Their work to change Ioan is very good, but it is difficult to accept an older Ioan and that will also be when he is really older. I will always love the young Ioan with dark curled hair and dark eyes and when I think at him, I always see him as Horatio, a young, gorgeous, lovely boy who steels many hearts. I love Ioan in historical movies as an actor in action, and not as a man in a distinguished suit. Hopely one day I will get used to it. :oops:

I know what you mean, marthe. :cool: The 'Ioan in our heads' always far outweighs reality. Fortunately, thanks to the magic of film (and those good old rose-tinted specs :wink:) we will always have that gorgeous boy, as well, as his older, maybe wiser self, and there's something to be said for him too! Gosh, I must stop taking those philosophy pills :roll:

Got to admit young Ioan is cute, but I think he's maturing very nicely in his looks. For me, it's something underlying that outside "beauty" that has always drawn me, whether it be joy, humor or some unnamed something he's able to present as an actor. I think he'll always retain that. I'm not so fond of the blue eyes, but with Ioan's bone structure, he should always be a handsome man.

I agree with you Gaff, it is the outside that counts. And yes Ioan has a very fine bone structure and will always be a charming, warm man. :love:

I'm of the persuasion that the Boy-o will only get better with age,like fine wine or lovely diamonds! I'm willing to stick around and see for myself what happens in those quarters...........

Me, too. I'll be what the 100 year old woman when he hits Sean Connery status. :roll:

THAT'S okay. As long as our eyes are good,and our hearts and minds are young,who cares! Shine on, pretty Boy-o diamond,shine on................

Thinking of another 'Oldie but Goodie' - Paul Newman, who also has the bone structure to remain attractive, even in his eighties (and the ole baby blues still have that twinkle!)

Stevie, got to admit that Mr. Newman makes twinkly blue eyes worth watching.

I read here in the newspaper that Paul Newman is very ill from cancer and that he has only a few weeks left to live. I do not know if it is true. They showed us these pictures. Paul as a very handsome man. I really loved his blue eyes, and Paul as an ill man. Very sad.

Aw, that is very sad indeed. I had not heard that news :no no . At least Paul has a wonderful career in movies to look back on and be immensely proud of. I also understand he has a close, loving family - a rich man, indeed!
