I LOVE Redford as an actor. In his prime he was very
attractive, though never classically handsome.
He had the "it" factor: great looks, nice physical
shape, good hair, talent, integrity and he chose
great projects. Politically I often agree with him, too.
But, he aged badly. I remember I could already see
in his prime, that he had skin that would age
horribly, but I could never have foreseen that he
would end up looking like this!
Granted, the man is 71 (or 70) but yikes, time has
not been kind to dear Bob. Nor has the plastic
surgeon (rather butcher) who botched his eyelid
correction.
What makes it worse for me, is that Bob seems to
have a hard time aging gracefully. His greying hair
dyed an alarming shade of orange is proof of that.
Gosh, makes one wish one could turn back the
hands of time.
PS: this is not a post against aging (hey, I'm getting
on in years myself!) nor a statement that old is ugly
or that everyone over 21 should stop the hands of
time through artificial means such as PS. It's just an
observation that some of the prettiest faces of the
past are not blessed in the aging department.
PS2: And when the heck did Bob shrink to the size of
that big nosed midget Cruise?
