Y’know, when I was getting my hair cut last week and was asked what I wanted, I joked, “Just make me look like George Clooney.” The women laughed and said “Remember George Clooney? ” What the heck? Is he some figure out of the past?
I wonder if they meant the Clooney haircut that used to be popular – the Ceasar style that he popularized?

I think she’s a set of veneers, a bottle of hair dye, and some expensive makeup away from looking like this .
Ah, I wasn’t aware of this. I’m lucky I didn’t end up with that cut!

Ha! This was who I thought of when I saw the thread title.
Ricardo Montalban .
Hugh Laurie
(BTW, it just occurred to me that, based on the younger pic of Hugh Laurie, if they’d ever made a live-action Muppet Movie, he’d be a shoo-in for Beaker. :D)
That Barbra Streisand picture reminded me of another candidate - Prince. Prince as a young dude - nothing wrong with the way he looks, but this is Prince as a much older dude - yowza! He should really consider aging at some point, since he’s in his fifties.
That is one photoshopped picture of Hugh Laurie. Try this or this . Also, see post #17 .

Yes, several hundred million in the bank does that for you
Robert Downey Jr. looks much better now in his 40’s.

I was watching Raising Hope and thought how much better Martha Plimpton looks today than when she did when she was younger.
Goonie’s Martha. and Raising Hope Plimpton.
Holy shit, he looks like Gollum in that first one. I’m so mean, I can’t stop giggling at it. To be fair, that is the other end of the spectrum from the Photoshopped one - clearly caught at a bad time, while making a goofy face. So if he’s that bald, they do an awfully good hairpiece for him on the show!
I always thought Richard Dreyfuss looked better as he aged. American Graffiti and Jaws , versus later in life .
Watching Fringe, I’m thinking Joshua Jackson will only look better and better as he ages. He’s handsome, but he definitely still has something of a babyface about him. When he gets craggier, he will be hotter.
Yeah, I figured that’s pretty airbrushed, but on House he looks pretty damn good to me most of the time.
I thought he was seriously goofy looking when he was younger.
Never mind … he’s not over 40 yet.

To be fair, Up in the Air was almost two whole years ago!
