I mean, when will he be too old for the bare chest swagger? 🤢🤢

Tom is physically in good shape. I think it's quite an attractive pose tbh - it's not too revealing but still has a hint of sauciness.

Sadly though I find this thoroughly unappealing. Not because of his age or his body, but because of what he's done to his face. He looks absolutely awful, so plastic and artifically bloated.

As I'm getting older myself, I quite appreciate an attractive older man. And I love seeing sexy older females, especially when they are natural as opposed to chasing youth with surgery and fillers.

And yes, yes, I know: their body, their choice. I just think that looking young has been over-prioritised - it's now deemed better to have smooth, plump, youthful skin but also look a bit strange, than dare to have any wrinkles. We've lost the ability to find beauty and sexiness in anything other than the radiance of youth. And I think that's really sad.

I’ve just seen him interviewed and he doesn’t look plastic at all. In fact, he’s much more lined and craggy than I realised. In contrast, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic 2 interviews have not one line on their face. Tom looks much more normal and his age than they do.
