to think there's something creepy about a middle-aged man who never left puberty?

I'm talking about Leonardo DiCaprio. I could understand, sort of, why girls thought he was cute 15 years ago. I always thought he was too baby-faced and boyish and figured maybe he'd improve with age.

Only he hasn't, really. He's never really grown up. he just sort of ages and goes squidgy around the edges of his teenage face. He's like one of those supermarket pears that goes from unripe to rotten without ever being good to eat.

It's weird, isn't it??

Well, he can hardly help his face, can he?

It's funny, I was just watching a movie with Johnny Depp in it. He also used to be too baby-faced to appeal to me but he sure is fine now!

I agree. But his Brazilian model girlfriends don't seem to mind...

I had to go and google now! Is this him?

young

old

Looks just like any other aging bloke to me.

saggy and wrinkly.

yet, this in a woman, is seen as endearing and one to be valued...

I never liked him. I was always a josh hartnett girl myself.

Poor sod!

He can't help how he looks!!

I actually think he's more fanciable now that he's older.

DoctorAnge: the fact that he has so many hot model girlfriends is the only reason I don't feel too bad about publicly saying "ew!"

never seen the appeal tbh, he reminds me if the evil doll out of childsplay.

Will say tho if a man started a thrwad of this ilk about a female i'm 99.9999999% certain mn would self combust

Well I saw him in Django Unchained last night and he was very good.

Ian Beale in EE is the same

I like him. He's a bloody fantastic actor.

He's a good actor. But I don't fancy him.

38 is NOT middle aged.
I am two years older and a mere slip of a thing. Yes I am. 100%.

3 score and 10.

35 is halfway.

sorry.

My db is like this.

He's 40 this year, and still looks so young, like early 20's, and looks like he hasn't left his teens behind him.

Well.....he does still live at home.

Paul McCartney is another one. Attractive when young but just looks wrong as he's aged.

The real McCartney or his replacement?

38 is not middle aged.

He's grown into a pretty good actor.

There's no question of reasonableness when you fancy someone or don't fancy someone.

Hec you have the maths wrong.
We calculate it thus:
(Life expectancy 80)-(youth 30)=50
(Half way through adulthood 50/2)=25
30+25=55.
Therefore middle age does not begin until 55 (at which point I will find a new calculation).

He reminds me of Norman Lamont these days.

he is a good actor but his private life is starting to seem a bit sleazy to me.

Being surrounded by endless 19 year olds in bikinis when you're 22 is fair enough but now he's pushing 40 it's a bit off putting.

Oh leave him alone - he can hardly help his face can he?

He is not middle aged.

Actually, the maths is more simple than that.

My age + 10 years = middle age.
