What's going on with Michael Fassbender's face?

He lives in Ibiza. So what you are looking at is sun damage.

Irish skin genes kicking in. He looks handsome and weathered though.

Considering he's very pale and a smoker, and probably a heavy drinker, this is what you'd expect him to look like in his 40s without a face lift or Botox/fillers. For comparison, here's Clint Eastwood at about the same age. We're just not used to those deep lines on actors' faces anymore.

He is only in his 40's? And that rug on his head looks so cheap.

Forehead seems oddly without wrinkles given the extent of wrinkling on the rest of his face...

He looks like a human.

Another comparison. Leo's the same age, and this was Leo at Cannes this week. I don't think Leo's had much if any face work done--possibly some skin care. But he's pudgy so his face is more filled out. If he lost weight he'd look shriveled like Fassy.

He's still hot.

I think he's tremendous.

Well after seeing that C. Thomas Howell post, this isn't so bad.

I could overlook that weathered face given what he's packin'.

Fassy is a sex god IMO. He has always had a lean face compared to Leo's baby face. Leo looks more and more like his own Momma every day. They could be siblings, twins.

Leo is fat, Fassy is not. The latter's wrinkles will be more pronounced.

Leo also has a child sized nose and chin so if he ever does lose weight, he will look like that little cartoon dog with the jowls that sag to his navel. Fassbender has manlier facial features so his face doesn't say, just show the crow's feet.

TRIGGER WARNING YOU HEARTLESS BITCHES!

Wtf

You could put Leo in Lederhosen and dip him in chocolate and he'd be adorable- he's a chubby little kinder fatty.

Fassy is a Thin White Duke. Rangy and edgy. I prefer that.

I'd like to watch a movie where they play rival Nazi commanders. But Leo is the villain and Fass the tortured nonbeliever who betrays him and sabotages their mission. Switch it up.

Like Ewan MacGregor, Harvey Keitel, etc. he had the surgery where they cut the penis gristle away from the pubic bone, hang a weight on it for a month or so then inject with dermal fillers. Voila: Long Phat Dong.

r15 That succubus clearly sucked the life force out of him. It's unnatural how ironed out her face looks.

How is Alicia VIkander always so overly tan? She wasn't always like that.

Scruff on a wizened completion is aging.

R16's description of Leo sounds like Augustus Gloop.

R17 is one of those "if it's big it must be 'shopped'" trolls.

I’m going to email him and ask if I can have his stuff. Eat something already!

He has always had 2% body fat.

Look back to Shame—you can see every muscle striation under his thrusting thighs and ass.

But it's not a hot look after a certain age.

He got married and had a kid. It can age you.

R7 Leo isn’t married with kids.

Unless he does 100% of the rearing, crotchfruit doesn't explain why Vikander looks exactly the same, if not younger.

Cause she has makeup on?

Holy shit he looks like hell.

aging quickly

"Doctor, do whatever you can to make me look like Eddie Redmayne."

He has that unfortunate age related ptosis going on. Happened to Brandon Routh too.

He's inheriting much more from his German father than his Irish mother.

He’s still hot. He’s just ageing. It happens.

The Ozzie & Harriet Show?

His eyebrows look pasted on, but maybe it's just the way they look because the entire forehead is drooping, not just the eyelids. His ears have gotten huge, I've never seen that in anyone who wasn't either very elderly or very ill.

He's aged a lot in the last three years.

His mother looks like Moira Rose.

Looks like he’s wearing shit eyeliner. His pupils look suspiciously tiny too. Makes him look mental. Something is off definitely. Botox? A little “work” that’s altered things just enough to seem too different?

He’s always looked older than his age, so I’m not totally surprised. Plus he’s very fair skinned. Guessing the picture makes his skin look worse than it probably is too.

Leo and his constricted pupils. Is that coke in his nostril?

r28 Makeup isn't botox, babe.

[quote] Plus he’s very fair skinned.

Is this a euphemism for "big ole drunk?"

He’s transitioning into being a Kennedy

I want to sing "Isn't He Lovely?"

I still think he's sexy as hell. Sun, booze, sex all at once will do that.

Perhaps he had Covid? That may have aged him.

He's creepy looking and assaulted one of his girlfriends before hitting it big. Let him fade into nothingness.

At some point in life, you have to choose your face or your ass.

r40 Leo does coke?

Fassbender looks elderly.

Is he vegan?

No! No! No! Not Michael Fassbender.

There is something going on with his eyes. Maybe some minor work but I think it's noticeable.

Do not mess with your eyes.

But yes the Irish have awful aging genes. I thank the gods every night that despite being 1/4 Irish I got the Italian aging genes in my family. I barely have any gray hair and I ain't young. My once gorgeous hunky little brother got the Irish/German genes - 6'3" blonde hair blue eyes perfect face athletic body - looks 15 years older than he is. It's painful to watch and breaks my heart. I never got along with my dad very well but for this I thank him.

And drinking. Gawd, he looks like shit.

Colin Farrell is full irish, is he not? And he's aging just fine.

That’s 46? Cripe, he’s curdling.

Went to the Hugh Jackman school of aging.

On the left side of his face in that picture, it looks like an entire strip of face fat is missing. His face is not remotely symmetrical and it doesn’t look normal.

It's ptosis. If anything, he should have more work done to fix it.

The forced smile does him no favors.

R7, in that photo Leo has lots of lines in his forehead and around his eyes.

[quote]Well after seeing that C. Thomas Howell post, this isn't so bad.

Ha, I was thinking that too; he's pretty wrinkly, but he's not C. Thomas Howell. He's always been thin, but since his racing days, he's become very thin - practically looking a human version of beef jerky. The pictures OP posted is a particularly bad one, but none of them are particularly great. He just looks tired, like he doesn't want to be there but he's putting up a show.

Paul Mescal troll, behold: this is his future

I remember seeing Hugh Jackman up close, circa...2003 or 2004. He never had great skin.

Yeah, He always looked older, mostly from being to thin, i think. When he first appeared i was shocked to learn he was in gis early thirties or something.

I wanna hear 👂 more about his RUG

he's turning into Eddie Redmayne 🦎

Datalounge people- Check out this trailer . His looks are COMPLETELY GONE

My word, he looks like my father-in-law!
