Tom Cruise and Aging Men

Submitted by Meg Wilson on November 5, 2007 - 08:43.

Jan Etherington provides a scathing look at how Tom Cruise (at age 45) is one of the Hollywood men who are aging sadly.

She's not only picking on him. Check out what she also has to say about Hugh Grant (47), Robert Redford (71) and Burt Reynolds (71). See Men Aging Badly.

Here's an excerpt;

What I think happens to these chaps is that they suddenly look in the mirror, at 50-plus, and think: “Crikey! What happened? Make me look young again!”

The result is that sudden and radical “wind tunnel” look – not so much youthful as utterly scary. Take the Douglases père et fils. Have Kirk and Michael really done themselves any favours in their desperate attempts to stay young? Those oddly wide, wrinkle-free eyes, the unnaturally smooth cheeks.

It’s not remotely sexy. In fact, it’s rather pathetic.

Actresses know better. Their careers are largely dependent on their looks and from early on, they take action, be it careful maintenance (facials, treatments, peels etc) or subtle surgical intervention. Meryl Streep (58), Michelle Pfeiffer (49) and Demi Moore (44) have taken care of their faces and now look fantastic.
