Hollywood has some of the most attractive men in the entertainment world, and they never seem to age after so many years of hard work and excellent delivery. The Wolves’ co-stars, Brad Pitt and George Clooney top the list as one of the most handsome men of the time.
Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, and John Stamos are not left out on the topic of Hollywood’s most gracefully aging men. Each has shared the secrets to their youthful looks and charm, and as you read on, you too can take a cue or two from these fit celebrities.
Brad Pitt
Pitt has been charming since acting in his younger years. It is not surprising that he has been named one of the most handsome men in the world, and he only gets better with age. Pitt is known for playing high-energy roles involving a lot of physical strain—he detailed that planning for these roles, clean eating, and regular exercise has helped improve his physique.

Greg Rementer, a veteran stunt coordinator, attested to Pitt’s intense preparation for his roles, noting that he goes into months of training before production. “Brad wanted to do the majority of the stunts himself, which isn’t always the case,” Rementer, who worked with Pitt on 2022’s Bullet Train, said. “For him, it was possible because not only is he a great comedic actor, but he’s also a physically gifted athlete.”
In September 2022, Pitt launched a wine-inspired skincare line named Le Domaine. He partnered with the Perrin family, a french winemaking family who is also behind his winery, Chateau Miraval. Pitt attributes his great skin to Le Domaine, saying he would not have launched without using and experiencing the products firsthand.
“I get sent stuff all the time and… ugh. It’s just all the same for me. But this last year we have been testing Le Domaine and I was really surprised by the results, and that for me, made it worth going forward,” Pitt told Vogue in September 2022. The skincare line features a cleansing emulsion, a serum, and a face cream that contain grapevine-derived ingredients. In line with his skincare company, Pitt addressed the pressure in Hollywood to remain young and flawless, calling it “a fairytale.”
“Something we discussed (in founding Le Domaine) was this headline of ‘anti-aging.’ It’s ridiculous. It’s a fairytale. But what is real is treating your skin in a healthy manner,” Pitt added. “And it’s something I’ve learnt to do for my business, but it kinda makes you feel better.”
George Clooney
Named the world’s most attractive man in 2017 according to London’s Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery, Clooney’s good looks have been a hot topic throughout his career, asides from his acting prowess. The 59-year-old was rated 91.86% on a digital face mapping based on the Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi, an ancient standard of physical perfection.
Cloneey shared some of his aging secrets with The Mirror in 2010, revealing that he does not use any specific skincare products, however, he “hits the spa and enjoys steam rooms.” In 2015, Clooney shared his thoughts about natural aging on BBC Radio, narrowing in on why he won’t go for plastic surgery or change his hair color.
“I don’t think it would make much sense. I’ve seen it happen, and particularly on men, I don’t think it works very well. I think it actually makes you look older,” Clooney told BBC Radio. “I’m a big believer in the idea that you can’t try to look younger— you can just try to look the best you can at the age you are.”
Per his diet, Clooney mentioned to People magazine that he, his wife Amal, and their twin children eat healthy home-cooked meals. Their personal Chef, Frizzi, who, according to the star, “can make anything, including handmade gnocchi with pesto that would make you cry,” handles the Clooneys’ meals.
Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise is famous for his amazing stunts and, of course— his great look. The 60-year-old Top Gun actor has maintained his youthful fitness over the years. Tom acted in the original Top Gun as a 24-year-old in 1986 and reprised his role as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick.
Tom has an upcoming movie— Mission: Impossible– Dead Reckoning Part One, where he revealed in the featurette that he and his team achieved “the most dangerous stunt” he has ever tried. For this stunt, which involved him riding a motorcycle off a cliff and then base jumping into a ravine, Tom practiced motocross training and base jumping with trainers for over a year. According to his trainers, Tom did over 13,000 jumps and over 500 skydives.
Tom credits his physical activity and diet for his youthful looks. According to E! Online, he is passionate about sporting activities like sea-kayaking, caving, fencing, treadmill, weights, rock-climbing, hiking, and jogging.
He added that he travels to every set with “Pain Cave,” a gym. “All you got to do is just be motivated. Anyone can come in, we have the crew come in, and we just make it available to everyone,” Tom said.
According to Men’s Health, David Beckham, Tom’s friend, and a popular pro soccer player formulated his diet. Tom’s strict 1200-calorie-per-day diet consists of vegetables and lean protein. He added that he eats small healthy snacks prepared by his personal chef and does not eat fried food or sugar.
“I love sugar, but I can’t eat it because when I’m training, I’m doing all these movies— so I send it to everyone,” Tom revealed during his appearance on The Late, Late Show.
Rob Lowe
Rob Lowe became famous as a teenager and a member of the “Brat Pack” in the 1980s. Rob attributes his youthful looks to stopping bad habits such as drinking in his 20s. “When I was in my mid-20s it was: I’ve got to stop drinking,” Rob told Today a few years back. “Then it became, ‘I need to find a workout that I love, following by starting to eat better, and cutting out things like sugar.'”
He continued, “You get to that point in your life where you realize you’ve got to stop eating like you’re in college. Each year just requires a little bit more discipline and focus as I get older.” The 58-year-old celebrity spokesman for the Atkins diet, also added that although he does not diet, he lives a low-carb lifestyle to stay healthy while also getting inspiration from others regarding exercising.
“Don’t get me wrong, I still love pasta and pizzas. But I know that they’re a special treat. In my business, I don’t have the option to not be at my best. So, I just make healthy choices most of the time. I never diet,” Rob said. “I’m always doing some activity and trying to steal from other people’s lifestyles. I love reading what Tom Brady is up to or what The Rock is doing. It keeps things fresh,” the Wild Bill actor continued.
Rob launched his skincare line in 2019 in collaboration with the Wounded Warriors Project. He started Profile Cobalt to encourage young men, including his sons, to take care of their skin.
John Stamos
John praises his good genes for his great looks, telling E! News in 2015 that he is lucky and that his “parents did well.… they looked good.”
John shared his fitness regimen in 2016, revealing that he enjoys pilates and swimming, with some pull-ups and cardio incorporated into his routine. “They give me that lean look and strengthen my core,” John said.
Despite his busy schedule, John makes sure to get eight hours of sleep every night. He achieves this by going to bed before midnight in order to wake up early to read and meditate. John went viral for his post on Instagram in 2016, where he revealed a “secret weapon” behind his young face. In the post, he had on a Bioxidea Miracle 24 Face Mask for men and captioned the post— “#SecretWeapon No more Greek yogurt facials, bioxideausa all the way.”
In addition to his skincare and physical activities, John follows a strict Mediterranean diet of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, seafood, beans, and nuts.
