I am pretty ok with my age right now. But a decade later, I’d love to look my age now. We like to be complimented on how younger we look, right? Here are the most original compliments ever.

* You are aging backwards!!!

When Edward Norton (41) appeared on a morning show recently, the host couldn’t help but exclaim “you are aging backwards!” And she is right! The guy looks amazing and no way near 40. Fingers crossed, someone will say this and mean it when I am 41.

*In 20 years, I’ll look exactly the same – minus the hair.

 

Jon Bon Jovi hosted Saturday Night Live in 2007. The opening skint took place in 1987- 20 years before, during Bon Jovi’s slippery when wet days. Now, although it seems like Jon was complimenting himself, he is not the one who wrote the stint. And all the SNL crew needed to make Jon look 20 years younger was to put on a wig. Yep, the guy looked pretty OK for a 45 year-old.

* In the year 3000, Rob Lowe will show signs of age.

 

If you ever watched, Conan O’Brien, you probably ran across his in the  year 3000 stint. The set gets into a sci-fi futuristic atmosphere where he talks about the events in 3000 along with Andy Richter.One of those events was about Rob Lowe starting to look older in 3000. Because well, he does look good. He might have gotten work done (I don’t know exactly) but I am interested in the end result. And hey, it is a pretty cool thing to say about a 46 year-old-guy.

What do you think?

    I’m not sure of all this but nowadays there are plenty of tools like airbrushing and botox. Of course there’s the story of Brad Pitt turning from a old fart into a young and handsome chap. Still there’s plenty of special effects going about.:)

    The one that gets me – “You look good for your age”. I am not sure if that means you are old or if you just don’t look ancient.

    @ deepblue: Yep. Keanu Reeves is just starting to show signs of age and he should- he is 45! Edward Norton is like barely 30.

    @ Sharif: Yep, there is make-up and air-brushing but they won’t help if you have just totally let yourself go, like mel gibson.
    And as for botox, I am not against it if your expressions aren’t harmed. And hey, not everyone can play his 20 year-old self. ;)
    So thats kudos to make-up department and the actor’s looking after himself;)

    @ Vİdeomark: Yep, that’s a tricky one. But hey, saying “you are aging backwards” is pretty cool. It is even cooler that if people think you haven’t changed much in 20 years. Hell, if Jon got work done, I want his doctor’s number!!!!
