    A portrait by a Northern Irish artist of Clinton was unveiled by the man himself. It's not absolutely clear what he thought of it but what did you think of it?

    I thought it made him look older and more haggard than he actually is.

    I wouldn't say Bill liked that. It looks like he's on deaths door in it. A true reflection...
    I look at the painting and imagine Bill saying:
    "Well Hillary. I think I'll just climb into this wooden box here and be done with it".

    He looks like he's glaring at an intern's ar*se as she's using the photocopier.

    Bill thinks to himself: "Dammit Bill you're fixing to get yourself in trouble again"

    Did he charge much for this appearance?

    It's beautifully painted, but it doesn't flatter him at all. It makes him look old and the looking downward makes him seem weak or timid - not very presidential.

    Its an incredible portrait but it does make him look aged and weak. Who is the artist - supertalented and possibly a genius satarist.... like the days of old celtic harpists and wandering Irish bard poets who you wouldn't get on the wrong side of or they would immortalise you in an unpleasant but truthful light. This is no country for old men...Who wants to be old and haggard and weak

    But that is how he looks. Its the artists impression of him. He can present any idea in any way he likes. The subject doesn't have to like it.

    Plus it's weird but i noticed something with Clinton when he was no longer president ..he shrunk ....he seemed shorter ..less presence. I have no idea why.

    Obama didn't he seems exactly the same.

    In the second photo in the second post his shoulders are slumped and he looks very thin. He hasn't looked great for a while. the portrait is quite accurate.

    Yes but this was just after his presidency that i noticed this. Just after actually when he still looked hale.

    He lost the X factor?

    Oh he has definitely lost that. Though he is 72.

    He looks about 90 in the portrait, old and very frail. At the unveiling he was way fresher than his portrait showed him to be.

    Ah not so bad then. I thought I heard he was known for charging large fees just for appearing. Though maybe it is only Charities and other Not For Profit groups he targets for that?

    It might be an accurate reflection of his physical decline, but if I was painting him, I'd be trying to capture some of his personality and sparkle - a glint in his eye, or something. Unless he has lost he personality too - hopefully not. :(

    I think I read somewhere he went vegan a few years back, so that might account for the weightloss.

    I would speculate that the multitude of coronary problems which preceded the veganism was more likely the cause

    Id agree tbh - yer man allegedly changed his diet (sic) around the time the Billionaire Stordalens (IYF animals rights / plant food activists) paid Bill Clinton 3.5m Norwegian Krone to speak at one of their conferences

    Looks like he is doing little more the usual 'vegan' bandwagon thing tbh

    There's sort of an orange tint to his skin recently. What's that about?

    Not sure but I'd reckon from the colour of the nose he must be hitting the top shelf fairly regularly tbh ...

    He visited the set of Willy Wonka recently and stole the everlasting knobsucker from an Oompa Loompa.
