TrendingOctober 4, 2022

Bruce Willis

Some of the best action movies from the 1990’s and 2000’s seemed to star actor Bruce Willis in it. The Die Hard franchise is unforgettable, and so are his films Pulp Fiction, The Sixth Sense and Sin City. However, 2022’s Paradise City will be his last.

You see, Bruce was recently diagnosed with aphasia, which will eventually impact his cognitive abilities. His family announced that he would be retreating from a public life to focus on his health and has decided to end his 4 decade long acting career.

Val Kilmer

What killer looks Val Kilmer served us with during his heydays in the ‘80s and ‘90s. The handsome actor first made it big in comedy movies such as Real Genius and Top Secret! But would then become known for his action star persona.

We loved him in movies such as Batman Forever, Alexander, The Prince of Egypt and of course, Top Gun. Val would reprise this latter famous role of his in the 2022 Top Gun: Maverick movie, but after losing his voice battling throat cancer, they had to use AI technology for him in the movie.

Rupert Everett

Moving on from one handsome man to another, actor Rupert Everett has two things going for him, that he was a talented British actor, and second, that he was charming and handsome. Who could resist him in the Julia Roberts movie, My Best Friend’s Wedding.

Rupert has starred in his fair share of movies and TV shows in the US and more so in the UK, but his first love remains theatre. He is more than comfortable acting in plays and has many projects in the pipeline. The 63-year-old lives in London with his Brazilian boyfriend.

Jocelyn Wildenstein

If there was ever a cautionary tale of falling in love with plastic surgery, then Jocelyn Wildenstein would be the poster child for it. The American socialite is widely recognized for her cat-like facial features which were achieved through surgery.

Jocelyn is said to be addicted to plastic surgery and has embraced her cat persona now. Even the judge who granted her divorce said the she was not allowed to the use her alimony money to get any more surgeries! It’s shocking to see what she looked like before.

Geena Davis

Academy Award-winning actress Geena Davis is a seasoned Hollywood actress whose performance we have loved in Beetlejuice, Thelma & Louise, A League of the Own and in the Stuart Little movies. Davis is now 66 and not ready for retirement.

If you thought you haven’t seen much of Geena in a couple of years, its because she took a hiatus from acting in her 40s, as her popularity waned. In the 2010’s and later, she began taking on television roles. Recently, she has been looking rather slender sparking illness rumors.

Sally Struthers

Sally Struthers is an American actress who played the role of Gloria Stivic in the sitcom All in the Family, and as Babette on the show Gilmore Girls. Sally began acting in the ‘70s and got offers to work on TV shows, theatre productions and movies.

She is now 75 years young and still looks as bubbly and cute-as-a-button as she used to! She is still very much in the acting business and can be seen in two TV shows, In-Security and Frightening Tales. She also lends her voice to the Around the Sun podcast.

Igor and Grichka Bogdanov

Igor and Grichka Bogdanov’s name may be new to a lot of us, but they’re fairly popular in France, as they have been TV hosts since the 1970s. They’re also twins who used to speak on various topics such as popular science, cosmology and Sci-Fi.

They’re also controversial and claim that that they were just born with prominent chins and cheekbones and that they never had plastic surgery for it. We’ll let you decide on these claims, but for now, these two love all the attention that comes with being internet memes.

Lara Flynn Boyle

She’s an old-style Hollywood actress who managed to make a name for herself in the world of movies and television. Lara Flynn Boyle always gave off the “strong independent woman” vibes which almost typecast her in only bold and confident roles.

She starred in Twin Peaks, Red Rock West, Men in Black II and Las Vegas, and has remained one of the most dynamic Hollywood actress, who never disappoints. However, is it undeniable that Lara’s face has changed a lot over the years, some people say it’s because she had a botched plastic surgery procedure!

Mickey Rourke

Actor and former boxer Mickey Rourke began his career as a leading man and first made his presence felt with the 1981 movie, Body Heat. He then acted in Diner and Rumble Fish and cinemagoers really got to see his potential there.

After a long hiatus he emerged once again to star in Sin City, The Wrestler, Iron Man 2 and the Expendables. Being a boxer gave Mickey plenty of facial injuries which he tried correcting with plastic surgery. But one botched surgery led to many and this is what he looks like now.

Catherine Bach

Catherine Bach was the curvaceous and pretty brunette who used to rock a pair of denims short shorts when she was cast in CBS show, The Dukes of Hazzard in the 1979. This role made her quite the pin up girl and she has featured on many posters!

Bach has also acted in soap The Young and the Restless. However, her career slumped after Dukes of Hazzard, and she was only offered low-profile movies and small bit roles. But that did not dull her shine, as Bach can still light up any red carpet event and she’s almost 70!

Axl Rose

Guns N’ Roses is a legendary heavy metal band which has made huge waves since the 80s, internationally. Lead vocalist and lyricist Axl Rose has been the only member of the band who has been there since its inception in 1985.

Some of the band’s most iconic songs include ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine,’ ‘November Rain,’ and ‘Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door.’ The many years of hard partying, alcohol addiction and drug abuse can be seen on the 60-year-old’s face, who looks older than his real age.

Kathleen Turner

Kathleen Turner was a leading Hollywood lady in the 1980s and often played femme fatale roles being equal parts aggressive and sensuous. She also had a distinct smokey voice which made all the male characters fall for her.

She has starred in Peggy Sue Got Married, The War Of The Roses, The Graduate and Californication and she continues to perform on the London and New York stages. Turner says she’s making peace with her age and embracing the aging process.

Mark Hamill

Hollywood actor Mark Hamill achieved a lot of fame in a very short time when he was cast in the role of Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movie series. He worked in back-to-back movies from the franchise, but he said that fame disillusioned him.

Mark would move on to become a voice actor later on and has played many characters in animated TV shows, video games and movies. More recently however, Mark is back to starring in movies. He looks more matured and content now, as a happily married dad of three.

Bruce Willis

Caitlyn Jenner

Caitlyn Jenner probably wins the award for the biggest transformation ever, because she used to be retired Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete and former reality TV star, Bruce Jenner. However, he later decided to get gender reassignment surgery.

The move was quite a shock to even his own family, forget about his fans! Especially since he has two ex-wives and had 6 kids! The transformation has not been easy, as many surgeries were involved in turning Bruce to Caitlyn, but Jenner is happy in her skin now.

Whoopi Goldberg

Sure she’s said and done the wrong things plenty of times, but yet, actress and television personality Whoopi Goldberg is beloved by all. Whoopi, whose real name is Caryn Elaine Johnson, has acted in a wide range of movies, but comedy remained her forte.

The Sister Act star began her career in Hollywood with the 1985 movie, The Color Purple. Now, after plenty of hit movies under her belt, she is one of the co-hosts of the TV talkshow, The View. She is also an activist for various causes such as human rights and AIDS research.

Chuck Norris

Is there a more American macho man than actor and martial artist Chuck Norris? He followed in the footsteps of Bruce Lee to make it big as an action star on the big screen and one of his biggest hits was the show, Walker, Texas, Ranger.

But Chuck made his first impression in the 1972 cult classic, Enter the Dragon and has since acted in many action movies. With age catching up, however, he has slowed down. Some time back, images of him looking frail were released, but he’s doing much better now.

Boy George

Even if you don’t remember 80’s phenomena Boy George’s music, you will surely remember what he looked like! The English singer, whose real name is George Alan O’Dowd, crooned hit such as ‘Karma Chameleon’ and ‘Time.’

A large part of George’s persona was his loud makeup and outlandish looks which got him the attention he wanted. Over time, he has refined his look and changed his fashion sense, even going through a goth phase. The 61-year-old even goes makeup-free when he wants to, now!

Linda Evans

She played the role of Audra Barkley in the 1960’s Western TV show The Big Valley, and is best remembered for playing Krystle Carrington in the 80’s soap opera, Dynasty. Linda has had many television show credits to her name since her debut.

With a lot of time having passed since, Linda has started saying no to projects and prefers to take things slow. She has been aging beautifully and gracefully, and encourages people her age to jump in and live their life to the fullest.
