Today is Johnny Depp’s birthday. And why should you care? Because the international sex symbol turns 45 today. Now, Johnny looks good, even if he is the same age as my parents. It really takes a number for me to take a step back and realize that this guy is only 5 years away from his 50th birthday. My question today is: how old is too old, or are some people just sexy forever?
I just asked my friend and fellow blogger Denise if she will find Johnny attractive in 5 years. I could see she was thinking about beating me with the plastic candy cane she was holding (don’t ask), but thankfully instead she replied with an indignant “of course”. She went on to tell me that he will be gorgeous until he dies, because he’s gorgeous. Okay then.
It’s not just Johnny who may be blessed with eternal sexiness. George Clooney is 47 now, Hugh Grant is 48, and Denzel Washington is about to turn 54. Harrison Ford has already pulled in over 253 million at the box office for starring again as Indiana Jones, and he’s pushing 66!
I’m not saying that all men age gracefully and I most certainly don’t understand some women’s preferences. Anyone who says Sean Connery is still attractive makes no sense to me and never will. Many stars in both TV and film are over 40 and still making women swoon. It’s not just some ripped, tan 20 year old that is bankable at the box office.

holy f***, johnny depp is the sexiest man to walk the Earth. Who care if he is “old”, 45 isn’t that old anyway! Just because I think he is hot doesn’t mean I want him in my pants. Common, what is so wrong with that?
