He's starting to look middle aged

I always saw him as Loki, and Loki looks young, like mid-20s.

So I was shocked to see him looking almost middle aged when he arrived in Australia.

I was like "who is this older guy Taylor is with"?

He is turning 36 in Feb, so just 4 years off 40, and this is the age when most men start to transition to their "middle aged look". It's also when a lot of actors careers dry up as a result, especially those who have built their career playing young characters.

Actors like Leonardo Dicaprio and Jake Gyllenhaal seem to have known of this trap and started playing characters much older in their 20s.

My advice to Tom, save every penny you have!

I think his lack of gravitas is going to sink him faster than his looks. He should have tried for heavier roles other than a Loki every few years. Its not too late, but as you say, he can't get there playing 20-somethings, because those days are over.]

Heavier roles. Like I Saw the Light. Like High-Rise. Like Henry V. You really need to hold back from displaying how clueless you truly are. 😎
