In reference to the nose, I think it was makeup contouring, the angle of his pose (as Steve Parke's pointed out in his book when P asked him why everyone thought he had a nose job), the thinner mustaches P had latter and just growing into his face. (also maybe photoshopping later in life and the way he sucked in his cheeks) the thing is that his nose goes back and forth between looking more angular and more wide back and forth throughout his life..

Nose looks wider here in 2004 than in some later pictures (BUT i THINK THERE IS SOME CONTOURING IN THE MAKEUP--BUT THROW AN AFRO ON HIM, HAVE HIM GAIN A FEW POUNDS, REMOVE THE EYE MAKEUP AND FOUNDATION, RAISE HIS CHIN , thicken the mustache AND UNPUCKER HIS LIPS AND i THINK YOU GOT YOUNG P)

2004

wider

thinner looking (pointy)

thinner

thinner

You know I always saw Prince as some kind of shape shifter. When you look at pictures of him with his family in the 1970s compared to anything post 1983 and you cant see the same man. Even during the 80s he physucally morphed from muscley to wirey. Its like he thought if im not good looking im sure as hell gonna be and he was.

I must agree with you that I have stared at different pics of him from different times and wondered is that the same man. I knew it was but... ok I have ask did he have any work done. Is that the same nose? If he did he didn’t t go overboard obviously. And during the 70’s he looked like he weighted around 135-140 So I’m guessing he dropped to 125 during his most fit time PR. So I guess that is weight loss in his face making his features a tad less round and more angular. Thoughts?

Can I just say I loved his smile and wish he would have smiled more in official photos. Supposedly he thought he had a gummy smile and that’s why the majority of his official photographs are serious. But there’s so much joy in his smile. 🙂

yes!!!!!!! joy!!!!

Absolutely no doubt. I'm positive he definitely wished he was taller though. I think his height is what allowed him not to be an arrogant $%@* about his looks. No matter what he thought about his looks, its hard for most people to overlook 5"2', and I'm sure it kept him a bit grounded.

Is this a Jealous Michael Jackson fan asking this question. The answer is yes Prince knew his looks were killer and hair. How we know this is because he never destroyed his face and changed it with plastic surgery or bleached his skin like Michael Jackson did who ended up looking like a deranged clown dressed up in a Captain Crunch Outfit with tape holding up his nose because his nose was falling off his face do to the multiple plastic surgeries Michael Jackson had on his nose. Prince was like a vanpire. He never aged. Prince had mirrors everywhere and he loved looking at himself and you can tell he also wanted to look his best. Vanity said in the 1986 Playboy interview that Prince loved looking at her face and her at his and they thought they were the mirror image of each other and Vanity stated Prince loved her face so much that he wanted it and Prince would just stare at Vanity for hours so yes Prince knew he was a beautiful man.

You're just a fuckin idiot, fuck off.

Nobody was even talking about MJ but you... don't derail the thread.

Prince strikes me as the kind of guy who knew he was conventionally good looking, but was bored of that and altered his image as he saw fit. He was very expressive. Maybe he felt some way about his height? I always got the imperssion he took his physical attributes in stride.

Your name is the gloved1. Case closed. You are a Michael Jackson fan. Omg. My point proven again. If you are a true Prince fan, you already know him because Prince told us how he felt through his songs.

id bet he had some fat sucked outta his thighs

He Knew...The Man was ethereally beautiful...

I just dont know how he tore himself away from the mirror every day...

YES! Prince knew he was very good looking man! Hell! I kinew at the age of 10 back in '83 when I sqw him MTV. I faintly remember actually seeing him on the American Bandstand! I am so gald that u asked this question. This was the WHOLE reason why. Med and other youngs back in the '80's was acting like fools. We compare Prince and Michael Jackson. Who was a better singer. A better dancer. Best dresser and best looking. Mines was always Prince! Prince was the whole package. A man who was very good looking man who knew how to dress, sing and dance. It's a shame that I never gotten the chance to meet the man that I was In love with

Watch "Under the Cherry Moon", if Prince ain't having a love affair with himself - who is?
