No one has mentioned Jon Bon Jovi. Caught a few of the old videos the other day, he looks fantastic now. Way better than in the mid-90’s. As for women, Christy Brinkley looks better now. And I may not be famous (except in my own mind) but I look better now, in my early forties than I did in my twenties. ---

Sharon Stone is aging extremely well. ---

It would have been easier to reply to “Who is looking more awful with age”. I don’t prefer the old Sean Connery; he was a babe when he was younger. Robert Redford just looks awful to me now…all tan and wrinkly and icky. Bleh. Michael Douglas looks bad too—those jowls!! George Clooney is looking hotter as he gets older. The younger Tom Cruise never did it for me, but he’s looking better with some character lines/wrinkles on his face. Harrison Ford still looks pretty good, but his nose is becoming a weird shape as he gets older. That’s all I can think of for now. ---

I have to say Demi Moore. I was never really a big fan of hers. But I must say after seeing the Charlie’s Angel’s tralior, she is stunning at 40! ---

I think Harrison Ford definitely improved with age–however, I haven’t found him as attractive for the past couple years. Of course, that’ just me… > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by BuckleberryFerry \* > \*\*WHAT?! > No Harrison Ford? > > Come on, people!

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Cholo \* > **Joe Perry looks 100% better than he did in the late 70’s.** I agree, he is one cool-lookin mofo these days. A lot of people would say the same about Mr. Tyler as well. He was kinda goofy looking in the 70s, pretty cool now, I 'd say. ---

Oh, and I meant to second Sean Connery and Harrison Ford. Susan Sarandon and Patricia Quinn (Janet and Magenta from RHPS) are doing pretty well for themselves, I think. ---

I’ve always found **Elizabeth Hurley** to be better looking in recent photographs than those taken of her when she was in her 20s. ---

The reason more men are listed is because that as men age, they start to look more and more like Sean Connery, and as women age, they start to look more and more like Sean Connery . ---

I forgot my #1 choice – **Richard Gere**. Twenty years ago, he was just a pretty boy – these days, I think he’s quite scrumptious. ---

Diane Lane is pretty friggin hot these days Bruce Willis seems fitter than he was in Moonlighting and the bald look kinda works for him. ---

Elizabeth Hurley and Diane Lane are both only getting hotter as they get older. Harrison Ford on the other hand… he had his plateau around **The Last Crusade**. Actually, he was doing pretty well until he left his wife of 20 years, shacked up with someone half his age and started regularly making the tabloids. It’s just such a typically middle aged male actor/rockstar thing to do that it dropped my respect for him as a person down to 0. I guess it’s because one of my childhood heroes (I was going to be Indiana Jones when I grew up) turned into my dad. He’s started to look like someone desperately clinging to youth rather than aging gracefully. Also, in all the recent interviews I’ve seen with him he’s sounded half stoned. ---

Must the celebrity still be alive? If not, I’d say that no one could beat Cary Grant at this game. The man got only more stunningly handsome with age. I believe he was kind of a health nut, so maybe that had something to do with it.
