Who's still Good Looking with Age

Judy Dench is amazing- no attempt at hiding her age but still mesmerising.
Re the shiny white teeth, they make me smile because in my youth many old people had shiny white teeth as they were false. Glossy white teeth after a certain age means dentures to me, not youthful beauty.

The Turkey teeth and Botox craze look absolutely ridiculous.
The bright white teeth look so unnatural , that’s not how nature intended teeth to look like , they can be so dazzling one need sunglasses to look at them . As for Botox , well , the pumped up lips look so unnatural and out of place on one’s face . I wish these people would take a good look in the mirror so they can see how ugly they really look . Oh…and don’t get me started on the ridiculously ever so long false nails ….ouch ….! …

I have been pointed out to people who express amazement when told my age as they consider I look much younger. I consider that rude and ill-mannered

That is not a boast, but a statement of fact and their reactions were based on their narrow minded stereotypes of what people at any given age should look like.

At the same age people can look immensely different depending on their genetic inheritance, life experience and health. Just accept people as they are and just stop feeling that you have to pin an age on everyone you see.

I think having a positive and warm personality really comes across, I don't really notice wrinkles etc.

I loved Smokie in the 70s - especially lead singer Chris Norman. He's 72 now, still going strong and looking really good. We saw him live just prior to covid and I felt like a teenager again.... grin

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 think Larry Lamb has, the ones I like have an interest in people and life, generally looked after themselves but naturally, can't understand howTom Jones and Priscilla Presley have spent so much money to look as they do, awful, it's sad that they haven't really seen what's in the mirror.. Never a fan of Germaine Greer but in old age she mellowed beautifully, remains interested and interesting, her hair and face just aged naturally and she looks great.

Brad Pitt has aged remarkably well, mind you I've always had a soft spot for his boyish charms.
I think Jeremy Irons and Bill Nighy still have the 'it' factor, and I'm a big fan of Helen Mirren depending on what she's wearing lol!

Sean Connery has aged well too.
Seeing as Sean Connery died three years ago I m not sure he’s looking so good
David Essex looks great
The Botox belles and Turkey teeth folk I m afraid look scary as they age they look pretty scary already (see Pricilla Presley)

George Clooney’s not doing so bad either! Men who are fortunate enough to retain a full head of hair often look younger. But hey, lumps bumps, wrinkles - they all tell a story, they’re real, genuine.

Notspaghetti I've been lucky to get to 71 and no wrinkles but I must take after my mum as she was the same. She worked till she was 80.
I often wonder what these botoxed young women will look like when they get older.

My good friend in her mid 60s looks no more than 50...

But what does aging well really mean?

I have aged reasonably well as I still have my faculties - and so does my 99 year old mother-in-law.

Just watched a Queen concert from 1986 and note how good looking Brian May is even now. Always thought Sean Connery has aged well too.
Michael Douglas was good looking when younger but looks a bit scary now. His dad Kirk was handsome when younger but really went weird looking when he was old.
Who do you think has aged well?
