With men, there is never such a hype when they get old, and the same should apply to everyone else, full stop

This also includes being able to age. The more you are in the public eye, the greater the attention paid to the loss of youth by the general public.

We were born to die but no matter how old someone gets the true fire of lust for life can be seen in the eyes.

The eternal delusion of youth in our societies is like trying to catch the wind with your hands and then realising it's gone.

Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

Benjamin Franklin

The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.

Vernus more or less

Everyone has the right to age as they like and to use every aid to make this as bearable as possible.

Plastic surgery is the management of flaws, once one is removed the next comes to light. The state of perfection is therefore unattainable. It is okay for everyone to exhaust all means to come to terms with ageing. Even if you ultimately become grotesque to yourself, it's ok. The beauty of old age is based on a misconception coupled with the myth that wisdom is inherent in old age.

Youth is sweet and well, But doth speed away!, Let who will be gay, Tomorrow none can tell"

Lorenzo de' Medici

Stupid remains stupid - even age doesn't help.

Che si fugge tuttavia!

Chi vuol esser lieto, sia:

Del doman non v'è certezza.”

Javier Bardem's worst looks or Hollywood's most adaptable actor

Javier Bardem, who was born in 1969, comes from a dynasty of actors and for a long time refused to follow the predetermined road to an acting career. However, he finally accepted his destiny. His first successes came in Spain in the 1990s in films by cult director Bigas Luna, who made the young actor's screen presence shine in exaggerated macho roles: After playing a supporting role in "Lulu - The Story of a Woman" (1990), he cast him in a leading role - in "Jamon Jamon" (1992), co-starring with his current wife Penélope Cruz, and a year later in "Macho".

Bardem's instinct not to be tied down to these roles and a few coincidences changed his life: He emigrates to the USA to play roles that do not correspond at all to his previous image. This risk-taking was rewarded with worldwide fame: in 2001, he became the first Spanish actor to be nominated for an Oscar. However, he always remains loyal to Europe and more daring productions.

During his career, Javier Bardem has worked with some of the greatest directors; few European male actors can boast such an impressive filmography. In 2008, he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in "No Country for Old Men". Just two years later, he was honoured at the Cannes Film Festival for his role in Alejandro González Iñárritu's "Biutiful". In 2012, he plays an antagonist of James Bond in "Skyfall". Together with his wife Penélope Cruz, he has been a dream team in front of and behind the camera for many years, but is able to keep his private life private.

Javier Bardem - Wikipedia

I personally don't believe in film ranking, everyone should make their own judgement, but since Wikipedia is blank here, which means there is no film list of all his films, I have added the ranking to give an overview.

There are actors who play in a different dimension for me he is one of these exceptional talents.

A country for old men.

Who would have thought that you would call a coup after a regular election and not be imprisoned or even shot! No, instead you get to reach for power again and stand for election.

Just imagine if the film hero had instigated a coup d'état based on his ability to lie constantly, sexism was his daily business and deception and fraud his modus operandi coupled with homophobia and racist insinuations. Think the film would be a flop..... but wow in reality no problem.

What is wrong in a country when the poor and religious people believe that the devil's right hand is the saviour?

This type of leader appears everywhere in history and is always extremely destructive",

Do not sin when you become angry! The sun must not set on your anger! Give the devil no place in you!

Ephesians 4:26-27

Because, of course, Satan does not arrive "in person". He has his servants - and they can use wise words - mixed with a little bit of poison. And already their whole message is poisoned! Again, it was the apparent wisdom of the Corinthians that made them impervious to these attacks from the devil. They honoured people as apostles who were in reality false workers, false apostles, servants of the devil. If they had exchanged the wisdom of this world for the wisdom of God, they would have remained "simple-minded towards Christ". And that alone would have preserved them, because they would have recognised that Satan looked like an angel of light on the outside, but that the voice of the good shepherd did not speak from him. In truth, this light is darkness - and corrupts our attitude, our thoughts and our way of life.

I find it fascinating that the basic attitude towards alternative lifestyles of religious people in American society drives them right into the hands of the servants.

The Communist Party and its functionaries dominate political life at all levels of the highly centralised "party state". Political opposition movements are suppressed and their representatives prosecuted. Meanwhile, the power of President Xi Jinping, which is accompanied by a heightened cult of personality, has reached a new high.

Well, that would be something for the misanthropic ex-president of the disunited states of america. he as the great leader of the nation with a parliamentary yes-man system.

This would seal the usa's decline as a superpower and make the rise of the XI unstoppable.

First, XI grabs Taiwan while trump professes in his infinite ignorance of history that the welfare of XI is his right and does not affect the economic interests of America.

Thank you for being a friend!

The man who understands dictators and their leaders. What's all this nonsense about discussing culture in democracies when you can do everything better for yourself and the people around you.

Putin has history books rewritten for schools and universities. Ted Cruz has books banned in schools.

Fathers of an idea who ultimately do not differ in their view of society. Neither of them wants responsible, enlightened, self-determined citizens.

When books are banned or history books are rewritten, the approach is never to protect the citizens but only to preserve the power of individuals.

Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings.

Heinrich Heine

Education is the friend of propaganda. Anyone who can think for themselves and can form an overall picture based on different facts from different sources is unfortunately useless for populist propaganda.

Just ask the British what happened to the oh-so-much money they supposedly had to pay to the EU after they went through with brexit.

Oh, the money didn't exist and the bus with the cool print was just propaganda from the brexit supporters.

mod

However, there was a problem with this fact: it was patently untrue. Technically, the UK paid a gross £19.1bn into the EU budget in 2014, which equates to just over £350m a week. But thanks to Margaret Thatcher's hard-nosed negotiating skills in the 1980s, the country also receives a huge rebate of around £4.9bn, which never leaves Her Majesty's Treasury. The British also benefit from billions in various EU subsidies to the public sector. Add it all up and the UK's net contribution is around £9.9bn, just over half the amount touted by Brexit supporters. The total drops even further if you include things like the research funding the EU provides to UK universities.

You could have read about it in various sources, including books, but what the heck, gut feelings and felt facts are cooler!

There's a really clever saying: those who can read have a clear advantage.

Everyone has their own paradise, deviations from mine would not be very big here..... sometimes a small paradise on earth is preferable to an imaginary paradise in another dimension.
