Just watching This Morning and Max Beesley is on there. Oh my, did I used to fancy him but blimey AFAIC he has not aged well. He just looks like some boring middle aged NDN now.

Daniel Day Lewis. Gorgeous then, gorgeous now

Jeff Goldblum. Handsome then and now.

Katie Price. Was so attractive when she started out. Not now

Russell Crowe. He had something about him Now just a jowly middle aged man.

Emma Thompson. Had no work done and looks far better now than she used to

My DH. I think he's more handsome than he used to be, he's grown into his grey hair and wrinkles, whereas I just look like a grey haired old woman Grin

Was googling Paul Rudd as had no idea who he was and found this gem You spin me round

Veterinari · 27/04/2019 15:24

Kim Cattrall looks very ‘fillered’

DarlingNikita · 27/04/2019 15:34

SJP looks to have had LOTS of work on her face. She's also very very slim, which I don't think ages very well sometimes.

Gwenhwyfar · 27/04/2019 15:52

Emma Bunton is the youngest Spice Girl though.

TalkinPaece · 27/04/2019 15:58

A lot of the 80's pop stars have stayed fit and healthy and so have aged well without over use of cosmetic surgery.

Looking like you have enjoyed your life is good
(although Keith Richards takes it to a whole new level)

Trying to look like you have no wrinkles will go wrong one day
(Meg Ryan for example)

Andrew Ridgeley is happily grey and bald and looks fine

Patsy a Palmer age 46....

Who do you think has aged well, and who hasn't?  (just lighthearted thread)
Dowser · 27/04/2019 16:03

Would’ve loved to have seen how meg Ryan would’ve aged without work done
I think Fergie has aged well...and I bet Diana would’ve aged beautifully

Dowser · 27/04/2019 16:05

I also think princess pushy aged well haven’t seen her for a while and Princess Anne has done well
( seen her in real life and she’s tiny)

TalkinPaece · 27/04/2019 16:07

Mad as a box of frogs, but looks AMAZING at 70

bone structure is rather key there

groundcontroltomontydon · 27/04/2019 16:09

Darcey Bussell and Bebe Neuwirth look amazing - being a dancer definitely helps! The years haven't been kind to Tom Berenger.

Dowser · 27/04/2019 16:21

Omg
Grace Jones is 70?
I need to up my game

I’ve got 3 years
Well two and a half actually 😂

FiremanKing · 27/04/2019 16:21

Sissy Spacek looks great for her age.

FiremanKing · 27/04/2019 16:22

Carol Kane also looks great. 66

TalkinPaece · 27/04/2019 16:25

On a more down to earth level,
Jo Wiley
53, 4 kids, stays fit, looks great

FiremanKing · 27/04/2019 16:25

Olivia Hussey looks fab for her age.

Some of these ladies haven’t changed their hairstyle either.

Roussette · 27/04/2019 16:32

Grace Jones is hilarious, still batshit crazy. Only someone old like me will remember her interviewed by Russell Harty (long dead) and she whacked him round the head not hard but like a toddler would react when not getting attention. It was classic

I am in love with Darcey Bussell. Always have been. She's beautiful

Richard Madley
Lee Mack
Clooney
Donny Osmond

and not forgetting Kylie!

PuppyMonkey · 27/04/2019 16:59

Audrey Roberts from Corrie is my heroine as far as ageing well goes.

Ken Barlow not doing bad either, although I think he’s finally starting to show his 87 years tbf.

Delatron · 27/04/2019 17:14

The thing is, all the people you are mainly listing; Jennifer Anniston, Kate Beckinsdale , Julia Roberts, Yasmin Le Bon etc have all had work done. It’s just good, subtle work.

I don’t like all this ‘oh she’s messed up her lovely face’. Some women; Meg Ryan, Courtney Cox “, Nicole Kidman etc have had too much/bad work done that is all. Yes they would have looked better without any work. But zero work does not tend to equal the youthfulness that we are seeing, especially when you hit 50+.

There are very few women in Hollywood who have had no work done. SJP is one and I think Naomi Watts.

Roussette · 27/04/2019 17:16

And Diane Keaton

Actually, I take that back about Naomi Watts, just looked at some recent photos and she’s definitely had work done. Good work though, she looks fab.

xsquared · 27/04/2019 17:22

Keanu Reeves must have a portrait of himself in the attic.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 27/04/2019 17:33

YAY! Sleb twaddle. Grin

Will Young has not aged badly Wink

just an excuse to make you all watch this video

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 27/04/2019 17:34

Seriously though, the video is what all Sleb Twaddlers did not know they needed Grin

DeadWife · 27/04/2019 17:36

Don't know what's happened to Mel B recently but all of a sudden she looks a lot older facially.

Lindsay Lohan too despite work - party lifestyles?

Kate Beckinsale seems age-defying.
