The Hands Of Time Can Be Cruel!

[nudeyorker]

These images came as attachments in an e-mail. While it made me sad on one level. I'm grateful for my genetic makeup and that I've lived a life of moderation.

 

[nudeyorker]

And a few more!

 

[nudeyorker]

The last few!

not just the hands of time but neglect and laziness and the good life I suppose

WOW! Be afraid!!! BE VERY AFRAID!!!!!!

Wow, i found the Val Kilmer pic the most saddening. I used to have a mega crush on him.

Gere and Brosnan have aged gracefully imo ,haha just a really bad shot of the double oh seven there.
I hope my husband ages like Will smith or Alec Baldwin.. They're still damn sexy

I don't see anything wrong with Russel Crowe, He's hot as hell.

My Dad says that the older he gets, the more gravity sux!

Looks like the hands of time really beat the shit outta them.... Call me, I have a great plastic surgeon....(Well maybe NOT that great)

These photos are a bit deceptive because the "after" shots are quite unflattering as they are all candid and the "before" photos are publicity shots, air brushed and doctored to make the actors look their best.

That said, it just goes to show you that remaining attractive is hard work!

There is no way to eliminate totally the effects of aging; some changes are inevitable. However, some of the changes shown in the photographs could have been prevented by exercise and a proper diet. It was obvious that some of those people had over-eaten and failed to get adequate exercise.

Aging gives you the right to just not give a fuck anymore... Be a couch potatoe, eat pasta and ice cream all day, dont moisturize. You've earned it, FUCK IT !!!!

So sad, and I agree, "the good life" takes its toll. One of the worst was Jan Michael Vincent. He USED to be a near perfect example of someone who oozed sex appeal. Alas, I'm glad my dreams and fantasies with him never came true...yech!

Aging apparently affects questionable swimwear decisions as well!

 

[SilverTrain]

Roger Moore is like 80. Come on.

And I agree that it's a bit unfair to juxtapose professional glamour shots (retouched in extremis) with candid shots from decades later (often retouched as well to highlight the negative features).

That said, Kilmer, dude, what happened?

 

[houtx48]

most of those guys are 60+ and 70+ years old what the hell do you expect?

 

[superbot]

I think in a way its a good thing.After all who really wants to be bothered continually trying to slam the door in the face of getting old? Much better to welcome him in with a smile and a cup of tea!!

 

[D_CountdeGrandePinja]

We all have the aging thing in common, naturally but what happened to
Brendan Fraser - he's got to be in his 40's?

 

[kyberneticka]

a few of these guys are just senior citizens now -- what do you expect from them?! Man, sometimes I really hate my own kind.

 

[Ren69]

Hahaha.
