The FABULOUS John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols

British men age badly

I guess it isn't only me sharing my donuts with him.

Millions of pints. Thousands of servings of fish and chips. Tens of thousands Mars Bars, bags of crisps, and pork pies.

Mick Jones of the Clash easily aged the worst.

A young John Lydon, now that's how Loki should look. Not fucking wet-blanket Tom fucking Hiddleston.

Johnny's autobiography that came out this year is amazing.

What a difference four decades make.

The British punk rockers age horribly. There's also Adam Ant from the same era who is almost unrecognizable.

Siouxsie Sioux's not looking fresh like a Daisychain either.

Age. What a bitch.

What happened? He looks like hell. Johnny's gone rotten!!

He looks like a typical American now.

OMG. He looks worse than Chaz Bono.

r10 No, more like a typical Brit.

Johnnny's Rotten!

God Save the Cream!

Pretty Bacon

Anarchy in the K.F.C.!

Paul Simonon aged well, but his whole face just hangs off those cheekbones.

Lydon looks like a professional darts player. He's a cunt, anyway.

So far Dave Gahan doesn't look too bad

Never mind the haddocks...

Probably from living rich off of his heiress wife. The Pistols always claimed to be a giant swindle, anyway..he's probably where he always wanted to be.

And why do all these old punkers get a pass? They're as bad or worse than all the "BOF" they purported to despise.

At least I had the courtesy to die young and beautiful.

OMG, he lives and fat!

He looks like a befuddled walrus.

He was always ugly, even in his twenties! He was never going to improve in the looks department. But I had good times on the dance floor with a Tom Collins in hand and cigarette in the other while this played:

He looks awful!

What a mess.

We don't even have to write a parody title for "Rise" when he comes out that doughey.

Johnny, we hardly know ye!

Bloated!!

Not so great a Public Image.

He is so scary looking now

This has to be some kind of health thing-- steroids, or whatever. If you look at the pics at R30, he still looked like himself-- and relatively slim-- just a year ago.

He claims it’s a thyroid condition.

Many years ago I went back home to my little CT suburb to visit, after moving to the East Village. We were with some old family friends, playing Trivial Pursuit. The answer to one of the questions was “The Sex Pistols”, and everyone was slightly scandalized that I knew the answer and uttered the word “Sex” so boldly in mixed company. There was another scandalous thing I knew, can’t remember what it was.

Teenage angst has paid off well. Now I’m bored and old.

Twins!

Triplets!

I always liked Fenella Fielding's cover of "Rise", especially the end where she goes off on a rant.

Punk/new wave ages badly.

Siouxsie wouldn't look so bad if she had a decent wig.

Fat Bob from the Cure looks a fright. And not in a good way.

Robert Smith wouldn’t look so bad if he cut that hair and lost a couple of stone. Good example of someone who found a look he liked when he was 25 and never bothered to change it. Rats nest hair and lipstick doesn’t look so cool on a 60 year old man.

I think Siouxsie looks pretty damn good, she could hang with Patsy and Eddie and rock the party. JL was never good looking, why would he be so now, 40 years past his prime? The bad English teeth just look infinitely worse after smoking for 50 years, so there's that problem for 90% of them. Robert Smith needs an image intervention to avoid the late-in-life transitioning look his '80s style unfortunately calls to mind. The Depeche Mode guy does look good, channeling trim, groomed Jeff Goldblum metro/homosexuality.

Gahan is a different generation to those above, he was barely 19 when Depeche Mode broke in the UK.

I met Lydon once and I have to say he was utterly charming. Not what I expected at all.

He's apparently a Trumper now:

He's a fucking Trumpster moron, which makes him the worlds biggest asshole, idiot, and hypocrite... I can't listen to any of his music anymore knowing he's a Trump idiot.

By his own admission he's always been kind of pudgy at the very least, even when he was younger.

I don't think Siouxie looks bad.

Punks don't take care of themselves. "Live fast, die pretty."

More like sex pustules, amirite!

Dave gahan from depeche mode is part asian. His father is malaysian. That' s why he still looks good

John lydon is looking after is wife who has dementia so he probably neglects himself like many care takers.
