Henry Cavill has aged. Shock horror. At 43, with a new baby and no longer required to maintain Superman-level cheekbones, he’s acquired a softer jawline. But instead of the usual “what happened to his face?” reaction, the internet seems remarkably accepting: he’s a dad, he’s happy, of course he looks different. So why don’t women get the same generosity when they age?
We’re talking Sarah Jessica Parker, Melinda Messenger, the Hollywood double standard that lets men remain romantic leads for decades, and why women can be declared “too old” while they’re barely into their 30s. Plus, Olivia Colman’s gorgeous grey hair, the “dad bod”, and whether attitudes really are changing or we’ve just found a new way to tell women how they should age.
And, as always, there’s a Moan In. This week: pavement hoggers and the eternal nightmare of Wi-Fi.
