A new look? Better jobs?


He's an OK actor, but I think if he could muscle up and take some acting lessons.
I think he needs to grow his hair a little longer, straighten it and make it more blonde. And throw some emotion into his parts. (Weird grammar, I know).
He really has the potential to be a hollywood leading man....otherwise, mediocrity will remain his middle name.

How about if he grows taller, or becomes shorter, and younger, or older while he's at it

You're ridiculous.

"Jane you ignorant sl*t"

The man is fine just the way he is.

Fine.

He's not aging, is he a vampire? Good for him. He's excellent on Secrets and Lies, everyone who doubts his skills should check it out. He's always been a skilled actor IMO.

I beg to differ. Ryan Phillippe is aging. However, it doesn't make him any less attractive. He doesn't look drawn, or wrinkled, or flabby. Nor his actual age when it comes to that. But there's no way you can say he looks like Sebastian of Cruel Intentions anymore. He looks better.

Well... I think its his acting. He's pretty mediocre, BUT he does have potential But he doesn't seem to think he could use the acting lessons, (more than half of Hollywood needs them), its just his facial expressions are none existing! On SAL he's so emotionless. But he's interesting to watch? He's a pretty man, he sure is, he's aging and he's aging damn good! But again, he could use acting lessons and boom, he can be a leading man. I also think it goes both ways, some actors are great and are so underrated and never rise above it, either b/c they choose not to, or they never get a chance.

Example? George Clooney. I like him, his acting I mean, but then when I watch him in many movies, I feel like he just walks from one set to the other with the same cocky look on his face, same tone of voice when reciting his lines, seems one dimentional to me. Then I watch another movie of his and I'm like meh he's all right. So maybe its just a matter of personal opinion?

Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.

He seems to show weight gain very easily in his face. Also, he does look better blonde, because (see him in 54) it gives him a bit of a "glow" - otherwise he's more ordinary looking. He does have a terrific smile also.

reply

Nah, he looks way better with his natural brown hair color. He looks like he should be blonde, but he looks fine just the way he isn't.

everyone ages. even if you don't wrinkle much or at all.
I get guessed 10 or more years younger. than my actual age. depends on the one looking on.

but 10 years ago I was guessed 10 years younger than now. see my point?

reply

No he's not, I came here to say exactly that, he barely aged (skin-wise) in the last 10 years, are you mad because you're aging badly?
