Denzel is 66.
Forest Whitaker is 59.
Samuel L Jackson is 72.
Wesley Snipes is 57.
Will Smith is 52.
Eddie Murphy will be 60 in April.

Lots of black actors are quietly getting up there in age. Makes you want to go and enjoy their work before it is too late.

And no one to replace them. Only Daniel kaluya and Michael b jordan

I mean the first movie that comes to mind as “young Denzel” was an amazing dumb action movie ricochet in the early 90s and he was already almost in his late 30s. Yeah you play the 30-45 leading man character for 3 decades and eventually you actually do turn into and old man and you can’t hide that shyt.

it doesn’t matter how much of a maniac Tom Cruise is about staying young and whatever crazy camera angles they use. One day during mission impossible 28 there’s going to be a moment where everybody collectively will be like “this is obviously and 80 year old man playing a 45 year old super spy :stopitslime:“ and it’ll be over.

And it makes you wonder who will be the next generation of black actors that could replace them. None of the black actors coming up has the range or charisma like these brothers. Michael B Jordan, Daniel Kaalyua and who else???

Kevin Hart replacing Eddy Murphy??

Yea, this was Denzel 5 years ago. You would never believe he was 62 y/o here



The rapid sudden aging and change from his usual charismatic demeanor, shows he’s definitely been going through something

:francis:

5 years is a lot of time to age when you that old. 62 to 67 is physically a much different jump from 32 to 37 for example :yeshrug:

Even Jamie Foxx is 53 :wow:

He's vibrant and moves much younger though.


Where is black Hollywood gonna be in 20 years as far as leading men?

He can't look like an 80s R&B singer forever
