And you must be attracted to them in their current state, no fair saying “so-and-so, but back when she was in her prime!” Whose old bones would you jump right now? ---

Faith Hill ETA: She’s 42. Please, no debates on whether she is “old”. My answer fits the OP’s question. 🙂 ---

Robert Duvall, in a heart beat. Especially if he wore a cowboy hat and talked like Gus McCrae. I’d do Tom Hagan too, if I had to ;). Turned 79 yesterday, I think. ---

I want Gene Wilder, age 76. And if he’s not in the mood, Harvey Keitel, age 70. ---

Leonard Nimoy is still smoking hot to me. He’ll be 79 in March. ---

Lisa Kudrow, 46, beats out Sandra Bullock (45) and Kristin Chenoweth (41) on age. I’d tumble any of 'em. 😃 ---

Susan Surrandon’s still hot, at 63. I’d hit it. For some reason, I’m having a harder time with men. I have an inexplicable crush on Deforest kelly, up until about Star Trek II (after which he becomes a cute old man who I don’t want to sleep with - no, I don’t get it either), but as he’s dead now, I’m not sure that he fits the OPs criteria. But if he does, I believe he was 62 at the time. ---

Jane Goodall. Seriously, I thought she was really cute when she was young and I thinks she’s still attractive. ---

> [@HISSNLISSN](#): > > Fran Drescher, 53 > Tilda Swinton, 50 I was gonna say Tilda Swinton, she’s hot. I met her in person and she’s hot. Though Susan Sarandon is older, so I might have to go with Susan Sarandon. After Susan Sarandon I’ll put down Sigourney Weaver. ---
