Got this from Housequake. Also this is a photo from The New Yorker article. 4/9/07

It was taken in 2004 for the Entertainment Weekly photo shoot. It also appeared in Martin Schoeller's book, Closeup. The book is fantastic by the way. It shows celebrities looking like real people for once! I appreciate the honesty of this photo.

my god theres a line on his fore head ,his last picture its cleaner ,go -bo-tox prince

One my least favorites!

Ol' boy needed some ChapStix, Carmax, AND Vasoline...bad!!

Why does Prince need botox, vasoline or whatever?

I mean, why can he just look his age??? He is almost 50 for godsake, IMO he would show maturity and character when he did just quit with the whole make-up thing.

BTW, His look is very arrogant in the pics, anyone agrees?

I found his look to be shy and uncomfortable. Only Prince knows what he was feeling at the moment, but after reading what the photographer had to say about shooting the photo, I don't believe it was arrogance.

"He was sooo shy. He was looking down and avoiding any kind of eye contact - he didn't even look in the camera for the most part. I think his shyness shines through, so I was very happy with this picture."

Thanx Rani for the info on the pic....I just can't imagine Prince being so shy for a picture, I mean LOOK at all his other pictures, no sign of shyness in any of those

he need some chap stick or lip gloss

I like to see him looking older too.

I know! Poor thing.

They are all kind of creepy pictures, it looks like a shot from a morgue or autopsy.

Ya, this pic is one of the VERY FEW that I have not right clicked and saved.....yet

I like the bottom three, how it shows his one cheek mole, then he has two moles and the last pic he has no moles. Wonder if that was his idea

Wow..I didn't even notice that. Good call. It looks like they took and put his left sides together, then right sides together. Notice the buttons.

Oooh I never would have noticed that if you had not said anything....

4everYoung said:

At HQ, this was described as an experiment. I don't know if that means it was done by a fan or the photographer.

Oh wow, just noticed all the other differences with those bottom three: His hair, his mouth, his moustache, and his neck collar . . . . okay gotta give it up for the photographer on that! Love the subtle differences!!

They put left sides together, then right.

Holy crap, you're right! His face is so symmetrical that it looks almost flawless! The mole is what gives it away. Good eye!

UCantHavaDaMango said:

girl66 said:

I'm confused.....so which one of the bottom three is his real face then

The first one, right?!?

Gorgeous pic,as usual.

At least he looks better than this.

I don't care about his age. I'm a big supporter of his maturity. However, there's NO excuse for a man having crusty lips! Especially a man called Prince!

Don't like it.
