    Forget whether the photos accurately reflect her age. She is a beautiful and talented actress who has aged gracefully.

    I’ve had a crush on her since 10 year old me saw her in Oscar.

      My point exactly!

      Same, except it was Only You when I was 11 😁🥰

    Fuck the obsession with looking like 20-year-olds our whole life. Wrinkles show the lives we’ve lived and the fun we’ve had and we don’t need to hide that from anybody.

      This isn’t an anti wrinkles/aging post, it’s a Marisa Tomei appreciation post.

      If you check out the pics from this year I posted in reply to a naysayer, you’ll see that she HAS wrinkles now and I’d argue she looks better than ever.

        Then why post the one where her wrinkles don’t show? You might have posted this in appreciation of Marisa Tomei, but you can’t control how other people viewing it feel about it and it feels like an anti-aging post.

          Because that’s the post I found elsewhere 🤷🏻

          you can’t control how other people viewing it feel

          Sure.

          That’s just as true as the fact that your feelings don’t control the intent of others or indeed objective reality 🤷🏻

            We can still be mindful of how other people perceive our messages. Perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards promoted by hollywood is not how I want to live my life, but you do you.

        And yet, men in hollywood are allowed to look old while women all have to look like a teenager to be cast as anything other than a witch/grandma. We have normalized a very abnormal beauty standard and the least we can do is to stop perpetuating it by sharing these kinds of pictures.

          In very broad and entirely unbinding terms, some women have always found older men attractive because younger men are chaotic, emotionally charged, erratic, and not as safe a bet as an older one. This is normal human behaviour, or at least a variation of it, not some one-up men pulled on women.

          I say unbinding in the sense that its a general pattern and far from a hard rule.

        That’s just a bad photo. These are all from 2026:

        She may not look QUITE as youthful as in the OP, but you can’t deny that she looks great for any age, let alone 61 lol

          But I can actually believe she is in her 60s in these pictures. The one in the OP is either much older or very photoshopped

            That’s fair. I found the meme elsewhere. I’d probably have chosen one of the ones from this year for the second pic if I’d made it myself…

            If you’re referring to plastic surgery, Botox and fillers, they’re also the same reason MAGAface monsters look terrible. The difference is that anything she’s had done was done with skill and restraint. Her face and body still look like they belong to her, with her individual personality and features preserved.

            You can criticize, but every wrinkle costs an actress money and opportunities, much more so than male actors.

              I’m not criticizing. I’m just saying this post is mostly about how good her plastic surgeon is. You have full right to be impressed by that. I’m not.

        I’m Iike 90% sure OPs photo is when she was doing Spiderman. So no not when she was 30.
