Who's still Good Looking with Age

I was amazed to read that Bryan Ferry came from the poorest of backgrounds. I always thought of him as borderline aristocracy.

I agree GSM that Helen Mirren looks witchy with her long hair. She looked much more attractive with a shorter style.

My elderly 103 year old mother still looks nice for her age! She won’t admit to being 103 at all. Age is just a number Had her hair cut and dyed last week! A good sense of humour has helped and a happy disposition

Joanna Lumley

I love Chris from Smokie too but he has had procedure's it's not natural, but who cares

I recently saw a photo of Michael Aspell in the Times and he looks great, amazingly the same, although over 90. The ones I think age badly are those who have had ‘work’ done. Robert Redford has clearly had various eye lifts and fillers and sadly looks grotesque now. Joe Biden, similarly, has had eye bags removed and now the top of his face looks very odd. Like RR, he was also handsome in his youth and so probably quite vain.

I don’t think Tom Jones looks so artificial BUT the poor old boy can hardly walk he holds onto things and walks very slowly and you can tell he is gritting his teeth to get from a to b
instead of pretending he’s still 18 why not use a stick, he still thinks he’s a sex bomb
Is he still with Pricilla P or did that fizzle out ?

I don't think Tom looks particularly artificial but the one thing that does impress me is he has still kept his voice. Some of the older ones kept singing when they really shouldn't have, Frank Sinatra for instance.

Paul McCarthy is aging well and looks much better since he stopped dying his hair that weird auburn colour.

I also thought David Bowie aged well. He was 69 (I think) when he died.

IMO, any man who retains his hair and/or becomes a silver fox has a definite advantage over a bald man. Yes, I know it is something that men have no control over - other than having a transplant.

Joanna Lumley looks fabulous. However, I was watching her in a series on Netflix (Fool me Once) and she is very wrinkly close up.

Goldie Hawn always looks well but there is a huge difference in her smiley face and her 'resting face'. A smile goes a long way.

Meryl Streep also looks great but I think she must have had some very subtle surgery over the years.

On the other hand, Madonna looks quite scary these days.

Many years ago I would be really embarrassed and upset when people told me how young I looked. I was always being refused alcohol in pubs and restaurants and people used to think my son was my little brother. Nowadays....if only!

Same here! www.instagram.com/p/C1odo92N_VV/ I'm 58 but could pass as a lot older!

I think personality and a good sense of humour is far more important than looks but I fully agree with the all the over-the-top white teeth that can blind you from a mile off and the turkey teeth! Pricilla Presley, Madonna and various others look terrifying. I was never a Presley's fan and never will be but she was quite beautiful before the surgery made her look like something from a horror movie!

Alfre Woodard is in her 60s and looks gorgeous, Barbra Streisand, Bruce Willis, Cindy Crawford, Jane Seymour is 72 but looks 42, Jon Bon Jovi, Meryl Streep, Olivia Newton-John, Sally Field, Jaclyn Smith to name a few.

Tom Hanks. I think he’s much better looking now than when he was younger. And Judi Dench of course-she’s gorgeous. Both of them seem to be decent people, so maybe it’s their kind nature shining out of them.

To develop or keep your vocal cords working well, you need to chew and swallow regularly, if you don't chew a lot on food you are likely to lose your voice or at least get a trembling one. The speech therapist explained this when my husband had a stroke and sadly couldn't swallow normal food.

Sharon Osborne has had work, but it seems to suit her!

I have lots of facial scars having been in a very severe car crash in my 30ish. They all now look like deep wrinkles so has made me age prematurely. People always think I am much older than I'm and do not hesitate to show me their surprise either.

As I have got older I have found that women have got more attractive as they get older, not just physically but also mentally, also older females I find have more mystique and more stimulating in conversation, this is just my opinion as a male and I don’t know if this works the other way round. I hope so.

I always get told I don’t look no where near my age I can’t see it my self lol I think I look old my youngest son mil is 10yrs older than me but she looks old but she is a heavy smoker and drinks every night. I also don’t get these glow in dark teeth or sticking needles in your face to look like a plastic doll. I know each to their own but they don’t know what the long term effects are going to be. I did see on news reports that they said younger generations are aging with it so it looks like it’s going to have affects opposite to what they aiming for.

Gosh! I totally disagree.

I saw a recent film with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, both in their 80's I think, and she looked pretty good though he was a bit crumpled - but so what? Does it matter?
I suppose it depends what you mean by aging well, I would prefer to see somebody looking human to somebody obviously filled, stretched and botoxed into a terrifying caricature of the person they used to be.

I speak as someone who has aged a lot in the past few years. Until I was in my mid sixties I was always told that I looked much younger, but am not overly bothered to be looking my age now.

Ageing well (to me) means you are happy in your own skin, can move about a bit, and still have joy in your life sometimes.

I don't give a monkey's what I look like!

I thought this thread was mainly about appearance. I think aging well means still looking attractive and embracing wrinkles, grey hair or other changes. It also means not being too thin (eg Sharon Osborn) or overweight. Clint Eastwood is another formerly very handsome man who now is hard to look at, IMO.

Judi Dench looks great and has retained a wonderful, mischievous sense of humour

I think Rod Steward seems not to age at all - saw him with Jools Holland in Hootenanny. Not that I want to look like do-you-think-I'm-sexy Rod, but still admit he has good genes 😅 Me? I'm 65 and often get complimented I look younger. Not sure if that's true but I feel good, am healthy and happy, and I think that shows 😊

Sparklefizz so do I I think Sharon Osbourne looks dreadful as does her husband
