Top Gun: AIBU to ask if you agree that Tom Cruise aged so mich better than Kelly McGillis

[Flyingfish2019]

And to wonder what his secret is?

Tom Cruise is 5 years younger than her.

Tom Cruise is a megastar and has infinite funds to spend on plastic surgery etc.

Being mega wealthy, not to mention having sold your soul to satan Scientologists will help with the 'looking younger' thing.

Kelly McGillis looks like a 61 year old woman, and why not.

You mean to say he underwent plastic surgery? I did not think about this but now that you say it cannot rule it out.

Cruel thread.

I do not think I am being cruel. I think she really looks okay for her age but he looks so much younger.
Have been watching the movie recently and was surprised to learn they were the same age, thought he was much younger.

Not a nice thread.

Oh come on!! Is this kind? How would you like it if you were Kelly McGillis?

Some people age well, some don’t.

Celine Dion was in the news today and looks about 65 not 50. Jennifer Anniston was also featured in an article and she looks 35 not 50.

The same goes for plenty of men as well.

He's got botox, veneers, fillers & a nose job. His face looked like a weird lumpy cushion last time he overdid the fillers. She looks fine to me.

Whagca bitchy thread to start!

61yo looks 61, not like melted plastic.

All hail Kelly McGillis.

What does 'aged so much better' actually mean to you? Really bitchy thread.

@whiteworld Oh boy... I am wondering why he looks so young... actually looks better today than he did on top gun and wonder how I would feel if that happened to my dh... eternal youth. I think it does feel odd if it happens to your spouse or somebody you know.

Kelly looks like a perfectly normal 60 year old woman. I don't see what your problem is with her appearance. She looks so much better than people who panic about aging and try to preserve their youthful looks with plastic surgery.

She’s aged normally though. It’s him that looks odd for his age. How do Val Kilmer and Antony Edwards look these days? Like normal 55-60 year olds.

I think she really looks okay for her age

She'll be thrilled to know that.

I hear that pointless judgeyness is very aging.

Then again, Val looks like he should at his age. And Ice was soooo much cooler than Maverick.

Plus, Kelly got to get hot and bothered with Harrison Ford in Witness. Go Kelly!!!!

@Hobbes8 It‘s him that looks odor his age It is exactly what i wanted to say but everybody gets me wrong.

Men get treated very generously when their age/appearance is assessed and women very harshly. Add to that the fact that money's no object for him and it's all explained.

Hobbes8 - um, I think Val Kilmer has taken advantage of anti-ageing methods...

I know who I'd rather spend an evening with.

clue: not weirdy Scientology dude

But men are given much more leeway re age and appearance than women. Not fair!

I love Tom’s films, even though only he would’ve cast himself as Jack Reacher.

And therein lies the secret of Toms enduring success. In the face of incontrovertible evidence, that little dude really thinks he is 6ft 5 and built like a brick kazi.

She'd probably look 21 if she hadn't been subject to that awful incident.

Plus, Kelly got to get hot and bothered with Harrison Ford in Witness. Go Kelly!!!!*
I'm pretty sure Kelly is gay so she wouldn't care less about Harrison

I love Tom Cruise

Kelly McGillis has taken the unusual path (for a Hollywood actress) of letting nature take its own course. That takes some determination in a town and industry that has a terror of old age.

Tom Cruise is clearly preoccupied with doing what he has to do to try and stay as young as possible. It worked for a long time but he's recently started to look a bit strange. The cheeks looking just slightly too plump and so on.

So objectively yes, Tom Cruise has aged better. But I'd rather hang out with Kelly.
