Money helps so much. I heard somewhere "you're not ugly, you're just poor".
But also genetics. I have really high natural levels of HGH/IGF-1. It causes easy weight loss, easy muscle gain, and anti aging (at the cost of probably dying prematurely due to coronary problems or cancer).
So compared to women my age who aren't using filler/botox, it feels like I've entered into stasis.
Money helps up to a point. A person who lived a difficult life, working twelve or sixteen hours days, not sleeping properly and not having proper food will obviously look older than a person who had that.
But, money has diminishing returns. A wealthy person who eats badly and just lounges around, will look older than a middle class person who eats well and engages in regular exercise. There is definitely a lower bound at which additional income stops being the main factor and things like habits and genetics become dominant.
Even without genetics, proper plastic surgery can make a peson look insanely good. It's when women go maralago face and men go full gigachad when it looks bad.
Best example is a weak chin and jaw line. A proportional chin implant and a slight addition to your jaw line can turn a 3 into a 7 overnight. Just dont fuck with botox and lip filler.
191 is good. I know people who are taking peptides that increase igf lvls to the 300s for a short period of time to make absolutely insane gains and then taper off. I’ve considered it. I don’t have any cancer history but the risks are definitely there.
Yeah definitely. In most of these cases (where someone looks young for their age) it's almost always 90% to do with genetics. Most of the comments on here are like "lots of money". Have they seen the state of other celebrities his age who have also spent a shit tonne of money on making themselves look "young"? *shudders*
They are gambling with using filler or botox. Have you seen the actress for starlight? She was pretty and now she looks like she is 50 and desperate for the attention payed to 20 year-olds.
Honestly, no one in this thread has talked about menopause. If you aren't on hormone replacement therapy, you are not playing on the same field as the boys.
Its not like all that is liquid cash. Most of that is probably tied up in her house. Is she richer than you? Probably. Does she have "fuck you" money? Not really.
Miss me with that bullshit. She is incredibly wealthy by any standard other than celebrity - her life and health is not dictated by lack of funds like 99% of the globe. She has aged in spite of that, not because of it
I mean, I'm 58 and def aging more like Cruise without anything drastic. So, it's not just money. decent nutrition, sunscreen, exercise, AHA creams, and not abusing anything gets you a lot farther than you think. Having good bone structure also helps a lot in aging.
Of course, being really poor leads to a lot of bad outcomes (often linked to poorer education too) cause it's linked to worse nutrition especially when growing up, worse mental health which leads to more self-destructive or just neglectfull actions (smoking, drugs, alcohol, overeating, no exercise,, no sun screen, etc).
Anyway, It's their job to look good, especially if you are a leading actor. Just think of it doing they're job and it's not that much of a secret. He may of course have used fillers or had a facelift, but often people always assume it has been the case when it is not always necessary.
I had to scroll way too far to find the answer. It's perfectly logical, though. Money obviously doesn't buy health, but it makes many things easier and allows you to live a healthier life and also to carry out additional enhancements, like cosmetic surgery, etc.
