It means they may have to find a new niche to shine in. Jack Black looked a lot different in the first photos he sent out to agencies as he began his career as an actor. Thirty years later and the man looks damn-near unrecognizable from his old self…
Even as Black gained weight in his thirties, he still maintained a somewhat square jaw and face — while never the jacked-to-the-bones Hollywood stereotype with a six pack, he wasn’t a badlooking chap for much of his career.
And now he’s obese, out of shape and has a beard like Saddam Hussein when they just dragged him out of his hidey hole in the desert. And guess what? He pulls it off, somehow.
I wouldn’t say Jack Black “aged gracefully”. He aged like a man in his fifties who likes fine food, who loves a beer and a barbeque and who probably is his neighborhood’s designated grillmaster. He looks like a fellow who loves life, and enjoys it greatly…
And honestly, good for him? I’d argue the happiest people in life are probably either those who remain fit through rigorous exercise and a Spartan regime and who thrive on compliments for their looks… and those who simply don’t give a damn and thrive, regardless of being in shape.
