Famous men whose beauty was fleeting

James Taylor was NEVER beautiful

Michael Stipe.

Taylor was beautiful.

*Famous men whose youth was fleeting

James Taylor was young for a hot minute with a full head of hair.

Cat Stevens, what a waste.

Helmut Berger.

Leonard Whiting

Ron Howard

Ron Howard was never attractive

R10 - Stupid comment.

William Hurt

David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) was an long-haired angel in the 70's.

James Taylor is still handsome.

Stephen Stills

Why, r11? R10 is correct. Ron Howard was always goofy looking.

R16 you're probably thinking of his brother, Clint.

Prince Edward owns this thread

[quote] [R16] you're probably thinking of his brother, Clint.

No, dipshit, I'm thinking of goofy looking, unattractive Richie Cunningham.

Horst Buchholz

So does his nephew r18.

Very few men remain attractive once they lose their hair.

Mandy Patinkin

William and Edward would be much more attractive if they wore their remaining hair quite short (even buzzed). unfortunately, balding aristocraztic men in the UK have this ugly habit of letting the hair on the side and back of the heads grow a little too long to look good..

William Hurt remained handsome for many years.

Prince Philip.

David Hemmings

Brendan Fraser

James Spader

Sean Connery.

Justin Deas.

Is there photo verificatia of James Taylor's rumored massive sizemeat?

Val Kilmer

Marlon Brando.

Balding is the main reason why many of these men are mentioned in this thread. If only scientists could hurry up with finding a cure so all the hotties can age gracefully.

Al Pacino

Ron Howard’s face looks like a babies fist

It's the main reason, r35, but it's not the only reason. Former beauties like Pacino and Kilmer and Johnny Depp still have a lot of hair--they grew fat, and smoked and drank too much.

James Franco. He used to be hot in a kind of sleazy way but now just looks sleazy in a predator kind of way.

Speaking of Johnny Depp....

Prince Andrew.

R30 Sean Connery remained hot for a very long time.

[quote]Very few [bold]white[/bold]men remain attractive once they lose their hair.

Fixed that for you.

[quote]Very few [bold]white[/bold] men remain attractive once they lose their hair.

Fixed that for me.

Robert Plant.

Can we do actors?

Cary Elwes

Our Commander-in-Chief

Why are a lot of these men Brits?

James Taylor types were a time a dozen back in the 70s. (Skinny WASPY boys, with long hair and a big dick.)

Most of these guys were hot for decades, not for a quick fleeting moment.

What a time to be alive, R35.

Jude Law

Cary Elwes still looks incredible.

John Travolta

Marky Mark Wahlberg

Tom Selleck

I wanted Marky Mark in me deeply.

Truman Capote

R48 The Brits pale, pasty skin tends to age like milk. But they are beautiful for a brief moment!

Jeffrey E.

Truman Capote and Ron Howard? Seriously? I may need to rethink my subscription to this site

R62, you're just not that important.

Tru was always the ugly little boy.

Can you imagine a 3way with Truman Capote and Ron Howard? Talk about aversion therapy!

r62: PLEASE do. No one wants you.

Truman was a cute twink for about 30 seconds in the late '40s. Ron was never "beautiful." He had a kind of clean-cut, wholesome, apple-pie look that some people like. Not me...but some.

I've always preferred Potsie myself.

I am a Ralph guy. I love a red haired Brooklyn Jew.

I thought James Taylor actually looked the best in the 80s after he kicked his heroin habit and that hag Carly.

Edward Furlong

Dean Cain

[quote]Cary Elwes still looks incredible.

Hey, my dealer is on vacation and I can't get any weed from him 'til September. Can you pass me some of that shit you're smoking? TIA!

To be fair, Elwes has recently lost a lot of weight.

Bruce Jenner

End thread right here with Mel Gibson

Christopher Walken was beautiful when very young. Reminds me a bit of James Spader.

Jan Michael-Vincent

He turned into a wizened elf fast, but for a moment in the early 70s Malcolm McDowell was very pretty.

[quote]End thread right here with Mel Gibson

R77 Gibson's beauty was not fleeting. He was strikingly gorgeous in his twenties and thirties (late '70s- early '90s). Still quite handsome in his forties (late '90s-early 2000s). Then he hit the wall sometime in the mid-2000s.

James Spader. He was still hot in 2002 when he made Secretary and then 5-6 years later when he made that legal tv drama, he became fat and balding.

Alec Baldwin

[quote]And no killing the mood by posting pictures of how badly they aged.

R73 lacks reading comprehension.

I think people are not getting the meaning of 'fleeting.' As in lasting for a short time. Spader, Baldwin, and Gibson all held on to their looks for decades.

A perfect example is Leonard Whiting, who was beyond gorgeous in his late teens when he starred in Franco Zeffireli's Romeo & Juliet. But by his mid 20s, his looks had hit a wall.

Iggy Pop was kinda cute for almost five whole seconds!

Mickey Rourke.

Jonathan Rhys Meyer

Mark Hamill.

Nick Nolte

Art Garfunkel until he decided to go with the fright wig look.

r32 now you know why Carly Simon has such a big mouth.

Gerard Depardieu until he decided to race Marlon Brando to the end of the fugly road.

I never found a lot of these guys to have any beauty (Art Garfunkel, Mark Hamill, Gerard Depardieu, Nick Nolte, Iggy Pop, James Spader), so fleeting never happened.

R94 so because you said so, they can't be so?

Peter Gabriel was hot in the '90s.

[quote]I never found a lot of these guys to have any beauty (Art Garfunkel

Art Garfunkel was beautiful when he was young. He got to fuck Candy Bergen (or was it Ann Margaret) in a movie called "Carnal Knowledge." Maybe you need to get your cataracts removed, Pops? What is your contribution to this thread?

Nolte was actually good-looking for quite a while. But when he lost it, he lost it big time. That was the drugs (and drink?) no?

Kurt Russell as Snake..............................woof

King Ludwig II of Bavaria

He can be my TOP GUN

Lord Alfred Douglas

Lovelorn floppy-haired loveliness, Hugh Grant.

But, I rather suppose that was the entire point of him, wasn't it?

[quote]Lovelorn floppy-haired loveliness, Hugh Grant.

He'd probably still look like that if he hadn't propositioned that drag queen hooker.

Mick Jagger

Keith Richards

This thread is co-owned by Prince William and Gary Cooper! Cooper was quite stunning when he was young, tall and lean and possessed of a beauty that was very masculine, but with a hint of feminine prettiness in the long eyelashes and full lips. His looks were fading by age 35, and had hardened into middle-aged droopiness by forty, but at least he could still act.

And Hugh Grant doesn't belong on this thread. Sure, his floppy-haired prettiness had faded by forty, but at that age he became handsome rather than pretty. Even now, he looks damn good for a man of 58.

R104 Divine Brown was not a drag queen nor trans.

When those Windsor genes kick in, they kick in with a vengeance.

Jamie Oliver 1999 had a cute Britpop look that was typical of the time.

Don’t forget me!

A lot of the ones mentioned here never had ANY "beauty": Donald Trump, Ron Howard, Michael Stipe, Gerard Depardieu, Art Garfunkel,etc. And a lot of ones mentioned maintained their good looks until at least in their forties: Sean Connery, Marlon Brando, Mel Gibson, Alec Baldwin. But some who DID lose their looks early on are Leonard Whiting, Prince William, Prince Andrew. Poor Leonard Whiting went bald in their twenties and Williams had that same kind of early hair loss. Prince Andrew got pudgy and unprepossessing pretty soon. English guys don't seem to age well at all.

Gore Vidal

Elwes was beautiful for at least 10 yes on screen (if not more). Does that really count as fleeting? He looks decent for an old guy now, too.

Kurt Russell does not belong on this thread at all.

He’s been cute since birth and is still a handsome older man.

John Wayne

Joe Biden

R22 [quote]Very few men remain attractive once they lose their hair.

So true, so true...

Peter Frampton

Michael Schoeffling

Well then.

[quote]Prince Philip.

No. He was handsome for YEARS.

That Ryan O'Neal, hub-boy.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Jerry Mathers (Leave It to Beaver) was a very popular child actor, but in adulthood there was no cuteness to it.

Tony Dow, Adam Zolotin, and Ken Osmond, looked good well into adulthood.

Bud Cort

Just saying

He might not be famous, but Hywel Bennett was gorgeous in his Twisted Nerve days. He even resembled Zac Efron a bit, but then he seemed to age really quickly and might have had booze bloat.

He's also a pale British guy, so maybe it is true that pale guys age poorly. If that's the case, why are we told to stay out of the sun and wear hats because the sun will age your skin? Wouldn't it do the opposite if you were pale and stayed out of the sun?

Hywel really was beautiful for a brief window of time. He always had insane bags under his eyes, though. Maybe that was what made him look so old. He might have been a drinker or dug addict.

Timothy Hutton. He faded very quickly.

Buck's beauty would never have been fleeting.

Billy Zane

(And Joe Biden looked really hot in the pic at r117!)

[quote]A lot of the ones mentioned here never had ANY "beauty": Donald Trump, Ron Howard, Michael Stipe

I agree with the first two, but Stipe? No fucking way.

Hot damn young Joe Biden. Fanning myself.

Horst Buchholz was beautiful for the usual amount of time, not a fleeting moment.

Jerry Mathers? Oy

Dennis Hastert

Lillo Brancato

Brendan Sexton III

[quote]Timothy Hutton. He faded very quickly.

Timothy Hutton is not that bad looking for an old man. If he looked my way, I wouldn't say no.

William Holden owns this thread too dammit.

If Jerry Mathers makes the list

I knew I’d see a lot of Prince William in here but with his head covered, I’d say he’s still the hot one in his family. Diana’s genetics are still pulling through.

Harry's the hot one in the royal family because he doesn't have any Windsor genes to screw up his looks.

R143 Kate looks like she could be a country music star in that pic.

Harry looks like Howdy Doody

Betty.

Joe Biden is another who was hot well into his sixties.

"Fleeting" means "for only a short time."

Joe Biden was balding in the 1970's. He didn't look good.

Admittedly that was a bad haircut, r149. But a few years later when he got his hair cut properly, he was hot as hell for years.

[QUOTE]Sean Connery

Connery's beauty wasn't fleeting. He looked magnificent until he was around 70. The man is almost 90, what do you expect ?

R150 Was that around the time when he got hair plugs?

It depends on one's standards.

Roger Daltrey

R153

Since Connery is largely considered one of the sexiest men going, you're obviously in the minority.

Some of you are getting too hung up on the "fleeting" thing. I think the idea of the thread is to identify once-beautiful men who became surprisingly ugly as they aged, whether they were attractive for 20 minutes or 20 years.

Somebody post "before and after" pictures of Ken Olin, please? What a waste.

Somebody post "before and after" pictures of Ken Olin, please? What a waste.

Well, then that doesn;' make sense, r156. EVERYONE looks awful if they live long enough. Everyone.

Hairy-chested Alec Baldwin.

This thread is about MEN. Bea Arthur, etc have no place here.

Lighten up, Francis at r161.

[quote]William Holden owns this thread too dammit.

Nonsense, he was hot for close to two decades.

One of the few guys mentioned in this thread I agree with is Mark Hamill. Apparently because of a car crash his face lost that little special something it had in Star Wars. He didn't turn into a monster or anything but suddenly in the sequels he just wasn't hot anymore.

Paul Mercurio from "Strictly Ballroom", before...

... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND after.

Wilmer Valderrama

Aged immediately after That 70s Show ended.

Guy Pearce

R85

R112

Leonard Whiting is surprisingly not THAT bad looking nowadays.

He is looking older than his 69 years-old.

But way better than at a certain point.

President Rutherford B. Hayes

Robert E. Lee

Michael Stipe, when younger, looked sloppy and unclean. Not exactly a turn on.

Eric Roberts. When he was young he had a unique attractiveness; big eyes, full lips. Family trademarks, it would seem. But due to hard living (and a bad motorcycle accident that smashed his face) he lost his looks early on and became a character actor.

Winston Churchill was never hot

Sean Connery was balding from an early age. He wore a rug in all those Bond films.

Prince William

Robert Taylor. Hot in the 1930s, but was lookign worn out by the 40s.

Mark Hamill in the first Star Wars was beautiful....and then he got in a car accident and ruined his beautiful nose. He looked like a changed person.

Brian Jones

Bruce Willis

Gerald Ford

Brian Jones died at 27. Fleeting indeed.

But so did Jim Morrison, and his beauty was definitely gone as he turned into a bloated, bearded whale.

^^^ Really, R180? Seems kind of Neanderthal to me.

^^^ Really, R180? Seems kind of Neanderthal to me.

Young, bohemian Joey:

Willie Aames

WIlmer Valderrama's beauty did NOT evaporate when That 70s Show ended.

Tyrone Power

Power is a good one. His looks didn't completely vanish, but like Montgomery Clift, he went from a staggeringly beautiful young man to a... striking middle-aged man. Well, striking on a good day.

At least Clift had a good reason.

Prince Philip has been handsome his entire life.

Ditto Gary Cooper and Sean Connery. Some of you did not real the OP.

Sean Connery doesn't belong on this thread for fuck's sake! He went from a hot young man to a hot middle-aged man, to a hot silver daddy. I'd still have fucked him when he was in his seventies.

Of course his appeal wasn't purely about looks, his appeal was always more about charm, charisma, and testosterone than his physical looks, but he kept that into his seventies as well.

Jagger in this one photo.

R192 And Richards in this one.

Low standards, r193.

To each his own, R194.

Too many people are not following the rules in this thread.

Another vote for Eric Roberts. He really screwed up his looks and his life.

And here we go with today's reigning champion...lost all his looks by age 30:

With that widow's peak, diCaprio reminds me of Eddie Munster.

Ulf Ekberg

Augustus John. Though this pic was taken in 1902, it has an eerily timeless quality to it.

Timothy Hutton does not bathe daily, so forget about that.

Jean Val Jean.

I agree that any man who keeps his looks until his late 60s/early 70s (like Connery, Russell, etc), even if he turns into a troll after that, kept his looks. There are no hot 80-year-olds: Biology doesn't work that way. Even Prince Philip, who kept his looks a staggeringly long time, got scary-looking by the time he turned 80.

DiCaprio did lose his looks amazingly fast for an A-list actor: The last role where I see any cuteness at all is the Aviator, when he was 30. He's even puffy looking in The Departed a few years later. What's amazing about him is how he's kept his A-list status, when it's been almost two decades since he was cute.

R165 That pic hurts my soul. His ass was heaven.

Hart Bochner

[quote]There are no hot 80-year-olds:

With a bit of Max Factor, Clint Eastwood could be luke warm.

Honor Blackman was 80 here, in 2005. She's well over 90 now, of course. But I'm not sure I've seen a fresher looking 80 year old.

Well, now you have R208

Here's a young George Washington. I can't believe what happened to his looks. Dust

Lena Horne was a decent looking old lady.

80 year old France Nuyen

Incidentally, why did Honor Blackman's parents give her the American spelling of her first name?

Many of us get old. And a lot of us looked great young. For many men, we lose our hair and get grey, we gain weight and wrinkles. It happens.

Macaulay Culkin was a cute kid. Now, not so much.

Matthew Broderick had a moment.

Axl Rose

George Peppard. Aged well?

Tim Kaine. He's still kinda hot as an older daddy, but he was very pretty in his youth. I like his kind eyes.

R216 a brief moment. Maybe like 2-3 weeks.

R220 LOL! You just reminded me of this bit from Family Guy re Kate Upton:

"Ditto Gary Cooper and Sean Connery. Some of you did not real the OP."

Gary Cooper got really haggard in middle age

MICK JAGGER!

He could French kiss a moose!

He could suck a lemon from here to the Beverly Wiltshire Hotel!

He's got child-bearing lips!

Those are pretty bad dentures Honor Blackman is sporting R208

Timothy Hutton looks like your addled but harmless haggard old drunk uncle now, but he was a cutie back in the day.

He always had character actor face. Tim Daly was the cute Tim.

Is that Yaniv in a pink bra at r221 ?

Gary or Liza?

Russell Crowe.

Jeffrey Dahmer

r228, he looks like Adam Lambert's grandpa

Blonds have more fun

Michael Vartan

Christopher Walken

Ray Liotta

Depp

Timothy Hutton

[quote] Too many people are not following the rules in this thread.

Thank you for weighing in, Cheryl.

Marcus Schenkenberg

Casper Van Dien

Depp's looks lasted well into his forties, R243, so I'm not sure he belongs on this thread.

Of course his looks hit the wall at record speed around age fifty, but he was hot for an unusually long time.

He still looks O.K., r247.

Gary Cooper's beauty probably peaked before 25 yo and it was a very high peak. It was a long slide from there but from that height it took years until he was handsome without beauty, and then finally just wasted.

Hemingway

Richard Davalos

I agree Depp stayed good looking. I posted my recent nominations based on the world "beauty" and its usually young men who have that, and its often fleeting. Some beautiful young men turn into handsome mature men but many pretty men just fade away. And men can peak anywhere between 15 and 45! Handsome lasts much longer.

Did Casper Van Dien's son survive his suicide attempt? He was in a coma afterwards.

Paul Le Mat. In "American Graffiti" he had a rough hewn Stanley Kowalski type beauty to him, but his looks went downhill really fast, probably due to hard living. During the making of "American Graffiti" he (and Harrison Ford) were considered the cast hell raisers. Drinking, drugging, smoking, partying...it took its toll on him pretty quick. I think he was pretty messed up looking whole only in his thirties.

Pete Burns beauty was fleeting.

Duran Duran's John Taylor.

Adam Ant

I always hate when beautiful men turn ugly or rougher due to drugs or drinking or too much eating. It feels so avoidable in those cases. If I looked like some of these men in their prime, I'd take damn good care of myself.

I guess they value things other than their appearance...

Robert

Beautiful Brothers - David Sylvian and Steve Jansen. Steve was better looking!

Evan Peters. Flamed and flared out within 3 years?

Elvis

Teen Dream Tzar

Tell that to Gary Cooper, r259.

Gary Cooper may own this thread. He went from staggering beauty to looking like Lyndon B. Johnson, in about 20 years.

R267 that's a good run, though. Fleeting would like 10 years or worse 5.

Paul Le Mat. In "American Graffiti" he had a kind of rough hewn Stanley Kowalski type of beauty, but it disappeared really fast. He (and Harrison Ford) were considered the hell raisers on the set of AG. I guess a life of drinking, drugging, smoking and partying did him in. He looks were pretty much gone in his thirties.

Christopher Reeve - Neautiful in Superman 1 and 2 but looks started to fade after that (before his horse-riding accident)

Henry Cavill - Balding.

Jude Law -Talented Mr. Ripley was his most beautiful self. Balding too.

closet case Jared Padalecki - First few years of the Supernatural show he looked great. Now, not much. Early caneface and receding hairline...

Ronnie lost it once he turned to politics

Still worked that Grecian formula

Did R261 REALLY have to post a photo of Robert Mapplethorpe with his arm draped across Patti Smith's bare tits? I don't think anyone here wanted to get a look at those drooping jugs.

Josh Pence.

Stephane Rideau. Salim Kechiouche. Jean Marc Barr.

This may be stretching the definition of famous, but — French model Olivier Debray.

Ashton Kutcher was only striking for a couple years

Morissey

Same with Colton. Those two needed to be young, and have have just starved off the baby fat.

Benoît Magimel was an angelic boy, beautiful young man and it was all gone by late 20's.

Colton never had baby fat.

Colton had to stop eating to model. It's the way his face came into beauty. I seem to remember him discussing that.

Has anyone lost their looks faster than Jason Patric?

He was smoking hot in The Lost Boys, and then lost his looks literally overnight.

Dennis Hopper was a pretty boy

He was James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor's son in that movie about the giant.

Dennis Hopper was never beautiful. That's like posting an old studio portrait of Angela Lansbury. The photographers were paid to flatter the subjects, by any means necessary (that might include retouching).

[quote]The photographers were paid to flatter the subjects, by any means necessary (that might include retouching)

They had that back then, in the age before computers?

Yes.

I disagree. It's a matter of taste. I thought he was soft and a pretty boy.

Ralph Fiennes. Went bald in his thirties, I think.

I don't see it. Compared to someone like Jeffrey Hunter, or even RJ...

Whatever. He was a cute tasty twink, and then he wasn't!

Russel Crowe was the hottest man alive in 2000 when he filmed Gladiator....but he liked to drink and overeat and let himself go. He had a good run in the 1990's and hit a wall 7 years after Gladiator was released.

The ladies - Kate Moss. She's turning it around with apparently some laser and minor surgery, but for a few years she was looking extremely rough due to smoking, drinking and tanning.

Her pal Jade Jagger never smoked, no idea about drinking, but she was stunning in her 20s and 30s and looks pretty bad in her 40s.

Rupert Everett was gorgeous when he was younger. Why did he hit the wall so hard? He isn't overweight, neither has he lost his hair.

It's simply that Rupert's face is very strong and it hit a sweet spot when he was young. Then later on, it didn't get mature man handsome As for his contemporary Hugh Grant - Grant has terribly freaky eyes. He wasn't even gorgeous as a college boy - though he was sexy in posh douche way. Then he suddenly had a couple years of it all working - maybe clever cinematographers and movie magicians helped. Fortunately with him, it settled into something mature and handsome.

Bruno Ganz

Giancarlo Giannini

Blair Underwood

Richard Berry

Jeff Stryker

Jérémie Renier

Koen de Bouw

David Beckham was a gawky chavy young man who suddenly blossomed into a swan and then his character wrecked it though he remained somewhat pollutedly handsome.

Emir Kusturica

Chrissie slowly, painstakingly, skilfully turned himself into a slick and beautiful creature.

Diego Maradona. Before cocaine. Before food.

Gerard's looks at 32 are holding. I think he'll have a big belly in another year or 2, he doesn't seem to train much.

Michael Stype and Ray Liotta had horribly pockmarked skin even when they were quite young. Liotta hit his peak in Field of Dreams. Speaking of which, Costner was a beautiful young man as well.

Michael Stype and Ray Liotta had horribly pockmarked skin even when they were quite young. Liotta hit his peak in Field of Dreams. Speaking of which, Costner was a beautiful young man as well.

Sorry for the double post, but wanted to add that Macauley Culkin was never cute. Even as a child actor he had close set eyes and a long boney face. Meh.

R282 Jason Patric still looked handsome in 1991's After Dark My Sweet. He even had a purposely disheveled appearance for the part. Like most other men losing his hair affected his overall looks. I think I would still categorize him as handsome today, his bone structure and beautiful eyes remain.

The LATIN spelling, R213.

Crazy for You

Lorenzo Lamas

Soupy Sales

Charlie Sexton

Steve Antin

Martin Hewitt

Rupert had some bad plastic surgery

Sam Strike, the world's most beautiful chavvy twink.

Just enjoy his former loveliness and don't look him up on IG.

I used to have a crush on Jackie Earle Haley when he was in Bad News Bears. I was a very young gayling at the time. Now, he's just fug.

After seeing Ivan Sergei pop-up on BH90201 as Tori Spelling pretend husband he deserves to be here. Sad that he's fallen so far.

So, basically anyone besides Miss Cillian Murphy.

I never found Cillian Murphy attractive. His so-called beauty escapes me. He looks like a distorted Tom Welling.

Anton Sevidov (Tesla Boy)

DJ Zedd.

Theme: Russian techno/electro twinks peak at 20.

Oliver Reed was so gorgeous for awhile, but I think alcohol did him in, too.

King Louis XVI young

King Louis XVI old

Mark Twain was handsome for about 10 minutes.

Henry Ford. Hubba hubba.

Joseph Stalin

Burt Lancaster

Burt Lancaster's beauty wasn't fleeting.

Burt was gorgeous for DECADES, Helen Keller at R335.

Kevin O'Leary

Billy Crudup peaked when he was a young man. Stayed somewhat handsome as a mature man.

Matthew Fox and Luke Wilson used to be exactly my type.

Ron Howard may have been straddling the fence as a teen but there was no cuter kid in the world then when he was Opie Taylor.

I was surprised when I was older and finally saw photos of a very young John Wayne and the spectacular beauty of a young Gary Cooper. Did not like their contemporary looks at all - but damn - they was fine when young actors.

Matthew Fox was really handsome back in that '90s series, "Party of Five." Now, not so much.
