You know what they say; if it ain't broke, don't fix it! He's perfect already

SusiGo · November 19, 2013 9:42 pm

True. And I prefer his face when it is not heavily made up. Remember the Emmys when he was totally plastered with make-up?

My thoughts exactly. That one is also too much

Oh, I liked the altered one already, but the original is even better.

It's much too perfect-looking, airbrushed-looking. Makes him look like his own twin, or a younger brother of himself or something. Very, very pretty, of course. But IMO, the man's looks don't need to be tinkered with-- some people have too much time on their hands, I guess-- he is perfect, just the way the universe made him, as perfect as a human being can get, anyway. Not that I'm biased or anything, nooooo..... *smile*

Yes, it is. If you scroll down here you will find what I think might be the original. Which is beautiful enough.

OH, thank you, Susi. I hadn't seen this. Now THIS is perfect, just the way he'd appear if one of us were blessed enough to meet him! Lovely.

The original definitely is all I need!

Exactly that. Why mess with perfection?

Wow…. seriously! I knew it had been altered, but didn't recall the original among the other pics in that set that I'd seen. So much nicer… there comes a point where it looks too plasticized!

I 100% agree with you!

Not dressed yet, but a good morning to you!

Russell · November 20, 2013 6:00 am

Good…. morning? Someone's up early. Ah, well… we're all tired and this party is boring, anyway……

Will never understand why the media feels the need to airbrush the character out of everyone.

I know this is old, old, old news, but just because I saw Jamie live in concert yesterday...
