    Flattering angle, professional photographer trying to make him look good, beard hiding signs of aging vs. unflattering angle, paparazzi scum trying to make him look bad, no beard to hide aging.

      The crop makes him look fat, too. In the original pictures, he literally looks like a relatively slim middle-aged man - which is exactly what is he when he isn’t training for a movie. Too many people forget that very few celebrities are consistently pumping iron to the extent that they have a perfect body throughout the year. Rob McElhenney goes into detail about this topic, I recommend everyone watch it when they get a chance

        The people who expect celebrities (or anyone) to be at peak alll of the time can go screw off, though. I thought body shaming died off with those stupid gossip rags, (magazines). He is more than the value of his evternals. People love him because of his actions and choices, who he actually is. Him being epic in movies is just an added bonus.

    Some people, like me, enjoy life more If they are at least somewhat physically fit.

      being physically unfit is hell.

      imagine not being able to wipe your own ass because it’s too wide for your own arms to reach

      imagine not being able to tie your own shoes because you can’t bend enough to reach them either.

      imagine getting winded from standing still

      imagine your joints screaming in agony every time you so much as stand up

      imagine not being able to clean because you can’t reach the floor without risking falling over and not being able to get back up.

      i have been up to the very brink of letting my weight disable me and I count myself EXTREMELY LUCKY that I seem to have stopped on the edge and pulled back before ruining the rest of my life.

      The pleasure of eating always disappears IN MERE MINUTES but the consequences can linger indefinitely if these indulgences are left to go unchecked.

      IT’S NOT WORTH IT.
