Counterexample: ageing to the point where you can't look any older and can simply go on with your life.

I refuse to believe that Patrick Stewart has ever looked younger than he currently does. When he was born he was just a smaller version of Patrick Stewart.

yeah, this one hurts the most, like clearly his facial acting brutalized his face, but you could see it as normal aging, and a few years back he was looking okay promoting Sonic.

Yeah probably some cheek filler to keep from getting jowly, it's not nearly as bad as the OP picture of him. Probably more work on the hairline than on the face.

But decades of shaving and prosthetics, I don't blame him for hair restoration.

I think he's had a face lift, bleph and some filler. And also botox - his smile is different so his face isn't moving the way it used to. His face in general looks fuller and that can only be achieved with filler or implants.

Can one single actor let their face age naturally? I remember articles popping up of how actors like Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Jennifer Aniston have aged like wine. Yeah when they were in their 40s. Good for them. Now can they please let it go.

They are over 60. It is fine to be over 60, and movies can be made with characters at that age. You are not fooling anyone with these cosmetic surgeries. You still look 60 and bloated as if a bee stung you.

u/ImperialBoomerang Uwe Boll 6h ago

Keanu Reeves is just now 61. It's RIGHT at that tipping point where things go south pretty quick. We won't know if he gives into this for a few years. Jim Carrey is 64 and about when he might get desperate like other actors that age. Even Brad Pitt, he's lookin... a bit plastic-y in the new trailer for the Fincher film, not terrible yet but also not natural.

You can absolutely keep things mostly together until about 60 and then people who've depended on their looks their entire lives like these celebs become desperate in ways regular people probably won't ever understand

There is some point after 50, which you can also see in your loved ones, where things take a sharp turn. And we need to accept that fact of life.
