50 Hottest Men Over 50

Whoever said men hit their prime at 30 was clearly mistaken.

By the looks of it (and the looks of these handsome fellows), 50 isn’t a bad place to be, especially not if you get to be with one of these finely-aged men!

Johnny dropped out of school at 15 to pursue his dream of being a rock star and ended up a Hollywood favorite. Forever the sexy and eccentric character, he’s still one of our favorites.

Fun fact: He’s been named the “Sexiest Man Alive” by People magazine twice.

Daniel is quite impressive to look at, but we also have to admire his method acting talents. We’re not the only ones fawning over him – the Queen knighted him for his services to drama!

Fun fact: He’s the first three-time recipient of the Best Actor Oscar.

Actor, director, musician, athlete, businessman and philanthropist – somebody this good looking shouldn’t be allowed to excel at so many other things! Fortunately for Kevin, we’ll forgive him.

Fun fact: He served as ceremonial Grand Marshal of the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series’ Auto Club 500.

Yes, his middle name might really be Francis, but we can’t help but fall for Jon Bon Jovi over and over again. Many musicians fade into history, but both his appearance and music have only gotten better with time.

Fun fact: His first professional recording is “R2-D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”

Fun fact: He funds The Fynvola Grant scholarship in memory of his mother.
