Man, I tell you what- Prince seems like he don't age like most people do. I have seen recent pictures, like the one posted on here with him and Mani at the b-ball game. I know he hasn't had plastic surgery, and the man is almost 45! When my dad was 45, he had really gray hair and some wrinkles, and now my dad is 49, and he must dream of looking as good as Prince does! In fact, Prince looks better now than he did in the early 80's (IMHO).

My question is for Prince or those who know him-

What is the secret, and can you share it? And if there is no secret, what do you do or eat to maintain yourself and your looks?

Peace,

JD

I think it is all in the genes...

And truth be told JDodson when you look at Prince close up, you can see his age..

And yes he does look very nice..

I've never seen him close up. But you are right, he does look well for almost 45. I haven't aged much yet, but I am only 26. I've got a long way to go.


Peace,

JD

it's like mama sag said--all in the genes. the same thing runs in my family, youthful looks...

JDODSON said:

Yes, JD you are just a babe... I am you daddy's age, and I don't look a day over 50!

well he was aging.. but he got some face surgery.. for sure under his eyes..

but hey it looks perfect! There is nothing wrong as a performer to get a little work, to feel good about yourself! Plus it helps to not look 44

Prince you got some natural looking work!

Let's not forget, the guy wears more make-up than Pete Burns.

his face seems a lot slimmer than it was in the 80s & 90s. what might account for that?

i think that his diet and the fact he dont drink has a lot 2 do with his slim face although i dont really think it looks that much thinner

ThreadBare said:

yep...he wuz rockin the baby fat earlier in his career...

red beans and rice didn't miss him!

Did prince drink and do drugs i dont really no if so when did he stop and r there any stories of him being wasted or anything like that

Y'all trippin, he ain't had no surgery. And when the camera gets up on him you CAN see a little something happening under the eyes, but that's the only sign of aging I see on him. He looks great, could stand to tone down the makeup a taste - don't end up like Little Richard up in hea!! :O

CalhounSq said:

but the brotha's never needed makeup in the first place...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

TRUE But he feels prettier in it & I'm fine w/ him wearing it, just don't cake the shit on! TOO FINE for that!!

CalhounSq said:

Hell you two talking about?

He's covering up that stupid "slave" he tattoo'd on his cheek.

CalhounSq said:

Come on now, you know he needs to keep up with that 20 something year old!

Little Richard!

LaVisHh said:

Now you KNOW there's gonna be a thread within' the hour asking, "Did he REALLY tatoo 'slave' on his cheek??!" :O :O

sag10 said:

Nah, he's 3 fine, don't need no makeup!!

Yes, 4 fine he is...and he does wear makeup on stage...

Geez, I long for his sexy days! Oh well, upward and onward.

CalhounSq said:

sho' don't. (think this is the only pic i can find of 'im, sans makeup...)

Some people look good for their age. My Dad is 61 and he doesn't look anything like you'd imagine a 61 year old to look. He doesn't dye his hair, he isn't going bald. He is French Mauritian and so has a dark complexion, which I think helps keep him looking youthful. I think this also goes some way to helping P look so youthful. Plus Prince is just such a hornbag that I'm sure when he is 70 I will still want to suck his schlong

He's the real Peter Pan, not Michael Jackson.

Saw him up close a while back, he didn't look like he was wearing any makeup at all, and he really does look good. Like everybody his age, he has lines around his eyes that are getting to be noticeable. He doesn't look like he's still 30, but he doesn't really look 45 (or whatever age he is) either. I imagine he takes very good care of himself. And the man has no body fat. Gotta love that vegan diet. . .

When you have the money Prince has you can buy the best of everything, the best makeup, the best creams, etc.

How does anybody know that he didn't have plastic surgery?

Some people age well, especially rich people, but his nose and lips look smaller today than in the early 80's.

Oh bloody damn heyyylll.
