James Franco at 27 and 41
Jared Padalecki at 21 and 38
Paul Wesley at 24 and 37
Andrew Garfield at 27 and 38
Luke Evans at 32 and 42
Paul Bettany at 32 and 50

Joe Manganiello at 33 and 43
Casey Affleck at 29 and 43
Gerard Butler at 33 and 50
Ed Westwick at 20 and 34
Bonus: Ben Barnes portrayed Dorian Gray at 28, and now he’s 40.
Of course, our compilation doesn’t include all the hot men in the movie industry that became even more attractive with age. Who else would you add?
