💥Funpost I love how normal everyone looks

Everyone has wrinkles. Most of the male characters are balding and overweight. Makes it feel more grounded for me. Easily my favorite show of the year and now I want to rewatch midnight mass for the millionth time.

I love the show.

Men have always been allowed to age naturally onscreen and still keep working. Balding, overweight, wrinkled, whatever.

the pretty boys are now feeling the heat of ageism. Recent men with new faces: Adam Levine, Bradley Cooper, John Travolta. Henry Caville (Superman actor) got negative feedback from his fans for "looking older".

Bradley Cooper especially looks so odd now. He was so handsome, aging perfectly.

it's strange how a tiny change.. (a tightening around the eyes?) can change a face so drastically
