To have thought Keane Reeves was dating Helen Mirren?

[BritishHorrorStory]

I actually thought it was her from the picture. I’ve always liked Keanu Reeves.

I think people are saying she looks older because a lot of women in their 40s are either dyeing their hair or not grey yet so people are simply not used to this.

Furthermore people are comparing her to other forty plus women in Hollywood who probably dye their hair and have surgical and/or non surgical anti-aging treatments.

It's quite a bad thing to say you mistook someone who is 46 for someone who is 74 yes however beautiful that 74 year old is.

I agree all these threads are thinly veiled attempts to say 'ooh look how weird this is - a man like that should be with a 22 year old blonde'.

It's always a shock to sleb culture when a powerful man is seen with a woman who isn't younger than him or not conventionally attractive.

She is younger than him and I would say she is very attractive.

I did! Very similar.

expectations of women looking appealing to men at all times

Maybe those women are looking appealing for themselves, not for men?

Fwiw, I think she looks a little older than her actual age in all but one of those shots but I think it's a combination of hair and skin. The one shot where she looks her age her complexion is much smoother.

Helen Mirren herself has commented on the resemblance. I saw it in on FB yesterday. I didn't click on it though so I don't know what she said.

A man in his 40s isn't automatically assumed to be 20+ years older because he has grey hair...

I don’t believe this to be true. Grey is ageing for men too.

It’s a simple fact of life that we associate grey hair with age, because grey hair comes with age.
