George Clooney

What on earth has happened to the handsome Mr Clooney?

I’ve just seen the newest coffee advert and I genuinely didn’t recognise him. I thought it was a look a like actor.

I know everyone ages but it seems to have been a very rapid aging. Wonder if he’s been using a certain slimming drug.

What do you all think?

I must admit he didn't look as good as usual, still think he's gorgeous though!

Haven’t seen it yet but will report back. Tbh he is knocking on a bit now, like most of us.

He and Amal have 7 year old twins.
Being an older father is all very well and delightful but it must be very wearying .

Isn't it a bit of a spoof? Isn't he made up to look older? I assumed so. I'm probably wrong.

Screen captures from the latest Nespresso, The Detective, last year's The Bet and the 2016 Coen brothers' release Hail, Caesar! so made ten years ago.

I don't see a lot of difference. He'll be 64 in May.

Yes he has aged but he is still gorgeous George.

Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan and Hugh Laurie have too but they are all still lovely.

I thought the first pic was David Niven.

Looks just like him.

64 or so looks fine

I thought that as well.

Does look older though.

He's 63 years old.

Maybe he's just aging naturally like Robert Redford. smile

I've never been a particular fan of Mr Clooney but he is just probably looking older.
Your face gets" thinner as you get older and that's one of the things that ages you, " innit" ?
I know mine has.

Talking of ageing men, did anyone else think, like me, that Sir Paul McCartney ( on LK on Sunday morning, talking about copyright), looks far better for having let his hair go grey? I always thought he looked older when he went through that period of tinting his hair a murky brownish red.

Slightly off topic but I find older men who colour their hair a bit "off" unless it's done well.

A previous boss used to use his Grecian 2000 about once a month and it used to look like he'd spread shoe polish on his hair - awful!

Paul McC admitted colouring his grey hair for years and it never looked right either. I used to be crazy about him but that put me right off.

I think Gorgeous Goerge (Clooney) will always be gorgeous but agree he did look much older in the advert.

Wouldn't give you a penny lolly for looks. Luckily, Mr Clooney has a delightful personality and sharp wit. Thassall I need, bruv.

It's his voice that I like

Wyllow3 Thu 30-Jan-25 15:35:30

I think he was deliberately aged for that advert and it's good he doesnt give a *amn and true to character. He's got a keen sense of social issues as well as a GSOH, whats not to like.

Rusume Thu 30-Jan-25 21:00:07

OMG I've seen this ad a few times now and didn't even realise it was him!!! He does look much older!

When I first saw the add id just glanced up and for a fleeting second thought it was James Nesbitt.
I had to look really hard before I realised it was George Cloony and only then because I realised it was the coffee advert.
I’ve never really been a fan.
His face looked drawn and haggard.
I hope he isn’t ill.

Mt61 Fri 31-Jan-25 19:23:33

Apparently he suffers a lot from extreme pain due to a back injury during filming.
I think pain shows in a persons face

TillyTrotter Fri 31-Jan-25 19:42:43

He does look like David Niven, but it could be the ‘tash that does it.
