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?

Good for Kelly.She has beautiful skin and a lovely warmth about her .A similar age to me and I've not had a thing done,nor ever will.I'm lucky that due to an active lifestyle and a dollop of genetics ,taking after my mum I don't weigh much more than I did in my twenties.But I certainly have plenty wrinkles and probably look my age.I've a friend 20 years younger who is having regular botox,had boob implants -with lots of complications- and from conversations hates the idea of looking any older.I find it quite sad how women bitch about other women instead of accepting some of us want to age naturally.

a gym is a gym. ITS NOT A FUCKING TARDIS
depends what you do in there

but being healthy does buy you extra time in most cases, and the body deteriorates at a slower rate if you keep up a good level of physical activity

People tend to look older when they pile a load of weight on, same as if they are too skinny.

Tom Cruise has had regular "enhancements" and Kelly McGillis has not
YABU

what it a lefty dude bro @Helena?
A youngish bearded bloke I assume...you assume I am a man?

I don't think TC looks great. He just looks weird.

I only clicked to tell the op off but it's been taken care of by everybody else.

Haven't seen a pic of Kelly since Top Gun. She's really beautiful.

Kelly has good bone structure and a decent haircut. She suits her colouring and is ageing well.

Tom Cruise has had regular "enhancements"

He's had more than enhancements, the guys had more facelifts than Madonna. I understand his plastic surgeon is South African and world renowned, but I think thr latest went too far.

It's the weight that adds to the effect, if she was thinner she would look like she'd aged well.

I think she looks very attractive. Her smile reaches her eyes for a start.

Would love to see a picture of the 60 year old supermodels that are critiquing her appearance on this thread. You've clearly got it sussed on how to age. Nasty.

TC had his teeth like that for the part he was acting.

^ No, that’s not true. Those were Cruise’s real teeth in The Outsiders. That was one of his first movie roles and at that point he had not yet replaced his natural teeth with his first set of veneers. I saw an interview once, many years ago now, where he was discussing this and other pictures of him from high school and childhood were shown in which his natural teeth were visible; and his smile looked the same as it did in The Outsiders photo.

Fun fact: when he filmed Mission Impossible: Fallout, Tom Cruise was five years older than Wilford Brimley was when he filmed Cocoon.
