As Tom Cruise gets older, his on-screen love interests stay the same age
Business Insider ^ | September 27, 2017 | Meg Shields

American Made premieres this week, bringing two reunions with it: Tom Cruise and Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman, and Tom Cruise and his ever-growing age gap with his female co-stars. Sarah Wright (who plays Cruise’s wife in the film) was born in 1983 just a couple months after the premiere of Risky Business, making her 22 years Cruise’s junior. Which is somewhat uncomfortable.

I am guilty after 6 beers...
She is Chronologically Gifted, I am Chronologically Challenged so it will never work. I’m gonna try anyway.

Depends on your point of view.

Meg sounds jealous. Last I heard Cruise looks like he “hasn’t aged in 35 years” so whatever 30 something actress he works with is fine. Age is just a number if you take care of yourself.

Darn!! What’s your secret?

I’m stuck at 17, but my drivers license says I’m 62.

Who cares? I know a 60 year old man in Brazil who showed me a picture of his beautiful 25 year old girlfriend.

The next time I saw him he told me he dumped her, much to my surprise.

Then he showed me a picture of his new girlfriend — a gorgeous 23 year old woman!

The point is, the dirty-old-man label is an American cultural hangup. In most other countries marriage is more about taking care of someone and their extended family, and less about the sex.

(though I’m sure my 60 year old friend is in good enough shape to enjoy that part too)

Isn’t that true of pretty much all leading men? I remember Sean Connery in the later James Bond movies was frolicking around with the same 20 year old ladies even when he was pushing 60...

“The first rule in Geriatric Club is nobody talk about Geriatric Club.”

Reading about Fonda and Redford talking about their new movie starring old people and about old people ... I don’t want to see movies about old people. I would probably be considered an ‘old people’.

There are exceptions. Secondhand Lions is an example.

I like to look at young hotties.

It’s freaky!

I thought the guy was like 47 TOPS just at a glance.

Must be some secret Scientology black magic.

I believe you are referring to Roger Moore, who by the time he did ones like For Your Eyes Only (1981) and most definitely View to A Kill in (1985) the leading Bond girls were young enough to be his daughter. But Connery did Never Say Never Again in 1983 and that of course featured Kim Basinger.

In a womans mind, you are never older than 12.....

Too many teachers, especially, take it from there for the next five years or so.

Good one. I find men with much younger women just as creepy as women with much younger men. I’m sure there are exceptions, but for the most part, it’s just creepy.

One of my buddies, age 45, was boasting at the bar one day. He wife walked and he says to her, age about 40, better be careful or I will exchange you for 2 20s. She looked him in the eye and said: you are not wired for 220, care to continue with the discussion.

Silence.

Yeah, I liked Secondhand Lions as well. I prefer TCM B&W movies myself.

Math wise, 25 can go into 55 more than 55 goes into 25.

I imagine that some women visualize their partner as 25. Lol.

Simple math. 25 goes into 63 more times than 63 into 25.

But I digress.....
