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?

I take that back Tom cruise's body looks like a sack of shit
he needs to get back in the gym

Meh- Tom has had lots of help, but he doesn’t look young anymore. Val Kilmer has been ill and looks his age. Kelly looks normal for hers.

Getting old is a privilege.

Pierce Brosnan is 65 and he looks great.

I hope TC doesn't end up like Mickey Rourke.

I think Kelly looks great. She looks completely natural, no face lifts, Botox or other invasive procedures to keep looking younger. She looks as if she enjoyed her life rather than worrying about aging.

Getting old is a privilege which is more likely to be enjoyed if you've looked after your health and kept in good shape

Yes Kelly looks natural, if you don't exercise and you over eat you naturally get fat,

It's not true about keeping healthy, slim and exercise keeps you alive. My friend who was all these things got pancreatic cancer and died. Sometimes cancer just kills people.

You mean to say he underwent plastic surgery

You surely must be taking the piss, the mans as plastic as it gets, he's a human Ken doll he's had so much surgery.

To be fair that previous photo of Kelly was her in character for a movie. This is more accurate and I think I she looks lovely. I always thought she was gorgeous.

Good photo Bluntness she has actually aged well.

And I’m loving JT without the hair. He looks like the Irish guy from Cracker.

So sorry for the tragic loss of your friend @Mice :(

of course we can none of us guarantee a long life and good health, all we can do is increase our chances by taking care of our health where possible

wow, Travolata with a bald look, I think he looks good!
Kelly does have a lovely face and I love her beautiful silver hair

To be fair, you can age naturally but be mindful of your weight and be more comfortable staying slim.

There's a happy middle between spending your life on a plastic surgeon table and not giving a monkey about your appearance.

I also think John travolta looks good bald.

I think the other thing is that after Top Gun/Witness she sort of disappeared so we didn't see her 'age' as she went - so obviously when you are comparing a 28 year old to a 61 year old she is going to look much older!!!

Tim Cruise is 56 and to be honest he looks the same as lots of other 56 year old men. No idea if he's had any work done but he's ageing as we all do.

what is meant by aging naturally though?
what interventions are allowed/natural and which ones are in the unnatural category?

it seems to me that when people talk about what's natural they really mean 'what I personally approve of'

Not sure if YABU but you certainly are being catty and not a supportive woman. Women build each other up. I mean, sure, if she’d shaved all her hair off, tattooed her scalp with swear words and started wearing clothes with massive cocks all over them, discuss the topic, because people are bound to. But where’s the newsflash in a woman ageing 30 years in 30 years? She looks sixty because she’s sixty and she’s not buggered around with her face and body like so many others do. She’s not using contour and highlight palettes and thick foundations to paint an entirely new face on top of her face. She is herself. Tom Cruise’s face is mostly what he paid for. I expect Tom Cruise, behind the surgery and makeup and resurfacing and veneers, looks just as much thirty years older as she does. As a woman who will age, if she’s lucky, you shouldn’t be critiquing a woman who has.

the difference is also and mainly that Tom Cruise is VERY fit, and is forever working out. Kelly is not. She doesn't have to, but that doesn't help her appearance.

It's not all plastic surgery, and it's such a lazy way to think that people who keep young cannot do it naturally. Not denying that Tom Cruise had work done, but he's not all plastic.

such a lazy way to think that people who keep young cannot do it naturally

what are the natural ways and what are the unnatural ones?
everyone talks about getting old naturally but no one seems willing to give a precise definition of what is unnatural and why

it's as natural to keep exercising that it is to get fat for a start...

Wordthe
TC in Rock of Ages has a well defined body that he obviously keeps trim but it’s still an older mans gym fit body...
So you can eat well, be slim and work out, doesn’t mean you won’t age and unfortunately doesn’t necessarily buy you extra time.

what a bitchy thread.

@Wordthe bet you are a lefty dude bro.

a gym is a gym. ITS NOT A FUCKING TARDIS
