Men are like wine, they say.  Well, not all. But these men certainly age gracefully. I am only listing men above 50 years of age.  Brad Pitt is 45 and George Clooney is 47, so I can’t include them.. yet. But they certainly are in the category of “Men are like wine.” =)

1.  Bruce Willis

He made a bald 51-year old cop  look sexy in his Die Hard 4.0 movie. At 5 decades old, he still portrayed  the bad-ass devil-may-care cop realistically.

2.  Harrison Ford

He is expected to reprise his role as Indiana Jones.  The new movie will be released next year. His quiet yet I-can-be- tough-if-the-situation-calls-for-it demeanor has made him  a senstive action hero. He surely can still pull off  the intellectual butt-kicking Dr. Jones in the next Indy movie to be released next year… at age 65!

3. Robert Redford

He was my favorite character in my all-time favorite movie, “Sneakers”.  I loved him with Demi Moore in “Indecent Proposal”.  He is still suave and sophisticated even at the age of 70.

One can be born handsome and pretty.  It is just an accident of nature and a combination of genes.  When we are young,  our bodies cooperate with us and we still have that tight firm skin giving us the glow of youth.  But as the decades pile up on us, it takes discipline and for some, even money to maintain our health and physique. I also believe that making smart choices in ones professional and personal life also has an impact on how we age.  Being happy and stress-free is one way to keep healthy.

Whatever these men did, they are certainly successful.  It is sinful how good and fit they still look at 50, 60 and 70!
