When did Ted Danson start looking so old?

GAH! My eyes! That site is wrong on so many levels. I feel like I've just had a lobotomy.

I was really hoping for a look at Jennifer Ehle.

A fave of mine, at any age.

Well he is old, fer cryin' out loud. It happens, you know. Props to 'im for not getting all cosmetic surgeried and stuff.

Ah, I think he looks alright. Frankly, I agree with the poster who applauded his NOT USING botox, etc. He might do with an eyebrow trim, but other than that, I think he looks fine.

Oh, absolutely, it's great that he's ageing naturally and not resorting to insanely bad McCartney-esque dye jobs or jamming his face full of botox - I was just surprised to see him look like that after not seeing much of him for a couple of years.

I think he looks great. He looked much better in Damages (i.e., distinguished, almost stately) than he ever did on Cheers. I say, good for him.

He's been on the last few seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm, looking pretty much like this. He's pretty good on the show (playing himself).

I had the same feeling about Alan Alda about a decade ago.

I'm not really a fan of Curb Your... so haven't seen him in anything since Becker, hence my surprise.

He looks like an attractive 60 year-old man.

chuckdarwin - the mister was looking over my shoulder when I clicked on the link and his reaction was pretty much the same as yours.

He could do with an eyebrow trim, other than that he's pretty hot. As in handsome older man. Handsome men tend to do the eternal young (or eternal 30-something) bit until near 50 and then suddenly age hits them, but he looks quite good. He hasn't gotten all fat and saggy around his face, for example.

Hey, when he was on Cheers, he was a RETIRED ballplayer, and that was 25 years ago.

(If you want a bad look on him, btw, try Harry Potter glasses.)

Oh, and he looked pretty commanding in Saving Private Ryan, although I had a hard time getting past "Hey! It's Sam!"
