Tom Cruise is now the same age that Wilford Brimley was in Cocoon

[OlafSicky]

look at his eyes in 2009 you can tell that he is not all there sad

 

[vi edit]

Crazy to think, but Heartbreak Ridge was released in 1986. Clint Eastwood was 56 then.

Is this Tom Cruise ?

If he is, he is just a person who lives very healthy.

Are his dentures in crooked? Why aren't his teeth centered in his face?

 

[vi edit]

And Clint at 74...

Could be the diabeetus.

Interestingly, I didn't know Wilford Brimley from anything other than those commercials.

This story started circulating when the latest Mission Impossible movie hit theaters. As I understand it, Wilfred Brimley's make up in Cocoon was done in such a way to age him for the part. So it isn't the greatest of comparisons.

This. The whole point of the movie "Cocoon" was that old people go into a magic alien pool and become young. So they chose some actors and applied old person makeup on them so that all they had to do to make them magically young again was to remove the makeup.

its actually common. his teeth are aligned a little off one way and his nose is sitting a little off the other way, which makes it seem like everything is way whacked.

i know cause i have the same problem. always take off center shots

and in the 1993 "film" 'The Firm' - Tum Cruise kicked Wilford Brimley's ass, which in turn gave Mr. Brimley the dia-beetus....

And . . . ?

I'm not trying to pick on Wilford Brimley at all. I like him, and The Thing is one of my favorite movies. I sincerely wish Wilford Brimley a long, happy and successful life.

The whole thread was just to make an interesting observation (or at least interesting to me). The things you mention, while unfortunate for Mr. Brimley, don't in any way undermine the point that there was a startling disparity in their apparent ages while their chronological ages were the same. If you don't think it's interesting, no hard feelings on my part.

I know you are not picking on Wilford Brimley. It is just that the comparison may not be all that fair when thinking that for as far as we all know Tom Cruise is in very good health and has probably a life style(healthy food , regular exercising, low stress lifestyle, regular physical checkup) that ensures good health.
I also noticed that there are a lot of processed photo's of Tom cruise. Hardly anything can be found where you just see him on a normal day without the special lightning.


Clint Eastwood is another very good example.

Poor Tom. Yes, he still gets megabucks per film. Yes, people still think of him as a big star. Still, one day he won't be able to repel down skyscrapers or bed 25 yr. old starlets. He will not age gracefully, and his cockeyed belief system will eventually send him over the edge. Enjoy him (if you must) while you can.

Shens.
Hugh Hefner has ancient beliefs regarding male/female relationships and he STILL gets fresh young girls.
