8 Sexiest Senior Citizens
Old people can be sexy! Here are some examples.
When you think of the word "sexy" you probably conjure media-friendly images that include smooth skin, shiny hair and a tight body, all in a package whose expiration date is in the second half of this millennium. But, glossy magazine pages and summer blockbusters aside, young people don't have a monopoly on sexiness. 5 Reasons To Grow Old With Someone
A long life gives a person time to cultivate self-knowledge, acceptance of his flaws and appreciation for her strengths. Crest-white-stripped teeth and a spray-tanned bod can create superficial beauty, but you can't fake decades of experience. With this in mind, YourTango has put together a list of the eight sexiest senior citizens. Young Hollywood, pay attention. This is how you want to turn out.
Jack Nicholson combines roguish charm and sleazy ladies man into an irresistibly sexy parcel. The 72-year-old actor has bedded more women than we'd care to know about, and he's got a bit of a belly, but how can you not love a man who takes such (albeit unhealthy) joy in life?
Tina Turner turns 70 in 2009, but her spirit and performances show that your seventh decade of life can be h-o-t. She's been singing and acting for most of her life and the 2009/2009 Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour was one of the best-selling concert series ever. If only we all looked this good at 70.
Clint Eastwood. If confidence and cool are sexy, then few people on Earth are as sexy as Clinton Eastwood Jr. From his early tough guy turns as the Man with No Name to his soulful jobs helming Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby and Mystic River, this cowboy covers the depth and breadth of manliness. His gravely voice contain bits of wisdom, remorse and grit that guys envy and gal swoon over.
Dixie Carter. One thing any fan of Designing Women knows is Sugarbaker women do everything gracefully. This includes aging. Dixie Carter turned 70 in 2009 and you'd never know it. The former Miss Tennessee runner-up has kept busy with recent runs on Law And Order: SVU and Desperate Housewives. Keep doing what you're doing, ma'am.
Discussion
What were you guys thinking? On the one hand, you say age is sexy due to experience.
On the other hand, the article is about how Tina Turner is hot, and if only we look this good at 70, you wouldn't know Dixie Carter is 70, Julie Andrews is a knockout, Sophia Loren is still a smoking-hot siren with a body better than most 25 year olds. The message is clear - a sexy older woman looks like she isn't old. Moreover, it's all about her looks, not her attitude.
In contrast, Nicholson gets away with roguish charm and a belly! while Eastwood is just cool and confident. Poiter is the only good-looking man on the list!
What are you guys trying to say here?
Cher is technically a senior citizen, right? I love her coolness, she's such a babe.
