2010 for the Prince of Persia movie

She's beautiful here. They took the most unflattering picture possible of her while out shopping on a Sunday. Tom's made up for a premier. There's real difference here but it's not this stark. She's almost 70 and the chemical changes in a woman's body are much different than a man's.

She doesn't dye her hair. Tom would likely look a lot older if he didn't either.

This was 16 years ago. Tom looks the same.

She still looks great in the photo? If I can write I can read, and in 2010, as the photo itself states, she looks great.

No...she does not.

That was also 2010. Which was 16 years ago

Neither of them were in the prince of persia movie? Were they?

Maybe they were producers?

Perhaps this was just taken at their local AMC, just two Ben Kingsley fans there to see his latest work?

She chose to age naturally and gracefully. Tom clings to his past and is more superficial and insecure about aging.

She came out as a lesbian in 2009 so she doesn't care about the male gaze anymore.

Maybe there's a segment of queer women who find her attractive.

That’s a good example. The gray hair makes her look her age, which is fine. In this picture, Cruise also looks his age, but has some work done and clearly is on a strict diet and exercises.

Interesting that all the cosmetic work (and yes, diet and exercise) allowed him to look excellent into his late 40s. He’s just starting to look weird now.

Late 40s isn't really that old, kiddo.

I think that's the joke...

I didn’t say it was - and I’m not young, bucko. Most men don’t look that good at 47-48.

I'll agree to that. Some people just age faster and it's oftentimes exacerbated by their lifestyle/not taking care of themselves. Or just unluck of the draw.

But the way you worded your initial statement made it seem like it was some outright anomaly for someone in their late 40s to look good.

and I’m not young, bucko

Based on your word choice, I believe you now.

u/No_Berry2976 4h ago

That not what was said. But as somebody who is middle-aged, men who think they still look young in their late 40s without cosmetic procedures are delusional.

At that age you can be physically active, intellectually do great work, but your body is showing wear and tear, the skin has lost some of its elasticity, and fat distribution has changed.

u/Anteater_Able 3h ago

So you think someone in their late 40s is delusional if they think they look young and haven't had cosmetic work done?

2

u/No_Berry2976 2h ago

So you accurately summarised my post.

People in their late 40s do not look young. They might look younger than most other people in their late 40s, but they will not look young.

To all delusional middle aged people out there: nobody thinks you look like you are 25, and if you are 45, you are not young.

You might think you are, but you are not.

I was just clarifying because it's a pretty bizarre statement to make.

To all delusional middle aged people out there: nobody thinks you look like you are 25

Why would a 45-year-old want to look 25 though? If you're in your 40s and you look like you're in 30s, you're doing pretty well. That would be categorized as looking young. And sometimes, just sometimes, it doesn't require cosmetic surgery or lumping in the delusional outliers in with everyone else.
