Ladies, is he the male equivalent of Bridget Fonda?


As you may know, Bridget Fonda, who was a major Hollywood sex symbol in the 1990s is now middle-aged and quite obese. Many Gen X guys who enjoyed seeing her back then are dismayed.

Do you ladies feel the same way about James Spader being portly and bald now?

Bumping as really curious to hear women's thoughts on this.

I have seen films he did in his 'prime' and did not find him at all attractive. Even way back then, he looked like soft white bread to me. No appeal.
From that vintage, I prefer the Clive Owen look.

Thanks, it seems you like a more masculine look. Spader was a bit of a pretty boy back in the day. He always reminded me a little of Robert Redford as in they both looked like college frat boy types.

I recently saw a very young Redford on The Twilight Zone playing Death come to fetch an elderly shut-in lady. He had bone structure like a lost Michelangelo statue.

I just looked it up and yes I can see what you mean.
