Ralph looked like a skinny 17 year old in Karate kid 2 (he was 25 then). If you bother to look at the comments on his videos and forums you'll see that the majority, 90% or more, say he looked like a teenager during those movies and people are impressed with his youthful appearance. I think you're just being way too harsh. Also, his grandmother is 96 or older? So his youthful appearance might be genetics; and he says he tries to stay young...

Lou Ferrigno at 60: http://cupofzup.com/...ou-ferrigno.jpg

[Adaptogen]

If Ferrigno has had no cosmetic surgery then he is doing pretty well, considering he practices the opposite of CR...he looks a bit older in some other pictures though

Hmm. This is a 2012 pic of Ferrigno I found on wikipedia:



He looks 60 to me.

[JohnD60]

I think LouF looks 51 now. But it is even more impressive if you consider that when he was 20 he looked 30. His full head of hair is extraordinary for a life long steroid user.

[Adamzski]

Those pictures look so different, the first one would be a great look to have at 60, Lighting can make such a difference but not that much. Must be fillers, probably sculptra or something.

Great example pics, the upper cheek volume and general all over volume in the first pic takes 15yrs off him

AC Milan's Leonardo is 43 years old






Leonardo in 1994:

Rick Springfield was 60 years old when he did Californication

[JohnD60]

Leonardo looks 35 to me. The hair makes him look a lot younger.
.
Re Rick Springfield: Everyone looks younger with a clean shaven chest and studio lighting. Looking at his other pictures, he still looks young though, even in his mug shot. I'd say he looks 10 years younger than his age. Very similar to Leonardo, great hair makes him look a lot younger. My hair never looked that good.

[marcobjj]

yeah. Not having a single grey follicle helps, but I also think Leonardo has pretty good skin for someone whose professional life was playing soccer outdoors.

the pic of Rick Springfield isn't a very good one to judge, the video is better. It's very impressive how young he is in looks and attitude.

[VidX]

R.Springfield is VERY impressive, in his looks and general demeanour (like of a much younger person), it adds up. He probably had some work done, fillers, botox, etc.. but that's still good. I just realized that many people in their 60s start to look 20years younger currently.. It's just a begining.. and it's happening, slowly, but surely. Soon 60 will be a new 40 (in a PHYSICAL sense).. that's nice.

[1kgcoffee]

He has the neck and eyes of 60 year old if you look closely. Very wrinkly. Clearly some help from modern medicine for his face.

There's a guy at my gym in his 50's who could pass for 30. It's not uncommon if you have good genes and look after yourself. Compared to the average beat-to-shit 60yo, Mr Springfield look great, but that is a very low bar.

[Mind]

His neck really shows it. There is cosmetic surgery for that as well, maybe he will read this thread and fix that part of his appearance, lol. Modern cosmetic surgery is pretty awesome for helping people look superficially younger. It isn't true rejuvenation of course, but I don't discount the psychological effect of "getting work done". When you look in the mirror and see a younger face/body (from cosmetic surgery) it is probably an emotional lift and makes a person act younger as well.

[Adamzski]

what about this guy, the girl is 21 and the guy 35

after a certain age you kind of have to let go.

Sly looks like an animatronic these days, I'd rather look more natural like Rick Springfield.

Christie Brinkley at 58 probably the most impressive of all

Edited by marcobjj, 03 February 2013 - 07:28 PM.

[Mind]

Christie Brinkley....must have the same plastic surgeon as Cindy Jackson. Very young looking for her age.

what about this guy, the girl is 21 and the guy 35

The guy seems to be doing well to combat the outward aspects of aging. The dude should become a member of LongeCity.

[JohnD60]

Re Christie Brinkly: yes amazing looking for late 50s. I posted her earlier in the thread. I would say she looks 18 years younger than her real age. Will probably join the magic >20 club in a few years.
Re 'guy 35': I don't comment anymore on anyone under 40, as they are outside of my scope of recent experience. His smile seems oddly familar. 'girl 21' looks a lot older than 21 to me, but again, outside of my comfort range.
Re sly: Looks good for his age, but odd. A member of the bad/excessive brow lift club with Kenny Rogers, Bruce Jenner, Mickey Rourke. Sly is also a well establish PED user.

[Matt]

Christie Brinkley looks amazing for her age!

35 year old looks 26-27
21 year old looks 20


I've estimated the age for hundreds of photos on a website before and I was +/- 2 years out with my guesses. So I wasn't that bad at guessing what is the age for your average person. ;p People on here are unusually harsh critics. Even with blurry photos our brains are still able to recognise and estimate age very well. I also think also that people can look much better in real life than in photos.

Thanks:) I'm happy with 26-27 but in a not so good photo or after little sleep I look about just over 30, its my under eyes that are a problem I may get some filler there.
The Japanese girl is very hot and very skinny(ages her a little), she has more of a womanly look than a baby face look but I would guess around 20-22 no more than that.
I know that I do look some younger than my age as Asian people are usually surprised at my age and they are used to a totally different scale on the age guessing.
This last two years I went through a few bouts of months long extreme depressed alcoholism and extreme nonstop partying at other times, even a few months of starvation (not by choice haha) but throughout this time I have done a few peels, moisturised most of the time and also had a few bouts of really looking after myself... Vitamin C topically, a bottle of C60, Retin-A, Snail cream, Syn-Ake, HA Serum, all kinds of things even a hit of botox around the crows feet area that has all faded away now.. This last month I have just moisturised and ate well, have drank but only to extremes a couple of times and I have tried to stick to red wine only.


and wow Christie Brinkley looks extremely good She looks really happy and just stunning but if you are going to look 20yrs younger you have to look a little unnatural.
If I can look 30 when I am 40 I will be very happy.

And Mind, I will join sometime!

Wow, has the Snail Cream and Syn-Ake worked? I just looked up what they are... Pretty interesting...

Yikes. You'd think that a guy with Sly's money and connections could get more natural-looking hair transplants. (can't believe I'm posting in this thread- it's like a car crash that I can't turn away from...)

[marcobjj]

is that a hair transplant? I was sure that that line on his forehead was scar tissue from the recently done facelift.

hmm, you're probably right. He does have unreasonably good hair for an old fart. must be a lot of technology there. Dye at the very very least, but I'm guessing more than that.

The snail cream seems to do something, its an eye cream but I use it all over, it does not moisturise but I think it reduces wrinkles and smoothes skin some

but the s-venom, I can see immediate results from it,
it has 4% Syn-Ake shea butter, olive oil, sunflower oil, mango seed butter, meadowform seed oil, adenosine, HA, beta glucan, allantoin, copper tripeptide, human oligopeptide-1
Thats a shopping list of stuff that most western cosmetics would include just a single one of as their active ingredient. Korean ppl really expect a lot of any kind of cream,
http://english.gmark...r=mizon s-venom
Around my place in Gangnam maybe 10% of women do not have some kind of surgery and around my office in sinsa-dong I have never seen a woman without at least double eyelid surgery, it is so strange to live somewhere that everyone looks perfect.

looks like glue to me

he's paisan. Al Pacino has got a head full of hair in his 70s



Frank Vincent could even shave his temples a bit

looks like glue to me

oh. so they actually glue in the implants??

[Adamzski]

probably a hairpiece

[JohnD60]

oh. so they actually glue in the implants??

actual hair transplants are inserted surgically with a punch tool. I believe hair weaves and extensions are glued in placed, but have no direct knowledge. From what I understand hair weaves are extremely popular (>50%) among hollywood women for public photo ops like the Oscars or a movie premier. I know John Travolta is almost bald, but always wears a hair piece in public, would not be surprised if Sly does the same.

[Adamzski]

Hair transplants are better these days but it is still impossible to give a NW4+ guy a full head of hair, need hair multiplication or stem cell therapy sometime in the future for that. Most actors would wear hairpieces as they do not know how far their baldness will go or if they would need to play a part with a shaved head in future. I think that almost all 40+ yo actors wear some kind of hairpiece.
I strongly suspect that this guy wears a hairpiece.



They can look perfect but are a lot of money and work..

You would think that Sly would have virtually unlimited resources and helpers.

[marcobjj]

^^is that you again Adam?
