Ah, that's a Shame: Colin Farrell went down a cliff

Considering his lifestyle, he could look worse. I'm sure he's still quite charming

*sniff, sniff* It's ok, gurls. We'll always have his sex tape.

He looks old and crusty now.

He looks fine, but needs to lay off Clairol a bit, he's way too old for that kind of black.

The hair is too dark. He lost a lot of weight jogging. I bet depending on the camera and lens he has many different looks right now but they are all age appropriate and fine by me.

Jogging makes your face sag. This is a fact.

he looks like an old hag!

He would look so much better with grey hair-- the fake hair color actually ages him more than salt & pepper would.

bad dye job.

He often had S&P hair 5 years ago or so. This must be for some movie.

He just needs to borrow Hagonna's filters

Wiggy

Irish + drugs + alcohol =

Connor mcgregor is another Irish that is aging like milk, 35 and looks 50.

Do you guys believe you are ageless? Cmon.

Everyone hits the age wall sooner or later.

Except some black people never do. They are very lucky indeed. But everyone else does.

You talking about yourself again? Talking about someone you don't know is pretty weird don't you think? He seems to be doing well, maybe focus on yourself.

If you don't want him, please pass him along to me.

The surprise and disappointment people express when celebrities age as all living beings age...it really substantiates the idea that famous people are akin to gods and goddesses in people's minds.

Or that a lot of the public are idiots.

Fine, fine…but how is his dick holding up?

Irish men all age horribly. What is especially weird is that they all come to look just like one another - a wizened old elf. Strange genetics.

I always thought he resembled George W. Bush. A handsome version, but he still looked like him. Farrell still looks pretty good, but it's true that black hair is again him. Gabriel Byrne used to be the same with the Irish aging and dyed hair.

I've always like this picture of Colin.

Colin was a BABE for a few decades. Good for him. We all enjoyed it. I bet he won't be decrepit at 60. He has had some rough patches. But he keeps putting it back together because he has a handicapped kid who needs him, for life.

Not everyone has Operating Thetan genes.

Colin, just head to the Ratty Korean Wig store and pick up a new wiglet! It worked for me and takes years off my appearance. The gentlemen callers love my new look!

Will need to see current dick pix to decide.

Yea. I'm OP, and I am definitely talking about myself. American, but of British/Irish/some German genes and very concerned as I reach 40 that it's inevitably, even for the once very beautiful.

Saw a close picture of Fassbender and almost Diana screamed. Perhaps he's allergic to sunscreen.

He'll have no trouble transiting to character roles. His best performances essentially have been as character parts.

R21 Jewish guys age the exact same way, it's oddly soothing to know your future.

Aging = weakness. Frailty. Mortality.

And in the end, it does. It’s hard to make your peace with that when modern society essentially discards you once you can no longer be economically productive or fuckable.

Terrible dye job.

Must be using Justin Theroux's hair stylist.

R30 Everyone says that "modern society discards elderly people" and I'm not sure why they say this.

Did ancient societies not discard elders? Did nomadic tribes rally around 90-year-olds and expend their energies carrying fragile elders from place to place, pre-chewing venison and feeding the toothless old people? Not likely.

Modern societies probably invest a lot more resources and effort into taking care of elderly people. And I would guess the reason is not reverence so much as just the huge share of elderly people who demand resources and have enough money saved to keep buying, which drives societal consideration via economic importance.

Anyway, the age of sexual maturity is when people want to boink most and are most reproductively strong. As years go on, people's sex drives diminish. It makes sense that people then correlate youth with boinkability, and so aging people are seen as having diminishing boinkliness.

But that still doesn't explain to me why people are always surprised when celebrities age as everyone else ages. They're not gods or works of art. They're human beings. No, medical procedures and cosmetics do not *actually* stop the aging process. At best, they can put on a fresh coat of paint. The person under the paint still gets old. Everyone knows this, I know, but I don't know why so many people express surprise about it. It's really weird.

What the hell are you talking about? He looks GORGEOUS.

He was most appealing to me in Lobster when he was fat tbh

Dear OP:

People age.

Truly yours,

I agree R36, we age as Marylin sang: we all lose our charms in the end.

Though the two older guys that are hot and I would do are Alexander Skarsgard and Ricky Martin.

You're all right- I think here's my peccadillo: the hair dye. A silver Fox is gorgeous, holding on to what is lost is false and unattractive.

Yikes! He is around the same age as me. I figured from his picture in OP that he was mid-50s, not mid-40s.

I am 1/2 Eastern Euro and 1/2 Anglo and 40 hit me like a ton if bricks so I feel his pain

R30 That's true, people are ageist because it reminds them of their own mortality.

I think I have always looked about my age, and throughout my life a lot of people have told me insistently that they mistook me for younger.

That changed just after 40. I think I currently look a little older than I am. I also have serious health issues and that can age a person. But I look at people in my family and my mom always looked much younger than her age and most other people looked their ages. I look like my family. So, duh, it's not a surprise.

I feel like the aging process, though, can help me relate to the transgenderism phenomenon. I have a picture of myself in my head that looks quite different than the way I look. My body is changing in ways that are confusing and out of sync with my concept of who I am. For example, I developed mild gynecomastia, probably fr a medication I had to take. One of my breasts is larger than the other and large enough to make me self-conscious and I have frequent thought that "this thing does not belong on my body" and have contemplated surgery to get rid of it. So the mental mismatch of who we think we should be and what we really look like can be very disorienting and even upsetting, whether due to health problems, aging, body dysmorphia or dysphoria.

Dataloungers always act like celebrities willfully choose to age, and then hold that against them.

From summer of 2021.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R42 I'd say they act like celebrities didn't choose to age, but that they failed by aging. As if they gave up or didn't try hard enough or simply didn't have what it takes...to be ageless. So fucking bizarre.

Eamon Farrell. the gay brother.

Uh oh.

The gays of DL loathe no one more than famous gay men!

He was hotter when he was young, hot and youthful

A lot of touchy eldergay and would be eldergays posting here. Colin looks like shit, he obviously didn't age well like a lot of good-looking people do

[quote] He was hotter when he was...hot

Astute!

I think he looks pretty darn good, considering he really struggled with addiction. But yeah, ease up on the dark hair dye. He looked fan-fucking tastic in Fantastic Beasts.

He's an actor. It's likely his hair is dyed for a role. A lot of actors make tabloid headlines with surprising hairdos and it turns out to have been done for an acting gig.

I’d still let him fuck me

I do agree he looked much better with the all-silver hair, but otherwise he looks great for his age.

People age. Dataloungers just cannot wrap their heads around that.

[quote] He was hotter when he was young, hot and youthful

He was hotter back when he was hot. That's a profound statement if ever I heard one!

I was cooler back when I was hot.

I was hotter before my dysautonomia was diagnosed and treated.

I was so much younger and hotter when I was young and hot, too.

Irish - and I have to agree. True that we age like shit. My only defenses are working on body and getting a tan. Too late to avoid the sun so I realize I look better with a tan - so I’ll do that to make it through my 50s.

R6, old wives tale. Ruin if can take off weight, which can increase the appearance of gauntness but it doesn’t sag your skin.

So stop justifying your laziness.

Irish American Slattery, young. YUM!

Slattery, DILF. - YUM

I went to get my booster this morning and the nurse almost wouldn't give it to me because I didn't look like I was over 50. I was very pleased with myself, then I saw these photos and realized it's just a matter of time before I hit the big wall too.

So, uh, thanks Datalounge. Again.

Slattery, OLD - looks fine to me.

You were saying about Irish aging?

It's pretty odd how man can still be hot with wrinkles but women look haggard.

I have never seen anything like the persistent horror and/or mockery I see expressed here when a celeb is outed as having gotten older.

**Older?? Mon Dieu! Say it’s not SO**!!

Nor the persistent belief that physical beauty correlates directly with character, desirability, and all good things, when *nothing* else is known about the person because everything “known” about them is an unholy mishmash of gossip, rumor, projection and wishful thinking.

Of *course* people are going to be shocked and panic when they see an old celeb. The true horror is that in falling from their former grace the celeb acts as a hollow-shell reminder that the observer’s own marketability, never at the celeb level in the first place, decreases by the day among people as shallow as themselves.

If even Mel Gibson looks like shit now, what must *I* look like? Can that be why no one cruises me anymore? Have I, ghods forbid, LOST it?

Those fucking bitches! I hate them! Boy, bring me my Datalounge! I must POST!

He needs a better colorist, but otherwise he looks great.

R66 physical beauty does corelate with desirability. Not sure why you think otherwise.

I get being fed up with trolls on DL, or constant repeated topics or something like that, but I don't get coming to a gossip forum and complaining in long, tedious essays about people who are discussing age-old gossip topics.

R69 What's not to get? While it's true that being younger generally means being more sexually attractive and getting more attention for it, it's also natural to be perplexed when people gawk at a photo of someone who has aged and point and puzzle over what happened and speculate that the person is a moral failure because time made them look older. It's a strange phenomenon to witness people so in denial of the aging process that they behave that way, and I think it's natural to ask why people are acting like someone is a criminal because they are aging normally.

It seems to me that people today understand what a baby looks like, what a child looks like, what a teen looks like, what a 25 year-old looks like, and what old age looks like, but they don't understand what the years between 25-75 look like. It's totally normal to look middle aged at 45, 55, because that is middle age. It's on the way to old age. It's past the prime reproductive Instaho age of 25-28.

It is not a mystery.

How did it become a mystery to people? Is it because Hollywood used to erase people at age 30? It's some kind of collective mental deficit.

R60: Sagging skin notwithstanding, doesn’t running/jogging for years eventually fuck up your knees? It doesn’t seem worth it in the end.

He looks pretty bad. But with a bit of stubble and salt and pepper hair he could still be hot. The jet black hair and clean shaven look isn't doing him any favours.

I think the thing making him look odd in the photo, besides the hair, is the injectable fillers. There's a point at which old skin still looks old even when filled in so that it isn't wrinkly, and that creates an uncanny walking-wake corpse sort of look.

Jogging ages one.

He has a waxy complexion and it looks weird

Kevin Bacon is old but he looks pretty good in his series City on Hill (produced by Ben Affleck, now on season 3). He has some kind of hair system, but his face is lined. He has stayed very thin and I think he looks fine, looking his age but not too droopy. (must be some work). Used up but sexy. Lots of energy and cockiness in the character, helps.

Another.

Probably had a neck lift but has left his eyes to age. Botoxed brow but it varies over the seasons.

Actually waxy Colin F

I never found him attractive. He's not a great actor, and just seemed dirty (like Johnny Depp, not in the good way). That said, he doesn't seem to have to worst personality, and also seems fairly relatable. So, there's that.

I think he's best in supporting roles, despite having had "leading man" status at one time.

Yeah nothing much to see with Colin Farrell. Meh. Why did Hollywood give him a shot?

Charmless. Dead eyes.

He did a great job in the new Batman movie. I refused to believe it was him.

See, R82, I think he is unbelievably charming! Very soulful, wounded and pretty ...

Now he looks like that Joey Tribiani Old Irish uncle meme, and it's just a fact of life that we whiteys age like old milk and it's a shock to me, is all.

R84 are you a satire free zone? R82 is making satire.

Ooooh. Ok.

I’d still eat his ass.

Colin is 46 and still looks lovely. His massive, unmutilated dong is always appealing, much much more than OP has ever been and will ever be.

I thought he was (and is still for his age) super hot and a great actor with the right role, but most of all he's known as a very nice guy to work with. Even when he was a blasted drunk, he wasn't difficult or mean. That goes a LONG way.

R71, it does cause wear and tear on the knees, though that can be managed by reducing distance and frequency.

But the cardio benefits are huge. Lots of high cholesterol and heart disease generally in my family but I’m mid-50s, my resting heart rate is 39-40 bpm (my doc is always astounded… much less strain on the heart than 99+% of the pop.) and my EKGs are textbook perfect.

(How much longer that will continue I can’t say.)

The guy is only 46 but that shoe-polish dye job makes him look like a 60 year old. A sleazy 60 year old.

Give me some tanning cream and rachel dolozol's wig and I'd gladly re-enact his porn with him.

I don’t understand why all these rich Hollywood types can’t afford decent dye jobs.

Rule #1 with dyejobs is to use more than one shade so there appears to be texture. And everyone knows black makes aging men look exponentially worse.

He has a nice big dick within the normal range. MASSIVE? Oh, honey.

He looks good - like a handsome older history teacher at your high school who coaches soccer on the side. He wasn’t going to be a twink forever.

Looks pretty damn good to me.

His eyebrows always bothered me, especially now that he's adopted a Shah of Iran theme.

W&W, 48

^ r48

[quote] my resting heart rate is 39-40 bpm

That's rather low.

He made a fantastic sextape at his peak, has been ambitious and mostly judicious in his film choices, and has never really had much of an air of vanity. He can really act and seems to focus more on performance than primping.

The inevitable loss of sexual power doesn’t seem so tragic in this case. He’ll have a career that owes as much to talent as the looks that have faded with time.

I first noticed him in Tigerland--so striking, even with a mediocre performance. He knows he's had some of the worst hairdos in film. An uneven filmography but he's often been very good if well cast. He'll easily transition to character parts. Looks fine for his age--seems to be liked/respected by other actors. He made a pass at Eileen Atkins when she was in her 60s--what can you say, he must have had quite a sex drive (and wide ranging taste) in his prime.

Actual pictures from premiere of Thirteen Lives in Los Angeles, 29 July 2022.

Considering Colin Farrell has been rocking salt/pepper if not totally sliver/white hair for some time now, there may be a good reason why he recently had it coloured.

Saving grace is that Mr. Farrell still has a relatively lush mane; which is a blessing on many levels, but when it comes to dark hair colour can make someone look rather like Eddie Munster.

Colin Farrell has been going off and on again with hair colour for some time now.

If you look carefully at this picture from 2015 you'll notice roots and side of hair are a sort of medium to light brown. That normally is sort of shade one gets when trying to cover grey or white hair with semi or demi permanent hair colour, and or anything else that doesn't lay down enough pigment to totally cover.

One sees that sort of thing all time with either bad professional jobs, or home hair colouring. Mid-lengths and ends are dark, but roots are some odd shade of brown.

OP and rest of you lot claiming Colin Farrell "went off a cliff" should post pictures of yourselves. I mean fair is fair....

Colin Farrell looks perfectly fine for a man his age, and likely significantly better than lot on DL slagging on his appearance.

He lives in Hollywood. He needs to throw away his Just for Men box color and see a good stylist that can blend in color and leave a few grays to make him realistic looking. I'm sure if he face fucked and topped Tammy C she would give him his stylists' number.

Light the corners of your mind

Do these ghouls ever take the time to observe themselves in daylight?

I think he ganked something from Travolta’s Wig Room.

C O N V E N I E N C E

Nice big dick

I am frequently puzzled by extremely wealthy actors/celebs that display incredibly amateurish dye jobs and preternatural injectables results. I suppose I always assumed that these men have access to top range LA stylists and absolute best-of-the-best cosmeticians, colourists, etc.

Harshness comes CF also having is eyebrows coloured as well.

This is understandable and done often enough so "collar and cuffs" match, but with his skin coloring dark hairline and those eyebrows just don't work anymore.

One of hardest things to make some people understand is regardless off fact one was dark brunette or even jet black hair color when young, past a certain age it's just time to kiss anything darker than say medium brown, goodbye.

R111

Not every licensed hairstylist is great or even good with colour. More so when it comes to dealing with grey and white hair.

Many people including wealthy, famous or whatever stick with a certain hairstylist out of loyalty and so on. This clearly when they would be better off seeing someone else for say colour work.

OTOH there just are certain clients who won't be told, and want what they want. You can talk until blue in the face advising them on a better choice of hair colour, but it's like taking to brick. In their minds they are still in their 20's or 30's and what worked then should still today.

Colin Farrell currently is working on an as of yet untitled Batman spinoff where he plays "the Penguin". That may explain his hair and eyebrow dye job.

For someone who "went down a cliff" Colin Farrell has worked and still is working rather consistently.

Men who age like shit can still find work in film, that's not anything new

If you believe Colin Farrell has "aged like shit", then suggest booking an appointment with optometrist rather soon.

Quite a few eldergays getting quite pissy

Great jaw line, nice widow's peak, kind and thoughtful eyes, keeps himself fit. If that is what 'going down a cliff' looks like, I think need to find that cliff.

If Farrell's down a cliff then I'm down the Marianas Trench .

"Go down a cliff" is not a fixed expression.

Good grief, what's with all the jabs at people having panic attacks?

Having an actual full on panic attack is seriously awful. It's like your brain is misfiring, almost like you're having a stroke or something similar.
