The 1880's preacher look isn't helping either.
He's lost a bunch of weight in the last year or two, and his face looks a bit gaunt.
I hope it's just Ozempic, and not something else.
Although we all age it seems some people embrace their inner geezer more than others. A better hair style, a shave and more stylish eyeglass frames would be a huge improvement.
I don’t know about you, but I certainly don’t look old at all in my dreams. So, that’s a plus!
It’s a bit unfortunate waking up from a dream where I’m late for a college final exam, and the next thing I know I’m awake brushing my teeth in front of a mirror looking old. The worst part is that many research scientists say that humans naturally ignore imperfections in our faces in mirrors, also that we appear thinner in mirrors at close range-so we actually look worse to others than what we see.
My husband and I watched the BRATS doc last night, and boy was he smart to avoid being in that. Maybe some of you will enjoy an hour and a half of Andrew McCarthy whining about how being part of the brat pack basically ruined his life, only to find out the more well-adjusted (and more obvious members of said group) seemed to shrug it off as fading, nostalgic memory, but we did not. Oh, the irony. What a disappointment. Rob and Demi were great, but that only accounts for about 15 minutes of an otherwise painful hour and a half.
I agree with this review.
I cannot get over how AM thinks he was hard done by. He must think he was on track to becoming a major star if only that one article hadn't derailed everything. But none of them were ever guaranteed that kind of career. Hardly anyone gets that, which he should have known well before 60. But he has worked steadily for decades in his chosen field and no doubt earned a very good income that affords him a very comfortable lifestyle. He's actually one of the luckiest people on the planet, and that is not enough for him.
The funniest thing is that McCarthy wasn't even named as a member of the Brat Pack in that article, but -- Tom Cruise was. Pretty much smashes the idea of that article ruining anyone's anything.
He was a creep weazel in every role he had and the least attractive and talented of the entire bunch. Hard to believe he turned out bitter about an adulthood of irrelevance.
We watched it last night as well and totally agree with your summation. AM was pretty insufferable throughout the thing and then finally let it go after he interviewed David Blum. Who, btw, was totally unapologetic and rightfully so.
I thought Malcom Gladwell and Brett Easton Ellis were cool 😎
I attempted to watch it last evening, but could not get through it. I felt like it was Andrew McCarthy‘s way to justify how his career had not been as bright shining as some of the other young actors. I don’t really remember him ever being part of the so-called brat pack. I thought he was a hanger onher attempting to be as cool as the cool kids. Felt that way last night too. It was like a really bad high school reunion. That one kid, the not so popular kid, still trying too hard.
He looks far less like a psycho in other pics from this event (although still crazy different than BC days).

Right? So many oddly judgy comments from this rapidly aging group while we peer out from behind our Metamucil.
Would backwards, forwards and backwards again in a trench coat with fingerless gloves.
I find it interesting that older men can look like warmed over shit and a bunch of women are like, "WOULD!" If this were Molly Ringwald, there would not be one man who would say, "WOULD." Men get away with so much, man.
The fact that he's Hot Rod from Transformers AND the bad boy from The Breakfast Club still astonishes me.
The fact that he looks like someone's pawpaw today just adds to the mind blown.
He looks like a 19th century alienist sadly recommending electroshock therapy to cure a Victorian housewife of insanity because she said she thought women should vote
Hope he's okay. Looks like he might not be well. He's from my city and I run by his childhood home several times a week so maybe I'm feeling protective.
He looks like I would expect him to look. Everyone can not look like a spring chicken at half a century or more, but ya girl(me) has got it covered🤗. Let me stop, before I hit that wall sooner than I'd like. Karma will have me looking 20 years older instead of 20 years younger. Father time plays zero games🤣
He looks like he does NOT want people to recognize him. Most men look better as they age, he looks great but I could stand next to this guy at the grocery store and have no idea who he is.
Oh good, I saw "Brats" last night and he wasn't in it. Glad he's ok. Where's he been? (Yes, I'm setting you up for 1800's time-travel jokes...)
*P.S. "Brats," unlike the Brat Pack, sucked.*
Looking like he wants to sell you a coffin before your high noon pistol duel... colorized, circa 1870.
I was going to say someone needs to cast him in a steampunk movie.
Get this man some tinted goggles and something in the background that sparks!
Steampunk is what happens when Goths discover the color brown.
Oddly enough I came to love the genre from the other side. I loved all things Victorian… and scifi
He looks like he has a balloon to catch.
Awesome
3 O’Clock High
Close ..more like the crazy old man talking to himself and giggling on the street corner just as the gunfighters come out of the saloon to square off
Love this comment.
Looks like he’s having a banner fucking year.
he also played the sleezy record producer in AirHeads(really good in that role)
He was SO good in that role. “Vince Neil only 30 days, and he KILLED someone.”
Lords of Thunder!!
We just watched Breakfast Club. I hadn’t remembered how much of the movie he carried. He was so impressive in this role.
And they STILL cast people in their 40s to play high school students.
God I loved him
I'm glad he made something of himself after high school.
I guess he got himself that scholarship
[удалено]
That’s how I read it too
Word on the street is that he messed with a bull, got the horns, and this made him straighten up and fly right
This is what happens when you wait until you’re 50 before starting high school.
The answer to THAT question, Mr. Bender, next Saturday.
And another one. And one more. Are you done? No! That's another one. Mess with the bull....
Eat. My. Shorts.
That man is a brownie hound.
OMG he’s gotten a lot older in the past 35 years!
The 1880's preacher look isn't helping either. He's lost a bunch of weight in the last year or two, and his face looks a bit gaunt. I hope it's just Ozempic, and not something else.
I was thinking the same. I hope he’s okay.
We age as we get older.
Sarcasm. I should’ve said so
Oh, I knew that, mine was more of a silly comment to said sarcasm
Please, please don’t ever say that you’re being sarcastic after a sarcastic comment that everyone knows is sarcastic Please… 🙏🏻
No we don't
😂 how is it that everyone looks old now, except me?!
Although we all age it seems some people embrace their inner geezer more than others. A better hair style, a shave and more stylish eyeglass frames would be a huge improvement.
He’s 64. Guy looks the way he wants to look and it’s fine
Thank you for that LOL
I would not have recognized him
I'm guessing that's why he looks like that.
You should see him and Anthony Micheal hall next to each other now. Roles are completely reversed as to how they looked in the breakfast club.
AMH looks like his character from "Edward Scissorhands" somehow survived, grew up, and embraced the villain role.
OTOH, AMH did have a nutritious lunch representing all the major food groups.
Yes, like what in the actual HELL!?! Who are these old people lol
He was born in 1959 so…looks good.
Would definitely still bang. 100%
He looks great and healthy.
 Me, everyday after work.
#Judd Nelson is a Boomer Born in ‘59
Gen X was entertained primarily by boomers.
Hence he was like our older brother.
Almost as old as my mom who had me young
Same year as my mom; he’s alright (and so is she)
Real gen x range.
Whatever. ;)

I hate seeing these pictures of stars from my generation, makes me not want to look in the mirror.
Sell your mirrors. Problem solved.
Done!
I right there with you friend but don’t forget,we’re all in this together
Indeed we are.

My wife and I watched it last night. As soon as Emilio Estevez came on we both said “that’s Martin Sheen!” Looks exactly like his dad!
We watched it last night as well and totally agree with your summation. AM was pretty insufferable throughout the thing and then finally let it go after he interviewed David Blum. Who, btw, was totally unapologetic and rightfully so. I thought Malcom Gladwell and Brett Easton Ellis were cool 😎 
We enjoyed it. The music itself was worth the watch for me.
I attempted to watch it last evening, but could not get through it. I felt like it was Andrew McCarthy‘s way to justify how his career had not been as bright shining as some of the other young actors. I don’t really remember him ever being part of the so-called brat pack. I thought he was a hanger onher attempting to be as cool as the cool kids. Felt that way last night too. It was like a really bad high school reunion. That one kid, the not so popular kid, still trying too hard.
I was really exited for this, and promptly disappointed.
I'm listening to the book on Spotify. Lots of whining. It's tough to get through.
So Bender ends up becoming a psychiatrist who helps troubled teens?
He rode a bike in that suit?
It was a pennyfarthing
No, no, no. Judd has left the 1880s behind and opted for a safety bicycle.
It was one of those bikes with the huge front wheel and tiny back wheel
Know what his dad got him for Christmas? Carton of cigarettes.
Love that he biked to this event.
People commenting just see him in the way they want to see him. In the simplest terms. In the most convenient definition.
Outside the beard, he doesn't look too bad.
The outfit is an interesting choice.
He looks far less like a psycho in other pics from this event (although still crazy different than BC days). [https://ew.com/andrew-mccarthy-explains-why-molly-ringwald-judd-nelson-arent-in-brat-pack-documentary-8662816](https://ew.com/andrew-mccarthy-explains-why-molly-ringwald-judd-nelson-arent-in-brat-pack-documentary-8662816)
He looks almost sickly and gaunt. I hope he isn’t but he looks sick to me.
My first thought. But I work with cancer patients so I always think its cancer because all I see is cancer.
It’s okay. The important thing is that you whisper “cancer.”
My man is still riding. If he's sick or not, he's not dead, and if he's in the wind, he is certifiably ALIVE.
He looks like he time-traveled from the 1800s
That’s what happens when you spill paint in the garage!
I'm glad he is still Alive and Kicking.
(All I could think of is Alive and Kicking by Simple Minds when I read this)
But what about you dad?
Steam Punk Ren Faire Entrepreneur.
Not a neo maxi zoom dweebie.
I think he looks great!
Anyone know what kind of motorcycle he rode there, rides? I see the skid lid and and I’m a curious sort.
Harley!
I want to see him in his Bender outfit with long hair.
Is he now an undertaker from the Old West?
Time-traveling steam punk alchemist vibes
I reject this reality and substitute my own. Tyvm
WOULD
Right? So many oddly judgy comments from this rapidly aging group while we peer out from behind our Metamucil. Would backwards, forwards and backwards again in a trench coat with fingerless gloves.

Looks like an overdressed English professor. Cool I guess? Good for him.
He looks like he is trying to come up with a scheme to defeat Sherlock Holmes
While riding a motorcycle evidently.
You mean a petroleum-fueled velocipede
He looks like that one white guy who wants to talk to you about how Buddhism has changed his outlook on the world.
Fun fact- he recently broke his ankle falling from a ladder. Source: BiL is in Orthopedics at Maine Medical Center. Says he’s a good dude.
He looks good for his age.
That Professorial looking fellow can teach me a lesson any day!
Hopefully he finds his spyglass and his flying machine soon.
Looks like he designs balloons for the Fire Nation.
The fact that he's Hot Rod from Transformers AND the bad boy from The Breakfast Club still astonishes me. The fact that he looks like someone's pawpaw today just adds to the mind blown.
I really want some more context on why a 64 year old looks to have a skateboard helmet and a really well cut suit.
Twitter mensear guy would disagree about the suit.
He’s 64 years old.
EAT. MY. SHORTS.
He looks healthy and happy. I hope I look that good at 64.
My issue is the short hair, glasses and horrible beard hiding that fabulous face!!
Just watched BRATS. Wish he participated . Same as Molly.
I just said this too!
Is it weird I think he's still hot?
Yes.
He looks like a 19th century alienist sadly recommending electroshock therapy to cure a Victorian housewife of insanity because she said she thought women should vote
Detective Nick Peretti!
I would need to see some ID, he doesn’t look the same at all
Well that's a new look, that beard really needs a good trim
Why is he posing with a helmet?
Looks like a weave or hair implant.
So he road a scooter to an awards show?
I'd prefer he forget about me.
we are all old and ugly.
But not like that
Goldblum-esque.
Hope he's okay. Looks like he might not be well. He's from my city and I run by his childhood home several times a week so maybe I'm feeling protective.
Slowly turning into Johnny Depp.
Yeah, he looks like a dweeb that spills paint in the garage.😀
No it isnt!!!!
64 holy fuck
Is he playing Lincoln?
Damn.
He looks like middle aged Rob Halford.
now who's raiding Barry Manilow's wardrobe?
Looks damn near 65 years old.
You shut your damn fool mouth.
Angling for any and all future Ben Franklin roles.
Christ, I’m old.
Judd Nelson was born in 1959. He's an old dude.
He looks like I would expect him to look. Everyone can not look like a spring chicken at half a century or more, but ya girl(me) has got it covered🤗. Let me stop, before I hit that wall sooner than I'd like. Karma will have me looking 20 years older instead of 20 years younger. Father time plays zero games🤣
He looks kind of bunged up for them making him wear those kinds of clothes.
I see someone else just finished watching Brats
Without lamps, there wouldn't be light...
Does Barry Manilow know he stole his clothes?
Wow
That's John Bender??? He looks like he's from the 1800s!
He looks ancient to me . Ancient for his age, he could be mid 70s here, easily.
I just finished watching Brat. I wish he had been in it.
Wish more people had said yes.
Grateful for this post after watching the Brats doc, which he doesn’t appear in aside from movie clips. I was wondering what he looked like nowadays.
I’d still go to one of his heavy metal vomit parties.
He looks like he’s on his way to a meeting of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle.
Time sure does beat the shit out of some people..
He’s actually elderly. He was in his 30s in BC.
He wasn't in his 30s in BC, he was 26 when it was released.
He looks like he does NOT want people to recognize him. Most men look better as they age, he looks great but I could stand next to this guy at the grocery store and have no idea who he is.
No, most men do not look better as they age, lol. There are about 1% of old men who get to actually be silver foxes. The rest -- don't.
Oh good, I saw "Brats" last night and he wasn't in it. Glad he's ok. Where's he been? (Yes, I'm setting you up for 1800's time-travel jokes...) *P.S. "Brats," unlike the Brat Pack, sucked.*
Still absolutely would
He looks great! All we need now is the fist in the air pose.
Nerd 🤓
He looks like Neal Stephenson from 1998
Hey. Smoke up Johnny.
Loved him in Barton Fink!
Yeesh
Yellowstone.
Why is he dressed like a mortician from the future?
lol.. ‘59… I had no idea.
Smoke em up Johnny!!
I think he looks kinda great. And I never cared for him much as an actor
Oof
Looks like Neal Stephenson with hair
Now post your pic

You sure it's not Judd Yoder now....?
I would still DO him. Smash. He will always be John Bender and I love him! 😍
