because he's got that bit of padding!

Actually, if he wanted to do the "desperate Hollywood" thing, it would take next to nothing to turn him into "older leading man" material. His face is in very good shape, his skin is youthful, he'd just need to give that chin a little of that injection melt business and maybe do a little neck lift.

And, as Donald Trump will tell you, it's OK to carry a few extra pounds if you're a man--that means you're "successful." It's only the women who merit shaming for straying from perfection in their appearance...!

Note to jury: This post is ironic. It is mocking, not in any particular order, Hollywood beauty standards, Donald Trump, and gender-based beauty imperatives.
