say Cary Elwes then and now.
