Doesn't he? I just saw a trailer for Bridget Jones baby and he looked so old in it! Or is just me?

Does he? He's nearly 55. I think he looks like a 55 year old in good shape.

Actually, come to think of it, he's probably nearly 56.

Just shocked.... He looks much older than the last time I saw him in anything.

Isn't the bigger discussion around Bridget Jones what she's done to her face?

Just looked up the film on google images.... They both look quite bad to be honest!

It's weird though to have this one instead of the next book - I wonder if they hated it as much as I did. ..

He looks 55. Which isn't really a surprise since he is 55.

He does, but still rather gorgeous. Just going to see the film for him.

Looking older isn't "looking bad" op. It will happen to you too one day, believe it or not.

Why are you shocked? He is a fine looking man, nothing wrong with looking your age.

Maybe I should have worded it as he looks older, rather than old.
I think I was expecting him to look like he did in previous film.... Which was a few years ago now!

Yes I was quite surprised at how much he has aged when I saw the trailer. Even more so as I saw him at Madame Tussaud's last month and he didn't look a day older than the last one.

No one is saying aging is bad it's just a shock when you haven't seen someone for a while and they are in your memory preserved as they were.

I didn't pay attention to the Jones films but he's been in so much stuff over the years, I don't think of him as having aged fast at all. Looks damn fine in Kingsman too. Actually he just looks damn fine all the time!

RJnomore - op did infact say C Firth and someone else were looking "bad". Its rather unintelligent to expect film stars/celebs to stay looking the same as they did 20 or 30 years ago isn't it?

He lost lots of weight for a recent-ish film and that wrecks your face a bit, I think.

Report
Lorelei76 · 21/08/2016 23:42

But his face isn't wrecked?! Do you really think he's bad looking now?
Not everyone has genes like Dana Delaney or Lucy Liu. They are a tiny minority in looking so much younger.

Came on here to say saw the trailer today and I think it's more that he's lost a shed load of weight and looks too scrawny now.

It might be weight because he looked fine in kingsman. Agreed he is still a good looking man though.

"Bridget Jones' Baby"??? What happened to Mad About The Boy?

I didn't mean that his face is a literal wreck! He's a good looking was -was, still is.
But sudden, extreme weight loss does take its toll on a face.
