    He’s 57. Is this what the average man looks like at 57? I’m 59 and easily look a decade younger than him. My guess is that the hard life of an ex-celebrity has aged him prematurely.

      He’s the godfather of RDJ’s son, perhaps they did a lot of drugs together when they were younger before they got sober

      My neighbor looks a little bit worse for wear and is just a couple years older than him. My neighbor is a raging alcoholic though.

      Some people age faster than others, but for sure alcohol and no sunscreen will age us faster

      It may just be the picture, but his skin definitely looks rougher than Malcolm McDowell’s does. Whether or not that’s really the case or just how the two photos have been lit, processed, etc. idk. I don’t think he looks bad for 57 necessarily, probably just spent too much time in the sun without adequate protection.

        In fair-skinned people, sun damage can cause a lot of photo aging if they don’t use sunscreen. My guess is that he didn’t use a lot of sunscreen. Also, facial fat and loose skin on the neck really make you look older. McDowell is fairly lean, but you can tell that Hall is carrying some excess weight.

      Oh, aye. Though, I will note that his heel turn in Edward Scissorhands did a lot to forward his career as it was by '90.

    Because everybode who’s not a hero must be a villain? Total non sequitur, silly black and white thinking.

      I believe the joke is that Anthony Michael Hall is known for being a lovable nerd hero in 80s movies, but in his middle age, he looks a bit like Malcolm McDowell, who is known for playing the baddie in A Clockwork Orange and also in Star Trek: Generations. So… hero to villain, like the very common expression.
