Actors who got better looking after 40


Some actors hit the big time after 40 and really grew into their looks.

I think that Robert Downy Jnr and Anthony Hopkins are two men that are more striking and therefore better actors with a more mature face.

Any others?

Rebecca Romijn
Rachel Weisz
Lena Headey

Yes to all of these!

Just watched AJ and the Queen and I will add Tia Carrere. I don't know if I would say she looks better, but I still think she looks good.

** patiently waits for sslssg's AJ review **

I've just finished the 3rd episode. Was going to give it a couple more before giving my opinion just in case something changes.

Aniston looks good for 50 but no chance she is better looking than her 28-30yo self

reply

I think it is relative to how old I am. I honestly think she looks better now. Just like I thought that Tricia Helfer looked better in Lucifer than in Battlestar.

reply

Makes sense. She is definitely a great looking older woman, no doubt. Interestingly, Rachel Weisz hasn´t aged a day in 20 years.

I first read that last bit as: "Line up in front of my bed".

reply

I wouldn't mind that line up either. Hahaha!

reply

Sharon Stone for sure. She'd look good dead in a coffin. Joking.

Wesley Snipes
Will Smith
Regina Hall
Matthew McConaughey
John Leguizamo
Steve McQueen

I’d also go with Robert Downey Jr.
He is the first who came to my mind.

It’s incredible how much better looking he got since he became Iron Man. I think George Clooney also fits in this category and Brad Pitt looked so good at Golden Globes.

So yeah that’s my top 3 men who looks better with Age

Robert Downey Jr.
George Clooney
Brad Pitt

Robert is most definitely at the top of this list. I NEVER found him attractive when he was younger. He was almost geeky really. He's definitely a butterfly!!

reply

I hace now a huge crush on him, all girls swooning over Chris Hemsworth and Evans but for it was all about RDJ.

I do find the chrises very attractive and even Paul Rudd and Sebastian Stan.
But for me the Hottest man of the MCU is RDJ he was at his best in Iron Man 2

reply

Paul Rude is definitely surprisingly handsome for a plain Joe.

reply

Steve Carell, the salt and pepper thing he's got going is a masterpiece

reply

Rene Russo
Jennifer Conley

They are both like wine, they get better with time.

I just remembered another one. Patrick Dempsey. I never found him the least bit attractive in his younger days. But wow, did he hunk up big-time!!!!

Back during the 2016 summer olympics I was surprised to learn that the inspiration for the song The Girl from Ipanema, Heloísa Pinheiro, was in her 70s.
