    Yeah, this was something I noticed in the Sean Connery thread. Sure, skin care, reduced smoking, and everything else makes it possible to look younger than people used to, but Tommy there is some kind of damn alien.

    Maybe his secret is powdered milk?

    Reminds me of an old Hollywood story.

    Joe was an actor. When he was 12 he could still play six year olds; when he was 20 he could play twelve; he was still playing teens and college kids well into his 40s. At sixty he could still play romantic leads with women a third his actual age.

    When he was 75 the Academy awarded him a Lifetime Achievement award. He came out to thunderous applause.

    He walked up to the podium and said, “None of you is clapping because I’m a great actor. You’re all happy that I finally look my age!”

      It’s a deliberate thing to make men feel less than. You see everyone’s feelings are tools to be manipulated and messed with. This kind of thing is intended to target those fragile in the masculinity department.
