Celebs don't age gracefully. All that botox, fillers and facelifts comes back to bite them on the arse. They not just look old, they look weird.

Remember Joan Van Ark? Valene from Knots Landing? Very pretty back then. Do not google her now without strong drink.

I'm very bad at recognising actors, but the other day I saw a you-know-him's eyes staring out of an old man's face. James Spader, good God!

I couldn't watch Blacklist because of it Sgtmajormummy Sad

How about this one. I nearly cried when I saw this one. Is it Max from The Tweenies? No, it's ANDREW RIDGELEY.

James Spader????!!!! Oh, my lost youth! That is exactly what happens to the pretty boys, though, they turn into dough. The boys with interesting faces get better with age.

As he should always be. Back in the 80s.

James Spader is a bit of a tragedy really.
Whereas I've always liked how Willem Defoe has aged.

At least James Spader isn't denying that time goes by. Tim Robbins is ageing gracefully, too.
Talking about not recognising actors, this is the star of Jurassic World, Chris Pratt. It took me about two days of torture to work out I knew him as the brother in Everwood.

Please introduce me to your personal trainer and plastic surgeon!

Okay, something's wrong. I was going to post about the travesty of Donald Sutherland's actually being old (if still very successful, still actually looking like himself and so forth). I decided to look him up on IMBD. He's eighty! As in 80! Eighty years old, born in 1935! How is this possible? This is so unfair. Just remembered the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" (which I have never cared for/appreciated) and want to cry!

Nothing can be worse than Tony Slattery who was so beautiful in his youth and is such a car crash now Sad

Oh, my goodness, I've just looked up photos of Tony Slattery 2015! How disappointing.

Donald Sutherland, though, is gorgeous :)

Ricky Gervais was a bit of a looker in his youth too.

OMG, google Axl Rose. He was such a beautiful man.

Ah, I think we should have an early 90s indie thread. I like an hour on the sofa with the iPad randomly surfing long haired shoe gazers on youtube. (put Duel by Swervedriver on now...) But then I start feeling old and sad and have to stop.

I was ranting about the utter rubbishness of Bieber the other day and DD1 (9) said I the reason I didn't like him was because I was old Shock

Was watching TFI Friday tonight and Kylie was on. She looks amazing!

Didn't she just? She and Jason should do an up to date 'Especially for You'. Smile

Reading through here I share a lot of the same feelings, I feel so old when I look at celebs that were one beautiful it's incredibly sad.
I was so shocked when I googled Paul Nicholas, he's like a really, really old man and what's going on with his hair. Same when I googled Axyl Rose, once so beautiful.
But....I tell you who does still look good and has given in to the grey and that's Jon Bon Jovi, preferred him blonde but he still has it.

Oh wow! Doesn't he just. He's almost Richard Gere-like. He was a beautiful young man, and now he's a handsome older man.

When I switched on in the middle of TFI on Friday I thought it must be a "vintage" edition because Kylie looks the same as she did 20 years ago.
