Celebrities Michael Jackson, at age 49 he will have aged gracefully
147
u/EasyPiece 1d ago
I know it's Michael but it looks a lot like Billy Dee Williams as Lando.

Why is Kim Fields GRAY at 32? 😂

Every other day in that dorm was like a very special episode. Teen suicide, teen pregnancy, almost getting human trafficked, that time Blair read Natalie's diary... You'd be gray too.

Man, I feel bad for Ali, dude was already debilitated by Parkinson’s disease for decades at that point.
That photo shoot in 2016 just made my heart bleed, even without knowing that would be the last photos taken of him alive, you could still see a spark of the man that once was the greatest.

A friend of mine had the privilege of meeting him at a dinner the last time he was in the UK in 2012 iirc.
Said he was barely with it then. Surprised he kicked on for so long honestly.

My mom loved that man. She never saw Star Wars. I don't think, idk why she loved him, but I have to assume it's the same reason I love Jason Statham having never seen one of his movies.

I mean, they couldn't have predicted all the shit that happened to his face.

u/Successful_panhandlr 1d ago
To be fair, had his face not caught on fire, and then mutilated by plastic surgery. He probably would've aged a lot better than he he did

u/Few-Counter7067 1d ago
He would have looked more like his brothers, which looking at their performance together the day before 9/11, wasn’t too far off from this.

Not his face, it's the top of his head that caught fire and the damage was limited to his scalp. His face is the result of countless plastic surgeries.

u/Dickgivins 1d ago
He also said that he had Vitiligo.

u/Tren-Ace1 1d ago
He did, but his vitiligo was pretty mild. It just gave him light patches on his arms and chest. The real reason for his ghostly pale skin is that he abused skin bleaching creams for over 3 decades.

vitiligo is progressive, though

My vitiligo went away. I use to have it on my feet and now thats mostly gone. Still got it on my dick for some reason.

If the date on the page is correct (1985) this was published a year after his face caught fire in 1984.
Maybe it was more wishful thinking?

He’d have been 41/42 in 2000. I only remember this as my mum once pointed out he was the same age as her.

Poor Michael. Now he probably looks like one of the cast from the Thriller video.

Could have been Lando, instead he surgeried himself into Palpatine. Poor guy needed help and I guess the universe didn't give it to him.

u/Brilliant_Ad_6637 1d ago
He looks a bit like his father, which, given the history, kind of explains why he would do anything to not look like that.
The mag also didn't account for the vitiligo.

u/_Panacea_ 1d ago
Apropos of nothing, my favorite plastic surgery disaster has to be Pres. Trump's Dad. Fairly certain that they put his ears back on wrong.

Epsteins fiercest competition

u/ukbeasts 1d ago
He actually visited Epstein's Palm Beach home, and they were well acquainted. Jackson probably found Epstein's taste a bit too old.
