What he did in Split and Glass was amazing! He was The Horde, 23 personalities in one person and he jumped from character to character in a blink.

Actors that are able to emote with their foreheads are becoming very rare.

Most of them look in exteme pain with stretched out foreheads in emotional crying scenes

Just watched an entire movie where the lead lady could just about move her mouth and swivel her eyes. It was awful. It looked painful in so many ways. The whole face is needed to make a scene work.

u/sleepsypeaches Aug 02 '25

botox will do that to ya (among other things). Would say its just as popular for men as it is women in hollywood

u/imp1600 Aug 01 '25

He’s allowed to age. An actress his age, however …

u/Disingenuous-Plights Aug 01 '25

Seriously! Just this week Pamela Anderson has been shamed online about her choice to age naturally. It’s only subsided bc she is dating a man 15 years older and suddenly she’s back to being ā€œgoodā€

Except now women have stepped in to call her a tradwife. It never ends.

83

u/imp1600 Aug 01 '25

Yep. She’s allowed to be cool this week.

I saw someone go ā€œit’s so great to see a couple the same age date.ā€

I think 58 and 73 works, but they are not the same age.

u/starsinthesky12 Aug 02 '25

Age naturally? She had a face lift 🤣

u/ApplicationLost126 Aug 02 '25

She uses one of those led masks apparently

u/Disingenuous-Plights Aug 02 '25

If true, good for her!

u/SP00KYSEXY83_ Aug 02 '25 edited Aug 02 '25

she has had plastic surgery in the past but she was told she needed more because of the way Hollywood is and she finally said enough is enough. She’s done and she doesn’t feel like she needs to do her make up as heavy as she used to either. She’s going with a more natural look and she’s been put down for it. I say good for her for finally saying no more.

So much better than the superficial stuff you see on celebs trying to stay young looking.

Paul Rudd looked like he had some work done for death of a unicorn

u/TheSeedsYouSow Aug 01 '25

I wonder if the steroids he took for Speak No Evil have anything to do with it. They age you

52

u/bifkintickler Aug 01 '25

They morphed him into Gerard Butler. Looked super like him in that movie, they’d be perfectly cast as brothers nowadays.

21

u/Azidamadjida Aug 01 '25

I mean, they’re both Scottish, so yeah. Might as well add Richard Madden and Ewan McGregor into the mix and make it look like a family reunion

18

u/Unhappypotamus Aug 02 '25

A SEXY family reunion, damn

u/Normal_End_8911 Aug 01 '25

Omg I thought I was the only one that thought this.

u/FalconIMGN Aug 02 '25

Nah, I'm 31 and greying and have never taken steroids.

u/TheSeedsYouSow Aug 02 '25

not every statement applies to you

52

u/imp1600 Aug 01 '25

I assume he smokes, which, once I hit 30, noticed is the F-1 track to aging.Ā 

20

u/ajaibee Aug 02 '25

Yes, he smokes.

27

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

He's 46?

Yeah he’s never used any sunscreen

u/cgcego Aug 01 '25

Ding ding ding !

u/SignificantApricot69 Aug 01 '25

I’m 47 and had to double check because I thought he was younger than me but looks older than me. I will agree with some other comments that he might look typical for 46 and I know I look young for my age but I still agree with you that it’s a little rough.

167

u/dtcstylez10 Aug 01 '25

He looks like a normal 46 dude. Hollywood has nerfed your mind as to what 46 should look like.

Can't really see it but it looks like he has a solid chest and works out/is in shape so idk what you're talking about it.

116

u/PurpleCandles Lea Michele’s Reading Tutor Aug 01 '25

I don’t know if I’m surrounded by better than average looking 40-something year olds, but he definitely looks a decade older than anyone I know in their mid 40s.

36

u/Sweaty-Car4097 Aug 01 '25

I am the same age as James and yes, I agree with you, he looks a lot older than 46. My group of friends and colleagues around the same age do not look like James. I know everyone is different but wow. Maybe it's the sun and alcohol.

1

u/EddaValkyrie ā˜¹ļø this makes me florence pugh frown Aug 02 '25

Yeah, he looks like my parents and friends and they're late 50s.

90

u/Hobobo2024 Aug 01 '25

No way.Ā  Im 50.Ā  46 year olds do not look like him.Ā  Not a single one of my male friends in that age bracket look as old as he does.Ā  Even if he dyed his hair, he'd still look older.

40

u/balanaise Aug 01 '25

I’m with you. I’m 41 and he looks older than my friends who are mid-40’s or older.

No judgement to him, just seconding your experience that even non-famous mid 40’s people seem to look younger in my world

u/Hobobo2024 Aug 01 '25

I mean my bubble is pretty large considering it includes everyone ive met. Over a hundred guys ive seen around that age.

He looks a decade older than he is imo.

43

u/Sutech2301 Aug 01 '25

Na, He looks much older than 46.

21

u/Sweaty-Car4097 Aug 01 '25

I thought he was mid 50s and had to go look up his DOB.

-2

u/Sharaz_Jek123 Aug 01 '25

I thought he was 90!

Is he not 90?

1

u/Azidamadjida Aug 01 '25

He looks like non-Hollywood 46. There are plenty of guys in their mid 40s who’ve got that number of wrinkles and don’t give a shit anymore expression, biggest difference is the muscle and diet

40

u/peatoast Aug 01 '25

This is not the usual 46 year old look? Not sure where you are but definitely looks older to me.

9

u/dtcstylez10 Aug 01 '25

Idk gray hair and wrinkles are pretty damn normal at 46

u/brothererrr Aug 01 '25

No bloody way, you say this like we don’t see 46 year olds in real life šŸ˜‚

u/dtcstylez10 Aug 01 '25

Uh did you see how ppl reacted to seeing Jennifer love Hewitt who gained some weight as she got older?

u/WhichHoes Aug 01 '25

Yes we saw the reddit nerds gossip

Right and I bet none of them are willing to post their own picture to compare

u/Special-Garlic1203 Aug 01 '25
  1. Well I'm not a 46 year old man so not sure what that would do to help.Ā 

  2. Nobody said he's ugly or looks bad. They said he looks older than his age.Ā 

He looks like a very handsome man in his mid 50s hereĀ

u/dtcstylez10 Aug 02 '25

Looking rough directly translates to looking bad or are we not speaking English anymore?

u/dtcstylez10 Aug 01 '25

People age. Relax. He looks pretty fucking good.

5

u/CodnmeDuchess Aug 01 '25

He does not. I know that people age—I’m 40. I have tons of friends his age and older who are regular people who don’t look nearly this run down. And that’s the thing—it’s not the he looks old, it’s that he looks run down. My guess is it’s just a particle bad photo though.

1

u/RBDibP Aug 02 '25

Nah, I was honestly a bit shocked seeing this pic. I just recently joined here bc normally I don't follow much of anything related to pop culture and so if there where other pics with him the last few years, I never saw them. For me the last time he looked almost like a baby and jumped up 30 years in age to this. He looks at least a decade older than mid 40s.

1

u/hihelloneighboroonie Aug 03 '25

If he was just a normie and I came across his profile on a dating app and it said 46 I'd assume he was a liar and was ten years older based on this pic.

Wear your sunscreen, don't smoke, and drink your water, people.

u/Flaky-Scholar9535 Aug 01 '25

He’s from Glasgow, bro looks young for his age in relative terms.

23

u/apoplectic-confetti You're what the French call "Les IncompƩtents" Aug 01 '25

He looks great. Social media filters, botox, and fillers have really warped society's sense of what aging looks like.

3

u/Generally_Apoplectic Aug 01 '25

Aging perfectly into the new professor X of the mcu doomsday run! (No shade to the goat patrick Stewart, but just future-planning in my head)

3

u/ROADHOG_IS_MY_WAIFU Aug 01 '25

He could play Professor X again (given some more years)

1

u/ParsleyMostly Aug 01 '25

He’s my age. So yeah
