I think people are confusing growing older with ageing badly.
Leonardo just looks older?
Yeah, I'm with you. Most of the people mentioned above just look older to me, and some have put on a bit of weight. But I'm not really seeing anyone who has aged badly.
Robert Downey Junior will never be anything but gorgeous. :cool:
Add me to the leo is hotter now group. I actually think he aged quite well.
See i think he still has something about him. I think he is handsome, just a bit bloated.
I think it's more to do with bad surgery than aging badly. I think he would have aged better naturally.
Oh agreed...the man is still hotness personified as far as I'm concerned.
If Mickey had never had surgery, then I think half of his face would be hanging off! He had a lot of boxing injuries, so he would not have aged well anyway.

Yeah but I still think he would have aged better without. The surgery looks freakish. I've seen boxers when older and yeah they might have cauliflower ears, or broken mishappen noses and such, but they still looked more human, and actually I've seen a few boxers who aged just fine. It doesn't look like all his procedures were corrective ones anyways, looks like his skin is pulled tight, like he's had fillers in the cheeks and lips, and something about the eyes (could be because of a face lift). I'm guessing his original fixing his nose thing may have led him down the road though.
I guess boxing didn't do much for his features and then he had extensive plastic surgery to correct the damage done to his face from boxing? Or maybe he was just vain and didn't want to show his age. He does look a bit strange but he's had a bit of a career revival in recent years. Sylvester Stallone looks a bit strange too - he's had some work done to him as well.
Mickey Rourke admits he went to the "wrong guy" for plastic surgery.
The 'Wrestler actor - who started boxing professionally in 1991 after his Hollywood career collapsed - claims most of the facial cosmetic procedures he underwent were to correct injuries sustained from the sport.
He said: "Most of it was to mend the mess of my face because of the boxing, but I went to the wrong guy to put my face back together."
The 56-year-old star suffered a catalogue of injuries while in the ring, but admits the cuts and bruises were nothing compared to one little-known side effect of the sport.
He said: "I had my nose broken twice. I had five operations on my nose and one on a smashed cheekbone.
"I had to have cartilage taken from my ear to rebuild my nose and a couple of operations to scrape out the cartilage because the scar tissue wasn't healing properly. That was one of the most painful operations, but the worst was haemorrhoids."

I read that too, but I still stand by what I said. I don't think they were all reconstructive. Actually even he says most, not all. I'm sure there were stages after surgey where he looked fine, but the more he had the worse he got. I really don't think the the skin, the eyes, and the fillers were anything but cosmetic and they did the most damage. It changed his face shape.
I think you probably need a specialist surgeon for reconstructive surgery; most surgeons probably don't do a lot of that work. It sounds like the first surgeon wasn't good enough.
You sure that's the right way eound images I've seen of the original cast Brandons still attractive but Luke Perry looks really old.
Luke Perry has aged, BUT, Jason Priestly was interviewed on something (Daybreak?) last week and looked dreadful. Maybe he had conjunctivitis or something, but I'd go as far as saying he looked ill.
Just how well do expect a man who's pushing 80 to have aged?
There must be 40 years between those pictures, and he's not as grey as I am at 52... mind you at least my hair is still growing along with me

Totally disagree - looks like a woman in the first image. Totally gorgeous now.

totally agree
I didnt fancy kid leo but totally love now leo (in blood dia mond he was all man)
There are a couple of photos of Harry Redknapp in his early 20s, looking quite presentable, that completely prove that point.
Leo has not aged badly. He has just aged. He is starting to look a bit like Jack Nicholson.
Ray Liotta looks awful now, like a mad rabbit-person. He was better off ageing naturally.
Leo is hotter now than he ever was!
What about Curly Watts???
Then
Now
I think Benicio Del Toro is one of those people who can get away with it - he's always been sruffy chic.

He was great in that! He comes to a rather unpleasant end in that film! Rather gory. Chop chop chop.
Speaking of that film, Timothy Dalton, who played James Bond, has aged rather well. He's now in his mid 60s and still looks good.
I saw Inception a few days ago. Tom Berenger looked so old compared to the last time I saw him in a film although that must have been decades ago.
The big difference between Leonardo DiCaprio - younger vs older - is his weight. I think he was underweight when he starred in Titanic.

I think Leo's hotter now too, he looked too young back then, it was almost like it was wrong to fancy him because he looked like a boy

Absolutely! Leonardo might not have a very youthful face, but he looks FAR better than some of the people in the links in this thread.
Then
Now :eek::eek::eek:
That's not aging badly, but the result of having way too much plastic surgery and not knowing when to stop.
