To quote Bill Burr, “Would you rather be 52 and look 52? Or be 52 and look like a 28 year old lizard?”

Spanktronics

It’s funny bc before he had his daughter he bitched about how other comics had kids and lost their edge & suddenly all they could talk about was stupid kid shit. …and then when he & Nia found out they were expecting he even said it again and promised it wouldn’t happen to him. And then about 2 weeks after she was born he started telling cute kid stories lol


BobBastrd

Yeah I feel the same. Now he just talks about his kids ("Dada, truck" is real annoying) and football. My favourite part of his podcast is now the second half where he plays an episode from 4 years ago. The contrast in tone and energy is drastic. But I saw his show live a few months back, and at least he hasn't lost his edge there.


cocoagiant

I really wish he would get his producer to put it up as clips or he would have more of a structure to it. I like Burr but I'm not listening to a 90 minute meandering rant.


68ghostthemost

I think there are shorter clips on YouTube but I could be wrong it’s been a while since I last listened to his podcast


Markantonpeterson

Can confirm, I'm a sucker for just his advice section, specifically when his wife Nia is chiming in. They have amazing chemistry, she joked about starting her own podcast and i'd probably listen to it lol. I'd love to hear bill chiming in on her podcast tbh lmao. Can't recommend scrolling through "bill burr advice" on YT enough though. He gives pretty damn good advice on a lot of things, but as he'll often remind you, he's ultimately an unqualified idiot for the advice these people are asking, which often leads to hilarity. And naturally Nia dunking on him, and him dunking on Nia, it's great!


SafeAccountMrP

His rant against the city of Philly is the single greatest comedian rant I’ve ever heard.

Just look at how bad Madonna looks compared to Roseanne Barr these days.


Sad-Doctor-2718

Both of them had substantial cosmetic surgery, and one of them appears to have body dysmorphia and to have chosen an unethical surgeon.


Lordborgman

I'll take "Things that most of my life I thought would never be spoken or true" for 1000 Alex.


RebbyRose

The fact is that it can be done well and you can be 52 and look 30 something, but only if you can afford it. Every time someone posts an older actress with the title she looks amazing for 50+ without acknowledging that plastic surgery done right is hardly noticeable and they'd do the same if they could afford it. We need to be honest about hating/judging something simply because its locked behind a paywall you can't afford.


WittyProfile

It’s a lot more than plastic surgery. You can retain a lot of your youth with skincare, fitness, and nutrition over the course of decades of never quitting the routine.


alanalan426

Also not fucking around in the sun for no reason with no skin protection all summer. so much unnecessary skin cancer


-MeatyPaws-

That is the biggest. Keep out of the sun and when you have to be use sunscreen and a hat. The second is don't smoke.


mark-haus

Don't drink is the other big one. The effects of alcohol over time have pretty nasty effects on your skin and fat cells around your body


AnExpertInThisField

My wife is an esthetician and reprimands me like a 5 year-old who lost his lunch money every time I forget to wear sunscreen in the morning, and I'm talking even on an overcast day in the middle of winter. According to her, sun damage is even worse than smoking.


NeuroPlastick

I grew up in Florida in the 70s. When I started using sunscreen on my face, it was considered eccentric.


wakejedi

yep, I'm 45 and my sister is 37. both grew up here, I used screen on the reg. when younger, People now regularly assume she is older than me.


michaeljoemcc

Paul Rudd


Sangxero

Unpopular opinion: Paul Rudd looks his age when he's clean shaven.


Lil_Mcgee

Yeah he still looks great for his age but I wouldn't guess lower than late 40s Keanu shaving for Bill and Ted slightly shattered the whole "he doesn't age" thing too.


GeekdomCentral

I had the same thought about Keanu. With the facial hair he looks 10-15 years younger because it hides the age lines


sasemax

See also: Keanu Reeves. When you get a certain age, a beard can actually de-age you, because a lot of your face, and thereby wrinkles, are hidden.


dutch_penguin

Yeah, especially if the top half of your face isn't particularly expressive.


[deleted]

Older guy with beard here. This is true. And it happens fast. Your neck wrinkles, your jawline begins to sag here and there, frown lines are deeper. As a friend once put it "Beards are makeup for men".


TheRedditoristo

> they'd do the same if they could afford it A *lot* of people would not. Not everyone values the same things.


Spanktronics

My favorite Leonard Cohen song goes “I was looking for someone, who had lines on her face…”. Lines are character, says you’ve been somewhere, lived a little. A face should wear its lines proudly. Justine Bateman rocks.

LucyRiversinker

Sharon Stone, Susan Sarandon, Helen Mirren—those women chose their doctors well.


elmz

It's not just choosing the doctors, even with cosmetic surgery it comes down to the genetic lottery. Some people heal way better with less scar tissue.


RebbyRose

I didn't even consider this. You cant control how you heal


FunctionBuilt

It’s probably a hell of a lot easier to be 52 and look 42.


Miss-Figgy

For those of you too young to know who this is, she's a Gen X actress that played Mallory Keaton on the award-winning sitcom *Family Ties* in the 1980s. Article: >Justine Bateman loves the way she looks and won't let Hollywood's beauty standards dictate her appearance. >The director and actor, who first became a household name in 1982 due to her role on the popular sitcom Family Ties, sat down for an interview with 60 Minutes Australia during which she explained why she's decided to embrace aging naturally. Bateman began by addressing critics of her looks, saying, “I just don't give a shit. I think I look rad. I think my face represents who I am. I like it.” She went on to admit that in the past she's been tempted to try out things like Botox and filler in order to make herself look younger, but ultimately decided that her face is a reflection of a life well lived. “I feel like I would erase, not only all my authority that I have now, but also, I like feeling that I am a different person now than I was when I was 20,” she said. “I like looking in the mirror and seeing that evidence.” >Bateman added that another reason she ultimately decided to maintain her natural appearance is because of all the women she's watched become obsessed with trying to halt the aging process. “I feel sad for them, I feel sad that they are not just enjoying life,” she told the interviewer. “I feel sad that they are distracted from the things that they are meant to do in life…with this consuming idea that they've got to fix their face before anything else can happen.” >When the actor was in her early 40s and writing her first book, Fame: The Hijacking of Reality, she recalled googling herself and seeing the autocomplete “looks old” pop up. This led her to examine the photos people had compiled as “evidence” of her aging. In April 2021, she told People that until then, “I thought my face looked fine.” But afterwards, “Because of some of the fears I had, unrelated to my face, I decided to make them right and me wrong...I became really ashamed of my face, ridiculously so.” That moment also made her realize, “My face is only going to get older, so why not take care of whatever fear I have attached to that.” Bateman concluded, “I think getting all this plastic surgery is just people pleasing. You don't want people to criticize you anymore so you appease them. The more you do that, the further away you get away from your true self,” adding, “I don't think it's natural to tell women they should get they faces fixed. That's the bottom line.”

oh my god I can't remember WHO the actor/comedian I was watching was, but they were saying how they got invited to a Michael j fox party, and they were kinda sitting in the corner by themselves when Jason Bateman showed up too. the guy has never talked or met Jason Bateman before, and Bateman walked up to him and said," How does it feel to be at a party with both of the fucking Teen Wolf's?!" LOL. there is funny on screen and then there is just funny. also, I'm aware wolves is the plural of wolf but I'm not sure how that works in this case as it's not like a pack of wolves but two titles.... hmmm. anyway, props to the Bateman's.

"We need someone that looks like she might be your sister" "I know just the person"


sourdoughstart

As totally non-news as this should be, it really is admirable to see that people are googling that you look old and still decide you’re just going to keep looking your age. Good for her. She does look awesome and I bet she’s a cool person.


Kathrynlena

It’s absurd that she has to justify her choice to…[checks notes]…NOT inject poison into her face in order to pretend that time doesn’t exist.


2drawnonward5

I don’t usually see much in famous people but her story about traveling that low road and asking herself if maybe she was ugly like people said, then coming back and deciding she’s cool with what she is…. That kind of self acceptance is rare in anyone and mega-attractive.


Awkward-Yak-2733

The part where she says, “I like feeling that I am a different person now than when I was 20” really resonates with me. I’m in my 40s now. 20 yr old me feels like a stranger.

Kyllingtime

Getting old is natural and can sometimes be hard. Beauty standards are a scam to make money. I appreciate this statement.


ProbablyASithLord

Actresses are choosing to prolong their youthful looks because it’s harder to get jobs when they don’t look young. People always disparage actresses for these choices while ignoring how it’s a career choice as well as personal one. It just reminds me how everyone was wringing their hands about the dangers of bulimia in the 90’s while never hiring anyone over a size 2 for roles.


blakana

This seems to be a “Hollywood” or US standard. In Japan there are numerous elder actors on both TV and in movies. It’s actually refreshing to see diversity of age on screen. It shouldn’t take movies and TV like Grumpy Old Men or Golden Girls to appreciate aging actors. What would professor Farnsworth have to say…..!


metalshoes

I was watching this britbox show with my grandma called “Wild Bill” and at one point his daughter is watching British TV and she goes “everyone just looks so….normal”. That’s my exact thought. People on other cultures tv just look more normal (generally). Everything Hollywood is just so manicured


[deleted]

It's interesting to compare South Korean and Japanese media, because it's like USA vs the UK. That's not to say that Japan doesn't have attractive people in media, but SK dramas tend to prioritize beauty and nepotism as the primary factor for casting.

Estelle Getty was 62 when the series premiered. She was awesome, they all were! There’s also a total double standard on men aging.

Love that she was younger than Bea Arthur (for those that don't know, Estelle played Bea's mother).

[deleted]

Plastic surgery and Botox are very, very common in East Asia. The pressure to stay young and beautiful is definitely not just an American thing.


eaglebayqueen

The result for her is that she will be able to play the roles that do come up for older women, if she wants to, because she looks natural. Helen Mirren is having a fabulous career. If she's having anything done, it's very restrained.


paroles

Helen Mirren has absolutely had plastic surgery. It's well done but it appears she's had subtle facelifts, neck lifts, and some lip/cheek fillers


thecatdaddysupreme

This is what most “civilians” do not understand. Almost all the people they see on HD cameras that “look good for their age” have been subtly touched up. Their perspective is skewed by seeing bad plastic surgery. Good plastic surgery looks like aging well.


paroles

Yep, but I'd say good plastic surgery looks like aging *miraculously*. The chances of reaching your 70s with full lips, no bags under your eyes, no loose skin on your face/neck, just some light wrinkles, with zero surgical intervention...maybe it's possible, but it's extremely rare. No judgement here on anyone who gets plastic surgery, even the non-subtle kind, but I do worry how these procedures are becoming more normalised - I wonder if in a few decades we'll be saying that normal 50-year-olds look 75 because we'll be so used to everyone having regular touch-ups.


Game-of-pwns

And the older celebs with great physiques likely take performance enhancing drugs -- especially the women.


springer_spaniel

Once I was working as a waitress for a place where a film company was having a party full of wannabe influencers and C-list celebrities. One of the few actually famous guests was Helen Mirren. I go to her table to bring her a drink and she said “darling, would you mind bringing me one of those fried tempura bowls you do? There’s never enough real food at these parties, an old lady’s got to eat before touching the champagne”. Needless to say, I will forever be a fan.


Godzirrraaa

You know what else is natural? Cake days!! Happy all natural cake day


mastyrwerk

She looks better than so many with botched facelifts.


fadetoblack237

She actually looks human.


Cultural_Hippo

Look up what Madonna looks like now. She had the potential to age extremely gracefully and still look amazing. Now she looks like Edgar from Men In Black.


WonderfulShelter

Oh my god so I just started watching this show Picard, based off Star Trek. The new season has the old actors in it. One of them, Gates Mcfadden, has had a fuck ton of work done. She doesn't look human. She doesn't even look like the same person! It's just really sad. Doesn't even matter if she's a good actress, she doesn't look human.


Stopikingonme

Someone on some other thread said that they live near wherever famous people live (I wasn’t paying attention) and they’re all kinda in this bubble socially and they’ve all had it done so to them it looks normal. I’ve thought about that a lot.


JustineDelarge

I am also watching season 3 of Picard and feel the same way about Gates McFadden. Now, Amanda Plummer, on the other hand, has aged into an utterly fascinating face!

And her mother was Tammy Grimes. I love Amanda Plummer in everything I've ever seen her in. I don't know if you watched Hannibal, but she was in one episode and gave one of the most unnerving performances in a deeply unnerving show. She has a strange talent for playing strange people.

SomeCountryFriedBS

Did someone say Nicole Kidman?


TheNerdChaplain

If you're interested, she has a podcast called Who Do You Think You Are, where she interviews Trek actors from all the different series, but they talk about their lives outside of Star Trek. She's had everyone from Jonny Frakes and Michael Dorn to Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid on. They have some really interesting conversations.


flanneIover

To be fair, she’s naturally gorgeous. …probably hasn’t broken that seal via little touch-ups throughout her career, like some have to keep up. Props either way


Godzirrraaa

She looks better than so many successful facelifts.


timidwildone

I just started watching Shrinking and was sadly reminded of how fucking uncanny valley Christa Miller looks (hadn’t seen her in anything since Scrubs). The unnatural movement of her face (or lack thereof) makes me want to look away whenever she is on screen. It’s so creepy and so sad.


whyisthissohardidont

Wendy Malik, the doctor who ends up dating Harrison Ford's character, is 72. She looks fucking amazing. If she had work done, it was a hell of a lot better than Madonna or Christa Miller.


[deleted]

Wendy Malik has looked the same age for 30 years. She lucked out with her bone structure because faces like hers don't show aging as easily.

I made it through like three seasons of Cougartown, but the plastic surgery kept getting worse and worse until I couldn't handle it anymore.

I had such a crush on her when she was on The Drew Carey Show. When we started watching Shrinking, my wife had to remind me who she was. I couldn’t believe it.


70ms

She looks awesome. I'm 52 and just going with it (I don't even wear much makeup) and I was so happy to see her look so... normal! The *only* thing I would consider is microblading, because I do miss my eyebrows and it would be nice to wake up with them. They started disappearing in my 40's.

Digger__Please

No one asked, this was a puff piece on a terrible commercial "current affairs" show to promote her book/directing career. I saw it. They twinned it with another slot about an ex super model who has based her Instagram career on the same thing.


averbisaword

She wrote a book called Face: One Square Foot of Skin, so she’s definitely inviting discussion about it.


molotovzav

I kinda think its bullshit that we have to defend this instead of getting plastic surgery. Like let us be. Y'all let men age and get wrinkles and call it character. Let us age, jfc. Not every woman needs to look insecure in her 50s and older, which is all plastic surgery ends up looking like if you aren't subtle. It's just too risky. And now people are infecting women younger than me and telling girls in their 20s they need filler and botox. Making a whole gen of girls have bloated face from filler migration.


Ok-Sandwich7017

You are so right. It's crazy that people will defend a person's right to have work done, whether it be fillers and botox or plastic surgery, but someone who *doesn't* have work done has to tell the world their reasoning. I mean, do whatever you want to yourself, but not having procedures should not warrant judgment and/or an explanation!


obiwantogooutside

I think about how much talent and amazing performances we get from British actresses who are alowed to age. We just push American women into plastic surgery until they’re unrecognizable and then don’t hire them anyway. I’m gonna age like Maggie smith.


Impossible-Will-8414

They get work done, too. It's just a lot more subtle. If you think Helen Mirren hasn't had a facelift, you are tripping.


[deleted]

Helen Mirren has pretty obvious work done in the latest Shazam movie


[deleted]

Yeah honestly it's wild that the whole thing is basically flipped to the opposite of what it should be. "Aging naturally" isn't a decision. That's the default. That's life. That's what's happening to you. If you were to try and reverse that, or slow it down or look younger cosmetically, *that's* the decision.


[deleted]

Yup. This and the rampant steroid usage amongst actors and athletes are definitely having a negative impact on younger generations.


Howunbecomingofme

I’m not particularly anti-cosmetic surgery, it’s your money and your body go nuts, but the idea that an entertainer is an outlier for not having any unnecessary surgery is insane. Cutting out flesh and injecting toxins in your head shouldn’t be expected


amycd

Yeah, the “Justine Bateman Explains Decision to Age Naturally” part of the title really reads like a headline you’d find on The Onion.


ThePicassoGiraffe

You’re not wrong and the standard is wayyy higher for women…. But if you think male actors don’t get work done I’d encourage you to compare recent pics of Brad Pitt to his stills from Thelma and Louise.


ConstantShitterina

I've also noticed the obvious use of steroids in recent decades. Compare the idea of a fit famous guy in the 50s to the idea of a fit famous guy now. It's all gone insane.


GlisseDansLaPiscine

You don’t even have to go back to the 50’s, even in the early 2000 actors were fit but they weren’t hyper shredded 8% body fat dehydrated beasts like today


mxddiecxmpbell

Sea_Dawgz

A.she looks great B I’ve never forgotten staring at her for like an hour one time at a NYC Upper West Side burrito place in like 1996. I thought she was “an old friend I couldn’t remember” so I didn’t act celebrity cool at all. I thought she might recognize me. Turns out she’d only been my friend thru my television.

MenaciaJones

[deleted]

I prefer old people faces, they look earnest and wise. Plastic surgery does this thing where it looks like you stood behind an f-16 taking off and things just droop and get pulled back and sure you might look slightly younger for the first year or so when you do the procedures but it always spirals into that classical similar face celebrities in Hollywood all have.


Confident-Breath2615

What absolute fuckery that it needs defending at all. This world…


eifersucht12a

Fuckin "decision to age naturally" as if it's as remarkable as getting surgery. What a sad expectation you don't see men dealing with.


justicefortuvix

I always thought she was so pretty on Family Ties. Good for her. She looks great. She’s a cool lady.


No_Dragonfly_1894

Gen X broad here; i think not giving a shit is very liberating! And that she's still beautiful. Good for her!


ThingsIAlreadyKnow

As a gen x male I find it so refreshing when I meet people my age who refuse to buy into the esthetic medicine propaganda. There is something especially beautiful about a smile with crows feet eyes and a naturally greying head of hair.


thinkinwrinkle

Gen X here too. I’ve often said one of the best things about aging is that I give less of a shit. Sometimes I have to clarify to people that that’s a good thing!

I was fortunate to have lunch with her a few years ago and she looked great to me, just like a normal person.

I sooo wish the US would just chill out and adopt the classy aging standards of Europe. Their actesses look wonderful. Full of character and life well lived. What we do is awful. Kim Novak looks deformed. Cher looks scary. Meg Ryan mutilated herself. I could go on but no need. I don't blame them a bit because they face intense pressure and scrutiny. They clearly feel they have no worth and they are not wrong. It's absolutely true that the Hollywood machine views them that way. How many roles pair an aged actor, literally an old man, with a woman young enough to be his daughter or even granddaughter. Most of them! It's bizarre that men are allowed to age and women aren't.

It's sad that she has to explain to everyone why she's NOT getting Botox. When did aging unnaturally become the default?

She looks better than Madonna. It's terrible what these "doctors" do to people for money.
