    I saw a picture of Kate Moss recently and you could see age and chain smoking taking it's hold. A shame really but time waits for no person.

    Liam Gallagher was a good looking boy in his day but now he looks really 'square' and past it, the buzzcut greying hairstyle does him no favours. He's 40 something but looks like he's in his 50s.

    Not me.

    I have never smoked. I look a few years younger than I am. (according to others)

    Lost mine earlier, but found them down the back of the sofa.

    Highly relieved I was.

    I still have the look of love

    If you judge a book by the cover
    Then you judge the look by the lover
    I hope you'll soon recover
    Me, I go from one extreme to another

    People age differently though, maybe if you don't abuse your body you might hold on longer. I was looking at the the last photo taken of Lauren Bacall today and she still looked like a classy broad at 89 years of age.

    Jesus, Mickey Rourke looked like that once?! Phwoaaaar!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭The Peanut


    The Val Kilmer one is funny. It looks like the same make-up used for Fat Monica in Friends.

    Jesus lost his looks? To be fair, you wouldn't be looking your best either if they scourged you at a pillar and nailed you to a cross.....

    Yup. Well classical beauty anyway. Real beauty is in deep , unfortunately so is real ugliness. Beauty is my strength is a mantra of mine. Usually people think I am referring to my looks. I'm not I am referring to my character.

    They probably know they'll still get 10 times more offers than any of us no matter how they look so just elect to enjoy the partying.

    So your one of those "ugly on the outside, but beautiful on the inside" types?

    You can't motorboat an inner sense of strength though.

    Lars Ulrich from Metallica, he's aged about 80 years in the last 10, He now looks like a hobbit of some sort.

    Yea, though if Kilmer had laid off the pies he'd still look much the same. Rourke went on for some dodgy plastic surgery for some odd reason and that really screwed him.

    People age differently that's for sure. Even taking bad habits like drinking and smoking into it. Genes I suppose. Facial structure another one. Some faces look great when young but age up more quickly. More angular faces seem to weather the years better. Chubbier faces less so. It can be just dumb luck too. I recently saw Ringo Starr being interviewed and he does not look like a man in his 70's. He's older than the rest of the Beatles and older than any of the Rolling stones, yet looks less decrepit(McCartney while still a fit man looks much more his age). Yet he was a sickly child, hardly blessed with good looks in the first place and was a raging alcoholic and chain smoker for most of his adult life. 60 a day with 2 bottles of brandy a day as a chaser. On a good day.

    Dark skinned folks age slower too. Black don't crack. Built in sunblock is a major advantage in skin aging. Denzel Washington is a 60 year old FFS, as is Dave Bowies missus Iman.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    In fairness, he also had some super effective rejuvenating cream.

    For posterity, I think ever man and woman should keep a photo of themselves in their peak.
