Morning ,
Randomly I was thinking to myself about those lucky actors that never seemed to age .
The first 2 that sprung to my mind were;
1) Patrick Stuart - looked the same in "Dune" as he did in start trek
2) Brian Blessed - Took him bloody ages to show signs of wear and tear.
Suggestions for the list please ?

Guessing at some point Paul Rudd might be added to this list. But seeing as he's 50 now and looks the same as he did when he was 25 we'll be waiting a while...

Good call. I am not sure that the "until now" in the thread title is meant to have any meaning aside from "so far"

The same goes for Patrick Stewart and Ray Wise (Ray Wise was Leland Palmer in Twin Peaks, he was only 40 when the first series was made but he looked more like 52 or "generic middle age", and just stayed looking like that for another 30 years!)

Harrison Ford and Tom Hanks seemed to suddenly become elderly but that might be because I watch so many of their old films on the reg that when I see them now it shocks me.

Robert Redford. Sure, he has aged.
About 20 years in 55 years!

I reckon if you dug up Paul Newman he'd still look better than any of us.

Whilst not a actor per say, I have to admit although she looks like a bit of plastic Dolly Parton looks very good for being 73 years young.
Although I detected some ageing over the last few years.
Isabelle Huppert

I watched "Greta" last year and I beg to differ! An attractive lady yes, but she looked a bit different in 1979-80 in Heaven's Gate. As is normal
In reply to Chive Talkin\':
I fear that this, by about 22:30 tonight, will have been corrupted into an "I still would" list. Hope to be proven wrong.

Possibly could be. Although I don't fancy Patrick Stuart or Brian Blessed.
😂
Although I'm sure they are smashing people .

Agree Al. Looked and still looks stunning.

Weeeeeeell I don't think she's anything to shout about

In reply to Hat Dude:
We can't all have the same tastes which is probably just as well but I'm sure you'll agree she is a step or two up from Brian Blessed

Ian McShane isn't bad till he opens his mouth wide enough to reveal the most garish set of clappers in TV and film. Or maybe it's just the contrast with his skin tone.

Not an actor but a TV presenter. Simon Reeve. Over 50 but looks about 30.

Nicole Kidman - she doesn't look like she has aged, how much surgery though?
At what age is the "tipping" point for starting to look "old" - 55ish? Up until them most people retain how they have looked from mid twenties (give or take a few pounds) but after that age seems to creep in on most of us - or is that just one of my crazier musings?

It's really just people that you remember that never seemed to look much different or never age . No real rules to the thread . It's just one long musing really.

do you think you could get him to make a special guest appearance on UKC?
That Havers chap did quite well

Have you seen “AquaMan”?
In reply to Blue Straggler:
> Have you seen “AquaMan”?
No, but a quick google shows me pictures of a wrinkle free Nicole Kidman - a lot of surgery then - if so fair enough, she doesn't look too plastic with it - yet
In reply to subtle:
Aha my point was that in the early scenes in Aquaman, she plays a young version of herself; similar CGI "de-ageing" technology as used on Will Smith in Gemini Man, Samuel L Jackson and Clark Gregg in Captain Marvel etc, is used.
Except the mid-to-late-20s de-aged Kidman in Aquaman really does not look like the mid-to-late-20s Kidman of real life 20-25 years ago. It was a weird thing to see, for anyone that remembers (for example) The Peacemaker.
For further confusion, look up Kidman in "Destroyer" where she also plays a younger version of herself in flashbacks, and a heavily haggard wizened make-up-job in the "present day" narrative of that film.
Through most of her forties Kidman was (rather bitchily) accused of having "over-Botoxed". People seem to have got over that now and maybe she has had a lot of it reversed. Her career seems to be in a flourishing third phase now, after somewhat languishing for a while.
In reply to Blue Straggler:
Ah, got you - I really need to watch more films then
(my going to the cinema rate is once every two years, hmm)
In reply to Chive Talkin\':
I saw the first episode of the 'Good Omens' tv adaptation last night - instead of ageing, David Tennant seems to be changing into Bill Nighy.

> How's the Lake District demographic recently?
I think you've confused me being a racist with me suggesting that changing something special to better accommodate a specific section of society, to the detriment of what we already have, is a bad thing.
But fine.
Tarmac it all.
Build a gondola and a zip wire on it. Fill Grasmere with house boats.
All under the guise of 'multiculturalism'. It's nothing to do with multiculturalism. It's profiteering.
Anyone can come and enjoy the lakes as it is. There are no barriers. It's 2020.
Shove it Tim
