Her Looks vs Her Age Only An Issue In Hollyweird
There's been a lot of talk here about how old Connie Britton looks in her most recent shows. Only in the shallow world of Hollywood is this an issue. And BTW, my guess is, despite the number of men here who have been posting about how she looks older than her current age of 46 or 47, that if Miss Britton were to approach them in a bar, they'd be all over her. Only in their dreams, of course. It must suck being an attractive actress in Hollywood. You simply aren't allowed to age normally like every other schlub on the planet. You either get grief from the business or from the public if you happen to not appear 25-years old for your entire career. There was a story in the Hollywood press not too long ago about Kristen Stewart dropping out of a film because Will Smith was being cast as her love interest. Stewart claimed that she was dropping out because she thought that the age gap between the two of them would not be believable. I call BS on that one, BTW, and think something else is going on (?) because prior to Will Smith, Ben Affleck was cast in the same role and both men are nearly the same age, as well as being about 20 years older than Stewart. But isn't it weird that Hollywood always pairs up a 40-something leading man with a 20-something lead actress? Almost never does the lead couple in a movie happen to be the same age. Anyway...People will say, "Well, that's just how Hollywood works. They have to put attractive people on the screen or no one will watch." And to that I say, "Not ALL of us are shallow morons."
I, for one, happen to think Connie Britton looks stunning. I've always liked her, going all the way back to her first credited film role in The Brothers McMullen. I'm in my early 40s and I'm not currently involved, but I sure wouldn't want my girlfriend or wife to feel so insecure about her looks that she would resort to cosmetic surgery or other artificial means of appearing young. Gimme real over fake any day. Allow nature to take its course.
