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.

Exactly. Keanu is 60 next year, I’m happy if I’ll look half as good at 60.

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

After some cursory research ([1] among other meta-analyses), this does not seem to be true below the age of 80. Could you cite a source?

That’s what I mean too: Blanket statements are nonsense. Of course, this applies in both directions.

That’s good for you. The original meme was literally body shaming him while on vacation

Edit: for the curious it was literally for a film festival

I just mean that it seems kind of strange to equate looking somewhat unhealthy with enjoying your life.

“It’s strange that people think they can enjoy life in ways that I don’t enjoy” is definitely a take.

Oh it would.

I feel better being more fit because a lot of my interests (and my job) are very physical, and being as large as I am now makes doing the things I enjoy doing more difficult.

Not everyone has those interests or that type of work, and that’s okay, too. We all have value.

Stop ruining it for them. They already opened another pack of chips feeling completely justified.
