How stunning were old male Hollywood celebs? Many of them were quite dashing, with their impeccably styled hair and chiseled features.
Some of the most famous ones were Cary Grant, Clark Gable, and Sean Connery. They had a certain je ne sais quoi that made them incredibly attractive.
The way they carried themselves oozed confidence and charm. No wonder so many women were swooning over them!
These days, it seems that male celebrities are more concerned with their abs and biceps than anything else. It's all about being super ripped and looking good in a pair of shorts.
There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but it's nice to see that some men still know how to dress up and look dapper. After all, nothing is more attractive than a man who takes pride in his appearance.
There's no denying that Hollywood is obsessed with youth and beauty. But there are a few old celebs out there who manage to look dashing, even in their later years.
We all know that Hollywood is a place where people can sometimes look a little... different than they do in real life. Thanks to the magic of movies and TV, we've seen some pretty drastic transformations over the years.
But sometimes, it's not just the characters on screen who go through major changes. The actors themselves can age quite a bit between roles - or even just over the course of their careers.
It's always fascinating to see how different people look as they get older. And in the case of these old male celebs, it's especially interesting to compare their current selves to their younger selves.
So without further ado, here are the now and then pictures of 32 old male celebs.
