So who said that only young people can be good-looking? Witness Diane Lane, Sophia Loren, Paul Newman, Clint Eastwood. Even old age can be beautiful, with a patina of dignity, class and poise that youth hasn’t had time to master. Having said that, and making exceptions for genetics, a man who works out hard and is not predisposed to male-pattern baldness should have a full and healthy head of dark hair at 40. It has to do with keeping your blood flowing. You don’t see many 40ish bodybuilders going grey. He is good-looking, but he doesn’t look good for his age. His aging is not accelerated, it just hasn’t been properly combatted. We should fight it every freaking step of the way. Put it this way: though I’m not one of his fans, Tom Cruise is 55 years old. Put him next to Pine. Have them run a mile footrace. Admittedly, Tom must have made his personal trainer a multimillionaire, but you get my point. The human body will rust out before it will wear out.

Combated? At his age there shouldn't be so much to combat yet.

I didn’t say he had “a lot” to fight, but it’s never too soon to start. My friend, I have learned with the benefit of hindsight and time that it is a constant battle. Studies have found that the younger a person is when s/he embraces a fitness lifestyle, the more likely s/he is to maintain it and benefit from it. It becomes a habit, like brushing one’s teeth, or saving and investing for retirement. You really can’t start too soon, but it’s almost never too late to
start. Let’s forget about good looks—cosmetics—for a moment. The purpose of fitness is good health, of which physical appeal can be an ancillary benefit. Absent good health, a person MAY have a legacy to leave posterity, but not much else.
