But she has moved to a happy life.She doesn’t have to prove anything now she is just getting on with life away from the screen.
Contentment and being content with who you are is more important than being botoxed the fuck out of.

What a nasty and unnecessary thread.

ABigBraclet · 24/01/2019 01:05

Why should she undergo unnecessary surgeries which hold complications and side effects..? Oh riiight, so that when she does, a stupid, pointless, sleb magazine can include her in their "Top 10 cosmetic faces gone WRONG!" Double page spread, so the likes of you, OP can go, "urgh, what has she done to her face?! She should just grow old gracefully. Tut." - Yeah?

grim.

HaroldsSocalledBluetits · 24/01/2019 01:11

I also think she looks lovely. Her skin is excellent and she has a general look of health about her that is always attractive.

Plus, she doesn't brainwash child brides and force them into weird cultish behaviour like giving birth silently so she's winning at life as far as Tom is concerned.

Rob Lowe must have some kind of pact with the devil though.

Flyingfish2019 · 24/01/2019 01:32

Thinking about it... this thread really was not very nice... but I did not mean it like this. I actually wanted to talk about him not about her... I shouldn’t have mentioned her.

I'm glad you've acknowledged this thread wasn't particularly kind OP.

I do agree that Tom Cruise hasn't aged particularly naturally though - you only have to look at his teeth to know that!

Flyingfish2019 · 24/01/2019 01:37

His teeth?

Genetics, non smoker, teetotaler cleverly done surgery, the best food and facials money can buy

RCohle · 24/01/2019 02:39

Yep, just look at his teeth in the 80s v now. I've tried to attach a pic:

Is that older picture him in The Outsiders RCohle?

About the only film with him in I can watch. Loathe the odious toad, casting himself as the worshiped hero with super powers. Bleurgh. Can't help thinking he feeling he's as mavolous as his characters.

Having not seen any if his films (bar clips) in the last 20 odd years what sort of age are the women who play his girlfriend/wife/partner? I'm assuming they aren't Kelly's age or close to his (I assume this because I dislike him!)

RCohle · 24/01/2019 09:02

Yes I think so, bloody love that film Grin

MrsJayy · 24/01/2019 09:06

I just googled her she looks like a normal 61year old woman to me good for her We are so used to seeing Actors on their 3rd face by the time they are 61 we don't remember their actual ages . Tom Cruise had had a tonne of work done since Top gun it isn't his original face.

JaneJeffer · 24/01/2019 09:50

TC had his teeth like that for the part he was acting. He was still good looking besides. Anyone who works with him says he's lovely including Simon Pegg who does the MI films with him.

What a horrid thread! I'd far rather see a normal looking person than a plastic fake one. So YABU.

MiceSqueakCatsMeow · 24/01/2019 12:26

She's better looking because her face is natural. Tom Cruise over did the fillers recently and his face was puffy and unrecognisable.

MiceSqueakCatsMeow · 24/01/2019 12:31

Fillers.

I've just noticed that the smile lines from his eyes are now pointing above his eyes. Naturally they are positioned under the eyes. This is a sign of a face lift. I do feel bitchy pointing it out. But he puts himself in the spotlight, so I don't feel really bad.

LucilleBluth · 24/01/2019 12:37

His face was distracting during the surprisingly good Mission Impossible 267.

McGillis was beautiful and still is. In Top Gun she was a proper big haired, shoulder padded 80s power woman....she was an engineer. More roles like that please.

JaneJeffer · 24/01/2019 12:37

Fake plastic people have feelings too...

TheGoddessFrigg · 24/01/2019 12:41

Tom Cruise now looks like Sandi Toksvig.

Wordthe · 24/01/2019 12:42

in terms of bodies, she doesn't exercise and so is fat and out of shape
he does exercise and he's in good shape
that's why he looks young and she doesn't

Facially he is clearly had work done, although being able to afford it doesn't necessarily guarantee a good result
