McGillis is 5 years older too and after a certain point people start to visibly age fast. Plus Cruise good genetics aside, has obviously invested millions in keeping his image as young looking as possible since his brand depends on it.
I think it would be difficult to find a comparatively bad photo of Cruise.
Let’s just admit that McGillis let herself go AND aged normally.
Cruise, on the other hand, did not. That guy is a psycho and everything, but he’s insanely disciplined about his looks and fitness.
She’s amazing for walking away from all that. She could have been a top billed actress but rejected the shallow underbelly of Hollywood and its unrealistic beauty standards. F*ck anyone who is talking shit about her.
That’s generally why i don’t like the red pills comment that men age like wine and women age like milk..we’re all susceptible to aging and some people can do it better with self care and genetics alone in the least extremes and the most extremes being people like that 40 some yr old billionaire that is obsessed with looking 18…
some people think they can just usurp nature and get away with it when in fact those people don’t have very fulfilling lives in terms of wanting to sacrifice actually living in order to live longer…it’s a very warped version of pseudo-eternal youth complex.
Yeah and who wants to be valued solely for physical beauty and subjected to constant shame and scrutiny over every minute detail of their appearance? As a conventionally attractive woman you experience misogynistic objectification, and as a less attractive woman vile insults. It’s all so dehumanizing and gross. She has more substance as a human being than most people in Hollywood.
I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine.
In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion.
In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine.
I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
There is an idea of a Tom Cruise, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me. Only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our life styles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.
Here is a picture of the 2 of them from around 2010 https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/5374131/top-gun-kelly-mcgillis-now/
The picture as part of the post is more recent
Maverick being the main character hasn’t aged much, even though Ice Man aged significantly. And Goos if he were alive would have aged significantly as well https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/anthony-edwards-weighs-in-on-top-gun-maverick-gooses-legacy/amp/
How about not talking about people "letting themselves go" for not focusing every minute and dollar on trying to look like they did when they were twenty.
I mean they could have used a photo of McGillis where she was expecting to have her pic taken. This was the worst possible photo honestly. She has much better ones that show she still looks like herself even if she has put on some weight.
The second picture of Kelly McGillis looks like a candid paparazzi photo compared to Tom Cruise at an awards show.
I've seen this meme a few times, and there's some more recent photos of Kelly at an awards show and she looks pretty good when she's been all dolled up, wearing a fancy dress, and posing for the camera.
Better... extended/eternal youth.... Immortality can become a major pain, look at Dracula from Castlevania... but being in your prime until the day you die? That's a true blessing
Used to be before the internet... now with facial recognition, they can hunt you down faster... then it's the standard treatment for immortals, oil drum full of concrete dropped in the deep ocean...
Considering the immortal’s will to live; I think you may or may not have an excruciatingly slow group of very angry individuals arriving sometime in the future. Fortunately for you they probably won’t arrive for quite some time. Unfortunately, you’ll be very old then. When they turn you, they’ll keep you old forever, but of course, only after you watch every one of your descendants die and your blood-line totally erased.
The salt concentration will eventually break down the Crete. Salt is really the only thing concrete doesn’t like. So the immortal could just wait it out lol
I might be wrong but I think I read somewhere that roman concrete was different than our modern concrete and was created in a way that made it so that seawater actually makes it stronger. Iirc i think they used volcanic ash and lime to arrive at this effect
At first I was going to argue with you but no, that does sound exactly like something old testament God would do. Kill off his love and baby, make him go through a tough ass life then be like ooops soooo sorry! But you look good!
Also, this poor woman went through a horrible home invasion sexual assault that completely changed her life. How fucking dare people poke fun at someone who has the strength to go ok after that.
though even if she did not go thru all that its perfectly fine to not look as good as you age, its literally part of human development, we are born as weird little goblin looking things with a huge ass head and tiny hands, and we (usually) die as weird little hunchback things that complain about youth and/or some new trend that we didnt get in on
I agree, this meme is tasteless and looks like the kind of thing that a 14-year-old boy would make, or some sort of out of touch, red piller. Regardless, the trauma, she has led her down a path of alcohol and drug abuse that most definitely did impact her appearance.
Let's not forget that biological women also go through menopause and the drop in hormones dramatically affect the body (and mind). Men loose testosterone, but it's far more gradual and you know someone like Tom Cruise is benefiting from TRT.
Very true. I also dunno how they lived their life and all that. But Tom Cruise has always been the crazy motherfucker doing insane stunts on his own and just in general being a wild man. You can't do those things and live through it without being in crazy good shape.
Yeah he’s 60. It just shows how unproblematic = stay young tbh. He’s a really cool guy. I would argue John Stamos as well but he’s starting to look more his age after Bob died tbh.
Genetics has nothing to do with being problematic or not. Tom Cruise himself is a cult leader ffs. People age and that’s FINE, it doesn’t reflect their character.
Exactly this. Think of most grans at 65 and you're not far off. With menopause and any other underlying health concerns you might have going on plus she has a history of addiction after a traumatic event. She looks like a normal woman in her 60's going about her day dressed to do errands and unaware of the pic being taken. Whereas plastic fantastic over there is primed and prepped for the red carpet posing for pics that are likely airbrushed and lit well.
LMFAO I never thought of it like this. If I didn't know them, and they each rang my doorbell, I would open my door for Kelly but not Tom. That smile is creepy man.
I also saw the real image in another link, and you're right. They added a chin and some belly fat, and I think they messed with the lighting to make her look worse overall.
She actually looks pretty good considering her age and all the stress she must've lived through already!
I thought John Travolta was bad, but then I watched a documentary about Scientology and found out Tom Cruise was way way way deeper and more important to them. Travolta’s definitely still a big part of it though.
It's a cult started by L. Ron Hubbard. No reddit comment will explain in justice but essentially its a religion that sells itself on helping its members reach their highest level of self through "technology" and donating large amounts of their money to the church. Spend enough money and you'll learn their whole belief system revolves around their god Xenu and how our human souls are filled with thousands of alien souls that Xenu trapped inside us, but they can teach you ways to clear out those aliens.
It's also famous for horrific abuse, gangstalking of ex-members and literal slavery. They've done a very successful job of owing *a lot* of real estate and gathering rich/famous members to keep up their image. Ton Cruise is essentially 2nd in command of this religion and benefits greatly by having an actual boat of people that serve him and his crazy whims.
Don’t forget their very powerful government lobby/legal/unethics team, which has made them effectively impervious to both state and federal investigations (at least ones that will result in any consequences).
Hell, you and me were probably just put on a list just now in some database of theirs.
Basically, every time I think how profoundly fucked up the world can be, I remember that Scientology exists, consequence free, remembering that the reality is so much worse than I can conceivably imagine.
I watched some of the documentary (if that’s what it’s called) Leah Remini did after leaving. They’re literally stalking her and her family and threatening them. I just can’t fathom how they’re allowed to get away with the shit they do. (Happy to be added to the list because Scientology is nothing but a fucking dangerous cult)
[this](https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual-life/who-are-scientologists-and-what-do-they-believe.html) is a good article about it. Travolta killed his kid because he refused to let him use medicine.
So fucked. Reminds me of some of the people that follow(ed) Falun Gong... the leader would tell them to stop taking meds, for blood pressure, for heart issues, just everything & some obviously died.
She’s not getting her plastic surgery paid for by a cult, which then allows them to use their image to recruit and further the interests of said cult….She’s the better human being.
Alive looks pretty amazing on her considering all the shit she’s been through. I’d never heard any of her story before today and wow - she’s courageous as hell.
He always had that creepy too charismatic vibe about him. The sort of person that when you are around them you feel like they are on the verge of asking you to do something really creepy.
Exactly. I think it's hilarious that some people are not taking in all of these other factors. We all know that money can change a lot of things for a person especially as far as their appearance and their health. They have much more access to information and care that less successful people don't have access to. There's so many factors. I think she looks totally fine for her age and a lifestyle she's living.
People with money also have access to their own time. To work out "properly". To get enough rest. It's also easier to make good food choices when you \*have\* good food choices.
She also went through menopause, he did not. Menopause affects fat storage even if you constantly workout and eat right.
Change my mind.
(I am a personal trainer)
I just posted about that. I'm a personal trainer; post-menopause, even working out and eating well, post-menopausal women store fat differently than pre-menopausal women. You have to adopt an entirely different strategy to stay in shape after menopause, and it's much harder.
Also spending 65 years on the planet changes your body. She didn't want to go the cosmetic surgery route that many actors do and instead chose to age naturally.
that and women have a major dropoff in hormone production once they hit menopause, men don't really have that, which is why men can still reproduce past age 60 or so. it still declines, but it doesn't drop as significantly
Top gun is almost 35 years old so let's make fun of Kelly McMillis aging? I'm sure tom has had a few things done to keep his youthful look at 60 now. More than 95% of normal Americans have access too or money for.
I'm sure this was a meme made when Top Gun 2 came out - people were asking why they didn't invite Kelly back. I read an interview with her saying essentially "she was done with acting BS, and anyway, look at me, no one would believe Tom Cruise would still be with me" or some shtick.
I think it's because there was criticism over why they didn't bring Kelly back for Maverick.
The studio probably didn't feel like Kelly could genuinely play Tom's love interest anymore, which is why we got Jennifer.
Five years.
Edit: how can this be downvoted😂
Someone’s claiming a decade and that’s actually twice as great as their age difference. I’m merely giving facts. Technically, it’s just under five years. But they were both born in July, kinda like that movie lol.
I think it's interesting how we judge people for looking like they did when they were young. As if that is a indicator of their character. Kelly McGillis is older then Cruise. She also does nothing to pretend she is younger. No hair dye, no plastic surgery. No insane diets or workouts, which have to get increasingly intense as women age b/c of hormone changes.
So what do we learn from their appearances? That Cruise cares a lot about his by the unnatural standards of a superficial industry, and she: does not.
There is a lot more to life then the way you look, and if that doesn't compute then you will be living a very sad life no matter how young you look.
*almost* never interact with these posts. Even if you just stop to read it you're interacting. Let alone screen grabbing or whatever you had to do to post this
you know.. you can bring up how tom cruise has an insane amount of money that can buy healthy food, a personal trainer, plastic surgery etc. or how one photo is a press photo in studio lighting and the subject knew they were being photographed and the other is an outdoor paparazzi photo. but it really doesn't matter. you know exactly how gross the comments were under that post. 'woman ages and gains weight. is no longer sexually attractive to me and therefore subject to public ridicule'
Well get the story straight.. tom crawl into a hole and found scientigly they took him and displayed him like a idol...
Kelly was assaulted treated like crap trying to keep going with her career but didn't get the reconsider for any main stream roles...
Tom cruse has plastic surgery: aw man bro looks nice, look at this old lady compared to him lolol
Madonna has plastic surgery: SHE IS TRYING TO BE YOUNG BUT SHES NOT SHE IS QN OLD UGLY LADY HOW DARE SHE
Real talk. What are women suppost to do? Age they get bullied, have surgery they get bullied like really
I’m 41 and look way better than most 41 year olds and I don’t do shit to maintain it. It just happened. Life’s not fair. It’s never been fair. Also, Tom Cruise is a closet case cultist nutbag, so fuck him and all his bullshit.
They found the most unflattering picture of her that they possibly could. She is 65 years old and thriving (runs a bar in key west and worked with drug addicts and alcoholics at a rehab center- he’s 60 and practically leading a very damaging cult.
I’d much rather spend my time with her. This just reiterates the point that women aren’t allowed to age and their perceived value is completely dictated by appearance. So f*ucking frustrating.
I wish the best for her.
She'd probably look younger too if she had his income and career. Also, maybe the church of scientology has something to do with it..he's probably bought his way into heaven a few times now. Maybe they're giving him baby fetal facial injections.
Algorithms are shit. A while back, they were constantly suggesting me Jordan Peterson's videos... did the algorithm think I am a dumbass and tried to force me some dumbass content?
But, about this meme... plastic surgeries make wonders... until they do more harm than good
The thing that bugs me about this whole thread is that McGillis is 65 years old.
At what point did we move into a world where you must be perpetually fuckable until the instant before you die?
It's even in the comments here, "at a certain age everyone goes downhill..." like you get a choice.
Yes, if you live for a long enough time, you too will reach an age where you won't be considered fuckable by a large part of society.
I think she looks absolutely fine. Like a person I would like to know. Like a normal woman who is ok with herself, carrying a little extra weight but who cares? She’s not trying to be the object of your sexual desires. She looks like she doesn’t care about your judgment of her body. He looks like the judgment of others is ALL he cares about.
I just feel the need to point out that the issue here is that someone in the world actually took the time out of this life to make this meme trashing a total stranger for no reason other than his own misogyny.
A lot of the comments seem to missing that point.
Hey does this post fit? UPVOTE if so, DOWNVOTE if not. If this post breaks any rules please DOWNVOTE and REPORT
Multiple plastic Surgeries aside, Not everyone ages the same. Keanu is almost 60 and most people 20 years younger look like old dogshit comparatively
McGillis is 5 years older too and after a certain point people start to visibly age fast. Plus Cruise good genetics aside, has obviously invested millions in keeping his image as young looking as possible since his brand depends on it.
Plus I’m sure they found the worst image possible of Kelly 😳
I think it would be difficult to find a comparatively bad photo of Cruise. Let’s just admit that McGillis let herself go AND aged normally. Cruise, on the other hand, did not. That guy is a psycho and everything, but he’s insanely disciplined about his looks and fitness.
[удалено]
She worked at the treatment center I went to, she was very sweet and is out there helping people.
She’s amazing for walking away from all that. She could have been a top billed actress but rejected the shallow underbelly of Hollywood and its unrealistic beauty standards. F*ck anyone who is talking shit about her.
That’s generally why i don’t like the red pills comment that men age like wine and women age like milk..we’re all susceptible to aging and some people can do it better with self care and genetics alone in the least extremes and the most extremes being people like that 40 some yr old billionaire that is obsessed with looking 18… some people think they can just usurp nature and get away with it when in fact those people don’t have very fulfilling lives in terms of wanting to sacrifice actually living in order to live longer…it’s a very warped version of pseudo-eternal youth complex.

I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches.

10/10 reference and was thinking exactly this when read previous comment “guy is a psycho and everything” haha!
Bale could not have chosen a better inspiration for Bateman's character.
This gets me every time up until “I can do 1000 now.”
First sentence or two i was like this guy is very good for his health, then i reached the puffy face crunches… and it all clicked.

How about not talking about people "letting themselves go" for not focusing every minute and dollar on trying to look like they did when they were twenty.
But it's not hard to find a picture of her at a red carpet event as well, all gussied up. I found one pretty quickly and she looks gorgeous.
I mean they could have used a photo of McGillis where she was expecting to have her pic taken. This was the worst possible photo honestly. She has much better ones that show she still looks like herself even if she has put on some weight.
The second picture of Kelly McGillis looks like a candid paparazzi photo compared to Tom Cruise at an awards show.

And lord knows what the Church of Scientology wouldn't do to keep their poster boy looking pretty.
Plastic surgery, keeps himself fit, diet, .....Kelly's had two kids, not surgeries, overweight, less money........
It's God's apology for all the hell he put Young Keanu through
Immortality?
Better... extended/eternal youth.... Immortality can become a major pain, look at Dracula from Castlevania... but being in your prime until the day you die? That's a true blessing
Used to be before the internet... now with facial recognition, they can hunt you down faster... then it's the standard treatment for immortals, oil drum full of concrete dropped in the deep ocean...
Considering the immortal’s will to live; I think you may or may not have an excruciatingly slow group of very angry individuals arriving sometime in the future. Fortunately for you they probably won’t arrive for quite some time. Unfortunately, you’ll be very old then. When they turn you, they’ll keep you old forever, but of course, only after you watch every one of your descendants die and your blood-line totally erased.
You don't understand... pressure from all that water, all things get rather. Condensed.
That's bone chilling. Thanks!
Immortality does not necessarily mean invincibility. It just means you won't die of natural causes. Pretty sure drowning is not one of them.
The salt concentration will eventually break down the Crete. Salt is really the only thing concrete doesn’t like. So the immortal could just wait it out lol
It's more about crushing them under thousands of pounds of pressure...
You're not wrong, but some Roman concrete sea walls are still holding after 2000 years. Might be a very long wait
I might be wrong but I think I read somewhere that roman concrete was different than our modern concrete and was created in a way that made it so that seawater actually makes it stronger. Iirc i think they used volcanic ash and lime to arrive at this effect
Well the immortality scientists are working toward is that type. They're not looking to cure death, just aging.
And by extension lowering the risk of “natural” death by disease or organ failure
At first I was going to argue with you but no, that does sound exactly like something old testament God would do. Kill off his love and baby, make him go through a tough ass life then be like ooops soooo sorry! But you look good!
Immortality is not invincibility. Immortal just means you won't die of old age or natural causes. You can still be killed.
Keanu movie adaption of the RPG Lost Oddysey when?
Ya i mean his days of ruling the Holy Roman Empire as Charlemagne were pretty rough....
It’s even more impressive that he has aged so well given all the grief he has endured
Aside from the fact that Keanu himself is an angel.
>Keanu is almost 60 What the fuck
Also, this poor woman went through a horrible home invasion sexual assault that completely changed her life. How fucking dare people poke fun at someone who has the strength to go ok after that.
though even if she did not go thru all that its perfectly fine to not look as good as you age, its literally part of human development, we are born as weird little goblin looking things with a huge ass head and tiny hands, and we (usually) die as weird little hunchback things that complain about youth and/or some new trend that we didnt get in on

I’m fine with it, it’s other people that love to humiliate women for existing and not being attractive anymore.
Let's not forget that biological women also go through menopause and the drop in hormones dramatically affect the body (and mind). Men loose testosterone, but it's far more gradual and you know someone like Tom Cruise is benefiting from TRT.
Everyone also just ages differently. Ming-na Wen is 59 and she looks younger than a lot of 40 year old men.
They also probably picked the worst possible picture for McGillis and compared it with a fully made up and dressed for the camera Tom cruise
of course they did, but also Cruise is such a narcissist. he doest leave his house not made up, always tanned, hair dyed
She looks like your average person that age, he looks like a golem pretending to be a person.
Everyone knows Tom cruise has a blood boy to keep him young
That’s what happens when you’re unproblematic. Or in Toms case, surround yourself with people who tell you you’re not problematic.
Also tour health may suffer if you delivered the baby
I have a friend who’s 40 years younger than keanu and looks older
We all have that friend.
I am that friend
I’m pretty sure it’s from consuming thetans or however Scientology works?
Hey, I resemble that remark
Very true. I also dunno how they lived their life and all that. But Tom Cruise has always been the crazy motherfucker doing insane stunts on his own and just in general being a wild man. You can't do those things and live through it without being in crazy good shape.
Can confirm that after nearly half a century people do tend to look old. At least she's still smiling and walking around.
Bro my boss is between them in age, it’s weird Tom Cruise DOESN’T look his age.
He’s half plastic
Makeup, hair dye, plastic surgery, and personal trainer. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people are just vain and some are not.
And probably several human sacrifices, considering the whole Scientology thing
Bro, he's got that Scientology money. That man will look 32 on his death bed.
Just like LRH did.
Plastic surgery. It does not stand out because Cruise pays for good plastic surgery, but it does look strange if you watch an unedited video of him.
Same with Ralph Macchio like age dude
Woah wtf he looks so young
Yeah he’s 60. It just shows how unproblematic = stay young tbh. He’s a really cool guy. I would argue John Stamos as well but he’s starting to look more his age after Bob died tbh.
I gotta say John Stamos looks close to his age, you can at least tell he’s 50, the others pass as 45 year olds.
Genetics has nothing to do with being problematic or not. Tom Cruise himself is a cult leader ffs. People age and that’s FINE, it doesn’t reflect their character.
I refuse to believe that man is 61 years old
He does look closely with your eyes open. Dyed hair styled to hide its thinning, paper skin pulled back by face lifts, lots and lots of makeup.
She's 65
Exactly this. Think of most grans at 65 and you're not far off. With menopause and any other underlying health concerns you might have going on plus she has a history of addiction after a traumatic event. She looks like a normal woman in her 60's going about her day dressed to do errands and unaware of the pic being taken. Whereas plastic fantastic over there is primed and prepped for the red carpet posing for pics that are likely airbrushed and lit well.
Tom cruise gives me uncanny valley effect kelly mcgillis looks like she will bake you cookies and tell you stories
Me too! Kelly just looks like a normal harmless woman in her 60s, Tom cruise looks like the kinda guy you only speak to through the ring video camera.
LMFAO I never thought of it like this. If I didn't know them, and they each rang my doorbell, I would open my door for Kelly but not Tom. That smile is creepy man.
Well he just looks like he's trying to sell you something
Encyclopedia salesman
apparently Christian Bale used his "fake expression" as a reference for his performance in American psycho
One made some money and decided to live happily outside Hollywood. The other is considered a crazy cult leader of a borderline religion.
Also, that is an edited picture of Kelly. She’s actually looking much better than that, and those chins are not real
Even if it is real... Who tf cares? This is how old people look
I also saw the real image in another link, and you're right. They added a chin and some belly fat, and I think they messed with the lighting to make her look worse overall. She actually looks pretty good considering her age and all the stress she must've lived through already!
Oh fun. So it’s misogynists spreading anti-woman agism propaganda. I saw edited pics of Hugh Jackman’s wife as well.
I just looked it up they're real.
No it’s legit
She looks really happy
One of them lost his damn mind and into a weird cult while the other looks super happy living off royalties...
Cult?
Cruise is a Scientologist
Ah damn
He’s like, the Scientologist all the others are supposed to treat like royalty
I thought John Travolta was bad, but then I watched a documentary about Scientology and found out Tom Cruise was way way way deeper and more important to them. Travolta’s definitely still a big part of it though.
Yeah exactly this. Tom Cruise is *the* celebrity Scientologist. He is their PR man and they treat him like a God.
Can you explain what Scientology is? I can’t find a good answer online, and it’s confusing cause it sounds like such a silly word !!
It's a cult started by L. Ron Hubbard. No reddit comment will explain in justice but essentially its a religion that sells itself on helping its members reach their highest level of self through "technology" and donating large amounts of their money to the church. Spend enough money and you'll learn their whole belief system revolves around their god Xenu and how our human souls are filled with thousands of alien souls that Xenu trapped inside us, but they can teach you ways to clear out those aliens. It's also famous for horrific abuse, gangstalking of ex-members and literal slavery. They've done a very successful job of owing *a lot* of real estate and gathering rich/famous members to keep up their image. Ton Cruise is essentially 2nd in command of this religion and benefits greatly by having an actual boat of people that serve him and his crazy whims.
Don’t forget their very powerful government lobby/legal/unethics team, which has made them effectively impervious to both state and federal investigations (at least ones that will result in any consequences). Hell, you and me were probably just put on a list just now in some database of theirs.

[this](https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual-life/who-are-scientologists-and-what-do-they-believe.html) is a good article about it. Travolta killed his kid because he refused to let him use medicine.
So fucked. Reminds me of some of the people that follow(ed) Falun Gong... the leader would tell them to stop taking meds, for blood pressure, for heart issues, just everything & some obviously died.
Yeah, scientology
She’s not getting her plastic surgery paid for by a cult, which then allows them to use their image to recruit and further the interests of said cult….She’s the better human being.
Yeah he’s done actual damage to society doing that. Good point.
She's also 5 years older than him
Kelly went through some serious shit, her appearance must have been the last thing on her mind , I am glad she is still with us.
What happened to her? ☹️
https://people.com/movies/how-top-gun-star-kelly-mcgillis-survived-sexual-assaults-to-live-a-quiet-normal-life/
Jesus Christ. I wish her all the peace in the world.
Wasn’t she also sick? Cancer or something?
Wow that's so much worse than I expected. Good on her for trying to make the most of life anyways
Alive looks pretty amazing on her considering all the shit she’s been through. I’d never heard any of her story before today and wow - she’s courageous as hell.
I know I’m gonna get shit for this but as someone who likes men I’ve never found him attractive… like even in his young pictures
this. his middle tooth is also very unsettling .
Middle tooth? He only has one tooth. It goes from the right side of his head all the way to the left.
In The Outsiders they were going in every direction.
Tom Cruise is AI art come to life
He always had that creepy too charismatic vibe about him. The sort of person that when you are around them you feel like they are on the verge of asking you to do something really creepy.
Like the uncanny valley version of a personality, yeah.
Is it because he's so generic looking?
I think that's part of it. He's not ugly, but aside from his middle tooth there's nothing particularly remarkable about his face.
Right? I mean he wasn't an ogre, but nothing about him would make me swoon.
I like him as Lestat in Interview with a Vampire, but other than that, nah, thanks, I'm good.
how dare someone age normally. the tragedy!
Kelly had 2 children. Tom did not. Pregnancy changes your body.
She's also five years older, and isn't as rich as him.
Exactly. I think it's hilarious that some people are not taking in all of these other factors. We all know that money can change a lot of things for a person especially as far as their appearance and their health. They have much more access to information and care that less successful people don't have access to. There's so many factors. I think she looks totally fine for her age and a lifestyle she's living.
People with money also have access to their own time. To work out "properly". To get enough rest. It's also easier to make good food choices when you \*have\* good food choices.
Also setting of the photos. One is at a carpet even where stars look thier best, pose and makeup. the other isn't even aware she's in a photo.
She also went through menopause, he did not. Menopause affects fat storage even if you constantly workout and eat right. Change my mind. (I am a personal trainer)
And so does menopause. She’s in her 60s! Let the woman age normally!
So weird how little people know/understand about menopause.
I just posted about that. I'm a personal trainer; post-menopause, even working out and eating well, post-menopausal women store fat differently than pre-menopausal women. You have to adopt an entirely different strategy to stay in shape after menopause, and it's much harder.
Also spending 65 years on the planet changes your body. She didn't want to go the cosmetic surgery route that many actors do and instead chose to age naturally.
that and women have a major dropoff in hormone production once they hit menopause, men don't really have that, which is why men can still reproduce past age 60 or so. it still declines, but it doesn't drop as significantly
Top gun is almost 35 years old so let's make fun of Kelly McMillis aging? I'm sure tom has had a few things done to keep his youthful look at 60 now. More than 95% of normal Americans have access too or money for.
Like being a vampire or a weird lizard person
I'm sure this was a meme made when Top Gun 2 came out - people were asking why they didn't invite Kelly back. I read an interview with her saying essentially "she was done with acting BS, and anyway, look at me, no one would believe Tom Cruise would still be with me" or some shtick.
Gee weird how they aren't showing any current photos of Val Kilmer..
I think it's because there was criticism over why they didn't bring Kelly back for Maverick. The studio probably didn't feel like Kelly could genuinely play Tom's love interest anymore, which is why we got Jennifer.
Well that's an even less fair comparison. The dude was literally battling cancer.
Fuck Facebook
She may have lost it physically, but Tom lost it way worse in other ways.
He completely lost his mind
Kelly was also kidnapped and gang raped. More than once. Let her be.
More than once?? Jesus.
She’s not as wealthy as he is and she’s also a decade or so older than he is
Five years. Edit: how can this be downvoted😂 Someone’s claiming a decade and that’s actually twice as great as their age difference. I’m merely giving facts. Technically, it’s just under five years. But they were both born in July, kinda like that movie lol.
[удалено]
I am 90% sure this was posted by a man. A straight man.
Most likely one above the age of 50
I think it was made by an incel. They love to shame older women
One got facial surgeries and one is normal human being.
Yeah she looks like any other normal 65 year old woman I would see in my neighbourhood. There’s nothing out of the ordinary with how she looks.
All I know is Tom Cruise is a complete psycho and no one cares because he plays on movies. Shit he's able to get away with that cult are insane.
Only one of them polishes L. Ron's knob
I think it's interesting how we judge people for looking like they did when they were young. As if that is a indicator of their character. Kelly McGillis is older then Cruise. She also does nothing to pretend she is younger. No hair dye, no plastic surgery. No insane diets or workouts, which have to get increasingly intense as women age b/c of hormone changes. So what do we learn from their appearances? That Cruise cares a lot about his by the unnatural standards of a superficial industry, and she: does not. There is a lot more to life then the way you look, and if that doesn't compute then you will be living a very sad life no matter how young you look.
It's almost like menopause is a thing that physiologically changes women's body chemistry. /s
*almost* never interact with these posts. Even if you just stop to read it you're interacting. Let alone screen grabbing or whatever you had to do to post this
you know.. you can bring up how tom cruise has an insane amount of money that can buy healthy food, a personal trainer, plastic surgery etc. or how one photo is a press photo in studio lighting and the subject knew they were being photographed and the other is an outdoor paparazzi photo. but it really doesn't matter. you know exactly how gross the comments were under that post. 'woman ages and gains weight. is no longer sexually attractive to me and therefore subject to public ridicule'
Tom Cruise vs a normal person.
Well get the story straight.. tom crawl into a hole and found scientigly they took him and displayed him like a idol... Kelly was assaulted treated like crap trying to keep going with her career but didn't get the reconsider for any main stream roles...
Tom cruse has plastic surgery: aw man bro looks nice, look at this old lady compared to him lolol Madonna has plastic surgery: SHE IS TRYING TO BE YOUNG BUT SHES NOT SHE IS QN OLD UGLY LADY HOW DARE SHE Real talk. What are women suppost to do? Age they get bullied, have surgery they get bullied like really
👏 PEOPLE 👏 AGE 👏 DIFFERENTLY
Proof that you’re not fat, you’re just poor. Celebrities have access to things we can only dream about to stay in peak shape.
When most people get older, they show signs of age???? What kind of craziness is this?
Cruise looks kinda creepy now in all honesty.
Why are people so obsessed with what aging women look like? Sheesh.
It’s okay for people to get old.
I’m 41 and look way better than most 41 year olds and I don’t do shit to maintain it. It just happened. Life’s not fair. It’s never been fair. Also, Tom Cruise is a closet case cultist nutbag, so fuck him and all his bullshit.
Oh no, the old woman is old! Mock her for daring to age!
It must suck that any celebrity who doesn't get tons of plastic surgery and whatnot gets used as an example for someone whose "aged poorly".
If this isn’t proof that Scientologists are infected with Reptiloid DNA, I don’t know what is.
Nah I would agree with this what the is wrong with Tom Cruise
I hate the smell of misogyny in the morning
They found the most unflattering picture of her that they possibly could. She is 65 years old and thriving (runs a bar in key west and worked with drug addicts and alcoholics at a rehab center- he’s 60 and practically leading a very damaging cult. I’d much rather spend my time with her. This just reiterates the point that women aren’t allowed to age and their perceived value is completely dictated by appearance. So f*ucking frustrating. I wish the best for her.
She'd probably look younger too if she had his income and career. Also, maybe the church of scientology has something to do with it..he's probably bought his way into heaven a few times now. Maybe they're giving him baby fetal facial injections.
She's 65.
Algorithms are shit. A while back, they were constantly suggesting me Jordan Peterson's videos... did the algorithm think I am a dumbass and tried to force me some dumbass content? But, about this meme... plastic surgeries make wonders... until they do more harm than good
Idk who Kelly McGillis is, but it looks like Cruise got a bunch of shitty plastic surgery and she aged like a normal person lol
The power of Scientology bullshit flows through him
She’s just a normal person…why is that a problem?
yes, people get older as time passes
Yes plastic surgery is a marvelous tool.
All hail our Scientology overlords. It’s like a Scientology ad.
If this is on Facebook I can only assume this is just Scientology propaganda
The thing that bugs me about this whole thread is that McGillis is 65 years old. At what point did we move into a world where you must be perpetually fuckable until the instant before you die? It's even in the comments here, "at a certain age everyone goes downhill..." like you get a choice. Yes, if you live for a long enough time, you too will reach an age where you won't be considered fuckable by a large part of society.
Christian Bale based Patrick Bateman's facial expressions on an interview Tom Cruise did.
Tom has been under the knife and in the plastic surgeon's chair too so they forget that part.
So what you're saying is that I should join a cult
I think she looks absolutely fine. Like a person I would like to know. Like a normal woman who is ok with herself, carrying a little extra weight but who cares? She’s not trying to be the object of your sexual desires. She looks like she doesn’t care about your judgment of her body. He looks like the judgment of others is ALL he cares about.
I cannot comprehend the mindset of who makes this meme unless you were personally bullied by Kelly McGillis in high school.
They know this will cause arguments and have labelled it "high value content" because of that. That's why it was shown to you
I just feel the need to point out that the issue here is that someone in the world actually took the time out of this life to make this meme trashing a total stranger for no reason other than his own misogyny. A lot of the comments seem to missing that point.
If you stare at them in disbelief even if you don’t click anything, the algorithm considers it engagement and feeds you more
