if you are a fan of some star . . . an odd question about photos . . .
Maybe even little celebrity crushes....

Anyway, I like Jodie Foster. I just looked at about 100 photos of her, from "Taxi Driver" to now. I find that the photos I like best are the recent ones. Like us all, she is aging. Those are the photos I like best.

Do you like any movie stars, and if so, do you like photos of them when they were young and gorgeous, or how they are now?

(a side of me you never knew? :blush:)

2. I also like the more recent Jodie Foster
She is a beautiful woman, and up until very recently, she still looked like a teenaged girl.

3. I have a huge crush on Julian Mcmahon
Edited on Sun Mar-26-06 10:22 PM by Liberalynn
I actually prefer photos of the way he looks now as compared to the ones I have seen of his younger modeling days. He was handsome then too but he has definitely gotten better with age.

He's been especially hot since his "Profiler" days in the early 90's.

I don't know maybe it is just me but even when I was a teen, I always thought guys in their thirties, were at their height of attractivenes. That's not to say guys younger or older aren't great looking too, but the one's in their thirties, always seem to have an added appeal.

Of my previous celeb crushes, Rick Springfield, though he has a few more laugh lines than he used to, still looks pretty good to me, and I still enjoy pictures of him, but prefer the younger ones.

and Kevin Sorbo aka Hercules and Dylan Hunt, I much prefer the HerK look. With him I don't think it was so much aging that made him loose some of his appeal to me, but more that he lost way too much muscle and weight. The bones and veins show too much now in his forehead. Yucky. Plus I admit it, I miss that long hair he used to sport. So I kind of really dislike new pics of him, and would rather glory in his old HerK shots. Man he was gorgeous. :evilgrin:

Okay all JMHO.
:hi:

6. I think its the idea
that aging shows they are human and vulnerable... That often appeals to us in celebrity crushes.

I find that the celebrities I find most attractive, either remind me of someone I know, or look like they could be your neighbor. Once again, human and attainable.

I can't get into the kewpie doll/made up Paris Hilton look.

11. Some people age well, that is for sure
Of the celebrities I like, Eastwood is one I think looked better then. The others that I like, I like both then and now. I think I look at the pictures in the context of that person's career.

12. Neil Finn is just as gorgeous as when first saw him in 1986
In some ways, even more gorgeous. His boyish cuteness has been tempered with very sexy crows feet around his eyes.

As a younger man (late 80s)


More recently
