Ed Harris was only 45 when he made this


Could easily pass as 55.

that would make him about 65 when he made absurd bank heist farce "man on a ledge"

... but he looked about 90!

Just reading "man on a ledge" churns my stomach.

oh dont get me started ... dumbest plot ever ....

I was thinking about what my reply would be -- this is verbatim -- pondering and thanking the universe that I almost do even remember the plot of the film | but it only took two more seconds for my brain to ReCall, ReCall :/

Just the thought of being happy that I didn't remember the plot of the film caused me to remember the plot of this film. The universe pulled one on me tonight lol

its ok ... this is a safe space ...
nobody going to make you watch that movie again

He's always looked older than he is. He was 39 in Abyss. That's only a year older than me and he looks a decade older.

reply

What? No he wasn't! What?

Thought he was like in his mid 40s. Damn! I guess going bald does age you.

I don't even know why I'm THAT surprised. I remember how Fucking old Wayne Rooney (soccer player) looked in his freaking 20s just cause he was balding.

reply

That's what 45 looks like, if you're a manly man who doesn't bother with sunblock, facials, botox, facelifts, fillers, and all the other things that Hollywood actors do to keep looking artificially young.

And that's why Ed Harris is still playing manly men in his seventies, while actors like Tom Cruise are aging into something that looks like a naked mole rat.

Tom Cruise at 60, looking more like a naked mole rat than ever, because he's trying to look like he did in 1985. Hey, the botox, fillers, facelifts, dermabrasion, lasers, nips, and tucks worked for him when he was 45, why shouldn't they work for him now?

So, being a "manly man" means you cant take care of your body?

And Cruise looks great for 60. He can still reel in pussy half his age. I doubt Harris could if he weren't rich.

reply

Oh, Harris has always taken damn good care of his body, he's always been lean and muscular, and BTW the face that his body fat percentage has always been very low is one reason his face is on the haggard side.

So athletic fitness is manly, but facial de-aging procedures are proof of pussification! No, a manly man does what Ed Harris has done, he lets the wrinkles bloom ifas they will, and if anything wanted to sag he'd let it, but he's too lean for any sagging because he's MANLY!! Which means he's still working, while all the Malibu Lizard People have had their faces ruined by plastic surgeons and dermatologist's fillers.

Tom Cruise have HAIR. He don’t drink, eats healthy, don’t smoke etc

reply

Tom Cruise has hair plugs.

No, really. He got them somewhere around the 1990s.

I see it!

reply

LOL…..If every actor and actress that used procedures and fillers, thickening powders….pancake make-up…..dyes….plastic surgery….extensions….bronzers….lipo, etc…….were to all of a sudden vaporize, Hollywood would be a ghost town.

I don’t fault any of them for trying to keep up with their competition…..and with fighting Father Time in an industry which scrutinizes, criticizes and places way too much importance on looks….and youth.

These boards prove my point.

reply

That may be true, but Tom Cruise is Scientology positive :/
