To keep things balanced:
Jon Voight.
Marlon Brando. No. 1 in this category.
Kathleen Turner.
Hot as a torch in “Body Heat.” Ten years later, looked like an NFL linebacker.
Must learn to read…
Corey Haim and Corey Feldman.
Wait a minute, they’re as great as they ever were. What am I thinking?
Rock on!
John Travolta. All I can say is Yikes!
Robert Redford…it breaks my heart seeing him now…
Michael Douglas
Bruce Willis. However, I never thought he was all that and a six pack back in his salad days. Unfortunately now, though, he looks like a skid-row bum, only not as sober.
Arnold Swarzenegger. Wow. It was like one day, YUM-MEEE. The next day, ACK!
Michael Jackson. I don’t think I need to elaborate here.
Don Johnson. (insert vomit sounds here). Get a decade, Vice-Roy. Grampa Jones and you could be interchangeable at this point. See how well the ravages of booze and idiot women mark their place on your worn-out, looks-pretty-crappy-with-the-whiskers-now face?
Lee Majors. Six million bucks wouldn’t do it now on your life.
Guys usually tend to age better than women. But when they don’t, well, they are really the pits.
I’d hate to see Jim Carrey in about ten years. Talk about Jerry Lewis’s evil twin…
When I think of “actors who age badly” I always think of Robert Redford first. This dude must’ve done a helluva lot of tanning in his younger days. Oh. My. God.
Harrison Ford is getting there fast. Not quite there yet. He’s still pretty cute for an old guy.
Michael Douglas. Ick! What’s up with the jowls, man?? If you’re gonna have a young babe like Catherine Zeta Jones (And I STILL don’t know how to explain THAT relationship. Blech!), you need to have a friggin’ facelift! You can afford it!!
I personally do not care for Sean Connery either. Most women will spit on me and call me a blasphemer for that. He was a hottie when he was young, but now…Yeesh!. Part of it is that his whistly-lispy-S’s are more pronounced. Makes me shudder, and not in a good way. does he have badly fitting dentures or something?
I disagree with the opinion about Bruce Willis. For some reason I still think he’s drool-worthy. Mmm…bruce…

Connery is better now than he was then.
And Douglas has already had at least one major facelift, which has given him that freakish faux-human look.
Jan Micheal Vincent is the male embodiment of the word “Hag”, after being gorgeous as a young man. Another (semi-obscure) one that fell completely to pieces after being an exquisitely beautiful young man is Leonard Whiting, who played Romeo in the 1968 Zefferelli film. I saw a picture of him in People about 6 years ago and he looked like a really bad and tubby Phil Collins. Yipes.
And I so don’t get the Robert Redford votes. He’s just not baby-faced anymore, now he’s a ruggedly handsome older man.
Mr. Blue Sky trumped me with Jon Voight. Oh man!
Marlon Brando. Orson Welles. Beau Bridges – and, arguably, his brother Jeff. And don’t get me started on the Baldwin brothers!
Last but not least, Jack Nicholson.
Anyone feel like guessing who, of today’s hot young faces, will fare badly also? Leo DiCaprio? Done deal!
Clint Eastwood. Don’t get me wrong, the guy still has one of the most interesting faces on the planet, but when he was young he looked like a kind of a “young old guy” if you know what I mean. Now he is DR OLD FROM OLD CITY, CAPITAL OF OLDLAND.
And he wears his belt above his waist. Old man. Really cool old man, I mean REALLY, but there’s no fooling us with a Shatner (corset and wig) combination here.
The guy who plays Angel, David Boreanaz (sp?). He’s what, thirty? He looks like he’s pushing fifty.
To be fair, Mark Hamill was involved in an accident that pretty much ruined his looks. It’s why he retired from before-the-camera work for a while.
Robin
Ditto on Robert Redford. Really, Stoid, what are you thinking, woman? (Blond men should only be lifeguards, doncha know.) He’s looking so yellowy tannish…blech definitely fits.
Ditto again on Michael Douglas. He used to be such a hottie, too. Now, don’t you just wonder if Catherine makes him turn off the light when he walks into the room? ::shudder::
Ditto one more time on Jan Michael Vincent. Another one lost to booze and beatings.
Now, this one I haven’t seen yet. Yeah, he still looks good, which is obviously the problem. I mean, doesn’t it make you think “Portrait of Dorian Gray” when you even think the name…Dick Clark?
Oh yeah, Mickey Rourke.
I don’t think anybody expected how wholeheartedly he would embrace sleaze culture. Oh well, Barfly was good.
I don’t think Arnold or Lee Majors or many of these other guys look that bad. They are the age they are. What’s the big deal? They look fine, for a guy that is XX years old. That’s what I say.
As far as Mark Hamill, he has aged*…differently…*, but he doesn’t look that bad. I just saw him last night in the most delightful film, 1999’s “Walking across Egypt”, where he plays a small town’s local dog catcher. He looks about 40 (and I think he is over 40) and he looks like a …dog catcher. He doesn’t look much like Luke anymore, but damn - he looks like a non-unattractive, 40 year old dog catcher! What’s so lamentable about that? Why can’t these people be allowed to look their age?
Ditto the rather obscure reference to Leonard Whiting. He starts to look a bit seedy (and far older than his 20-something years) in the TV Movie “Frankenstein: The True Story”. He looks A LOT older than his years just a few years later, in another film whose name I cannot remember. And he was probably the most beautiful young man I’d ever seen, in “Romeo and Juliet”.
Julian Sands. Absolutely stunning in A Room With A View, but now …
