1. Damn she DOES look like Jennifer Lawrence

[hamsterjill]

10. Sorry, but I have to correct this.

Jennifer Lawrence might look like Helen Mirren, but Helen was the original!!! LOL

Helen Mirren is amazing.

[BeyondGeography]

2. Most everyone was hot once

Even if it was just for a day. Or, like, part of a day.

[TeapotInATempest]

3. Honestly, what they really mean

is "famous people you never realized were once young".

Ricky Gervais, though - holy moly! I never would have recognized him.

[DetlefK]

4. Being young is not the same as being hot.

[TeapotInATempest]

7. I agree

and I wasn't commenting on anyone's relative hotness. It's more that, to me, many of these people just look like younger versions of themselves today. I think sometimes younger people forget that older people were not born old!

6. I agree.

I guess 'hot' is in the eye of the beholder.

5. Helen Mirren now (from 2016, age 70):

[Yavin4]

8. She should be Queen of England

If they insist on having that sort of thing.

[bif]

11. She is from Russian royalty, after all.

[Aristus]

14. Still smoking hot!...

Her surprise kiss on Stephen Colbert's show is still one of the sexiest things I've seen in years...

[democratisphere]

9. Many of these now mature folks are actually still "hot".

You just need a more discerning eye.

[Major Nikon]

17. True, but Alex Jones looks like a lump of shit

[Bengus81]

12. Don't know about hot,but thanks Bob Ross almost 27 years after you died.........

For all the great paintings which Netflix and Amazon have loaded up on. It's nice to turn off all the Trump noise and BS and watch 2 or 3 of his Joy of painting shows and relax.

I can understand why his son Steve didn't pursue the shows when he died,just one Bob Ross and his way of doing a show.

13. Happy little trees

[Skittles]

15. King of ASMR

loved Bob Ross, used to tape his shows on my VCR just to listen to his calm voice

[NightWatcher]

16. Ernest (Jim Varney) looked like Javier Bardem

[3catwoman3]

18. With his wonderful and sultry bass voice, James...

...Earl Jones is still hot, IMO.

[WinkyDink]

19. Okay, for my taste, this is the Perennial Winner:

20. I had a *huge* crush on Shari Lewis when I was a youngin'
