Droopy Decision

droopy-dog[Blind Gossip] This foreign-born, over-40 actor has had a great career, but his appearance may permanently change soon!

He has to make a decision about plastic surgery. No, he’s not getting a face lift or a hair transplant. It’s his eyes. He doesn’t mind looking mature and a bit craggy, but his upper lids are now drooping so badly that they are starting to affect his vision!

This is a big decision for him for several reasons.

First, he has never had ANY plastic surgery of any kind. Despite some of the macho characters he has played, he’s a bit squeamish about the whole surgery thing.

Second, he knows that changing his eyes could make him unrecognizable, and he absolutely does not want to change his entire look (e.g. Renee Zellweger, Mickey Rourke).

Third, he has seen plastic surgery ruin the looks and careers of other actors (e.g. Rupert Everett, Meg Ryan) and he figures he has at least one more Academy Award in him if he keeps working.

So, will our movie star age naturally like a Robert Redford, or try to look eternally beautiful via plastic surgery like a Tom Cruise?

We should know in a couple of months. He has a film in post-production, and he has to wait until he is sure they have all the shots they need before making any changes.

    Definitely Russell Crowe.

    Both Renee & Meg are mentioned in this, as is Tom Cruise who co-stars in The Mummy, which is Crowe’s film in post-production. I also feel like “eternally beautiful” is a weird phrase to use, so it probably is a reference to “A Beautiful Mind” and/or his quote from Gladiator, “What we do in life echoes in eternity.”

  2. Poubelle says

    Also, he’s currently on Italian TV basically every ten minutes, in a commercial for Vodafone phones, and he looks great – in that too-smooth, “I’ve dabbled a bit with Botox and fillers, but just subtly”way. So he’s already had some kind of light surgery.

  3. artistsnow says

    omg, I thought it was Javier but all it takes is one photo.
    Poor Russell, he has droop eye bad, like my cousin.
    His vision is important! To hell with the label. If he can’t see…do the surgery.

  6. Baileygirl says

    No guesses as to actor, but this is a condition that needs surgical intervention. My sister-in-law had this. The eyes were becoming “Hooded.” and her vision was terrible. So whoever it is, sounds legit. There is visual loss with hooded eyelids.

  8. pinkmarie says

    The first person that comes to mind is Benicio Del Toro. He has droopy, sad looking eyes just like the picture.

  11. redstilettos says

    If you go to a good surgeon, you won’t look like a freak (Rourke). For all the crud Renee Z gets, I think she looks fine. I once knew someone who had her lids done because she couldn’t see. The best thing in the world for her. When I think macho, I think James Bond. Maybe Pierce Brosnan?

  15. Goodgrief says

    Christian Bale, for no other reason than I can’t think of anyone else. I would say Mathew McConaughey, but he isn’t foreign born.

  16. Dana5570 says

    Actor: I’m gonna say Jim Carrey, though the macho roles is kind of throwing me off. Clues being the pic, “pet detective,” and “eternally beautiful” could be a reference to Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.
    Optional: I would say get them done if they are affecting his vision, but only slightly. Don’t go overboard. And then fess up to it and explain why. All these celebrities who claim they didn’t have any work, please. Renee Z., I’m looking at you!

  19. sassygurl1987 says

    Hmm, maybe Colin Firth? His eyes are getting droopy. I say, don’t do it! Or make sure it’s not too noticeable.

  21. redpixie says

    i think this is russell crowe

    if it’s affecting his vision then he probably should….bit leave it at the eyes!!

  24. stillmb says

    Robert DeNiro
    If he has an opthamologist perform the surgery he will look just fine, see better, and his insurance will pay for it.

  25. scotsgal says

    Russell Crowe.

    If it’s starting to affect his vision then yeah, he should totally get the surgery.

  28. Deadpan Alley says

    Colin Firth? Say it ain’t so!

    He should age naturally, because the man is my definition of HAWT.

    • prinny says

      OH I KNOW, he is my type to a T, seems the perfect man, just saw the latest Bridget Jones movie and he mopped up the floor with that McDreamy. SIGH.

  30. CyndiTx123 says

    Daniel Craig???

    Don’t do it….. or just make sure if you do, just a tiny small bit….

  32. andyo115 says

    Benicio Del Toro

    If its affecting his eyes then sure, if its just for Hollywood standards i would leave it alone. He’s a good looking guy

  35. mystic1 says

    Antonio Banderas? I only think he should do it if it really affects his vision, not for strickly cosmetic reasons.

  36. Vidalia Q Intrigue says

    I was going to guess Benecio del Toro, who’s in post-production with his Star Wars movie, but he was born in Puerto Rico and thus isn’t foreign-born. Maybe Geoffrey Rush (post production on a Pirates of the Caribbean movie)? He was born in Australia.

  37. bhakti says

    Um, Robert Redford sure looks to me like he’s had a facelift. I don’t think he’s aged naturally. Al Pachino had his eyes done, maybe more. I’m thinking this is about Bobby aka Robert Di Niro

  38. CaptainVor says

    First person to come to mind is Russell Crowe. Aussie, an Oscar under his belt, and definitely has that droopy-dog look. No idea if he has anything in post-production right now though (and too lazy to look it up).

    Should he get his eyes done? Well, yeah, if it’s impacting his vision.

  42. carriebradshaw says

    Al Pacino?

    optional: if it really affect his vision he has to. he don’t has to be next Renee Zellweger, he can take Uma Thurmans doc.

  43. silence1534 says

    Daniel Day Lewis.

    If it’s affecting your ability to see well, yes! If it’s more of an annoyance than a hindrance, maybe not.

  44. tania says

    Liam Neeson.

    He has a movie that went into post-production in September called Commuter. That’s the one he’s probably waiting on re-shoots since the other 2 movies in post-production were from the spring/summer.

  45. css1014 says

    Russell Crowe
    If it is affecting his vision yes. There are amazing opthamolic plastic surgeons out there.

  47. jeannie says

    The surgery to fix drooping eyelids can be done very tastefully and shouldn’t change his appearance drastically. It’s a legitimate issue when they droop to the point of affecting vision!

  48. ashanean says

    Actor Russell Crowe
    Post production movie The Mummy is I post production. .his eyebrows look just a little droopy, but not bad.

    He plays a lot of machismo characters. And he worked with meg Ryan. And he won an Oscsr for Gladiators. Dang he did a lot of movies.

    Yes he should if it is affecting his vision.

  51. wildaz says

    Actor: Benecio Del Toro

    Optional: He should if it’s affecting his vision. your vision is a necessity. My aunt had this same operation, but because she would have lost her drivers license.

    I think he’s incredibly attractive so unless he does a complete overhaul he should be fine. It didn’t really change my aunts appearance but it definitely made it safer for everyone else!

  52. Silverdun says

    At first I thought it was Hugh Grant but he’s never been macho lol

    Actor: Russell Crowe

    mention of Meg Ryan his ex, also the film in post production is The Mummy.

    If it’s affecting his vision a very well done lift should help, but it needs to be subtle. Plastic surgery often hits a nut with a sledgehammer. Like Renee. If she had cited her vision being a problem, people would’ve accepted her surgery, but to deny it and have it done so much is laughable!

    he needs to be very careful.

  64. Rofl my Wofl says

    Benicio del Torro.

    Optional: If it’s affecting his vision, yes. But tread cautiously with a good surgeon who won’t overdue it.

  65. anyanka2 says

    Actor: Javier Bardem

    Known for his eyes and has an Oscar for No Country for Old Men. He’s in the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie, still scheduled for release next summer.

  71. Gemzan says

    Russell Crowe?

    If it’s affecting his vision, it’s necessary. He should find a great NYC surgeon (Christie Brinkley’s?) and go public with it so he controls the story and the public knows it’s not for vanity.

  73. smileyriot says

    Russell Crowe

    If it’s affecting his vision, absolutely. But he should have as little done as possible to remain recognizable!

  76. eryncuz88 says

    Arnold Schwarzenegger

    Should he get his eyes done? –Tough call! I feel like surgery on the eyes is very noticeable. But if the droopiness is truly hindering his eyesight, go for it.

    • Katmandu says

      Ahn-nuld getting his eyeballs adjusted is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. He looks flabby, and ancient as the pyramids.

      Daniel Craig is still youngish, could use a little work, but he certainly never won an Oscar.

      Maybe Russell Crowe?

  77. thelasthigh says

    if it’s affecting his vision, he should get it done

    tom hanks isn’t foreign born but aging is already making him unrecognizable so surgery wouldn’t hurt either way if done well

  79. inopickme says

    I have no idea who this could be, but if this is affecting his vision he should get it done. I was having problems with my vision and had it done due to medical reasons. It did improve my appearance ( I always looked tired before), but did not drastically change my appearance. In fact the people who didn’t know about the surgery never said anything about a change in my appearance.
    I see so much better now. I had the surgery done by an opthomologist not a cosmetic surgeon.

  82. bubbasbbq says

    I don’t know who this is, but this sounds like a legitimate case to have plastic surgery. Something is affecting your health and he needs to have it corrected. Just don’t cheap out, go to the best and I’ll bet he’ll look natural after everything heals up.

    This is not vanity or fear of growing old (up?) Don’t be ashamed, get the help you need to stay healthy.

  85. cheezhead says

    Russell crowe
    Has one Oscar for gladiator, an affair with meg Ryan.
    They are a bit droopy. If it affects his vision, he has too.

  87. hvp5ss says

    Benicio del Toro
    Star Wars VIII in post production.

    We love your droopy eyes, Benicio! They’re part of your charm and mystique.
    That said, if you can’t see, then you should take care of you.
    I’d love to see you get another Oscar, but you’re not going to get it with a Star Wars movie. Do the Sicario sequel and cross your fingers.

  88. dween2000 says

    Russell Crowe
    Should he get them done? If it affects his sight, then yes, but honestly I love that man no matter what, He is my ULTIMATE celebrity crush!

  89. lovefifteen says

    Probably Russell Crowe based on the clues foreign-born, having one film in post-production, and being an Oscar winner with one more Oscar in him.

    Plus if you look at recent pics of him, it’s true that his eyelids are droopy.

    He should probably get the work done if it’s affecting his vision, but it is true there is a huge risk of damaging his career if the procedure goes badly.

    • lovefifteen says

      Also, macho roles leads me to think of Russell. And the inclusion of Renee and especially Meg Ryan in this blind might be nods to him.

    • foraccts says

      Agreed, I think it’s Crowe too. Both my mother in law and sister in law had to have this procedure due to droopy lids. MIL looked great but SIL always looks surprised.

  90. RayneQueen says

    Is this Daniel Craig?

    If it’s really affecting his vision then he should do something to fix it.

    • Moonie Pinkslip says

      Matt Damon might have “squinty” eyes (thought I don’t agree…!) but that’s different from eyelids that biologically and genetically have the tendency to droop, not “squint.” It’s a common procedure to have an upper eyelid lift in that case.

  95. amybell says

    Russell Crowe. He won for Gladiator in 2001 and he doesn’t look like he’s had any plastic surgery in the past. In his photos his eyelids look droopy….he should take care of it so they don’t affect his vision. He’s got The Mummy in post-production right now.

    • CatInTheHat says

      Yep, think you got it. If he does, maybe he will remove the lump in the middle of his forehead too.

    • with a twist says

      The clues definitely for Russell Crowe. The Meg Ryan hint, plus he starred in Cinderella Man with Renee. Also “eternally beautiful” = A Beautiful Mind.

    • mpizzle says

      I like these plays on the clues.

      Agree it could be him or Javier Bardem. I’d say Crowe has played more macho characters, though.

    • Moonie Pinkslip says

      Yep, I’m in on this…makes most sense. Has an Oscar under his belt, is in post production, isn’t into the plastic look at all, and all the other bits that fit…

    • skittykitty says

      I think you’re right.
      If the surgery was just for vanity purposes then I would suggest it’s a bad idea. However, if your vision is impaired then it is a pretty necessary evil. My mum had it done because she couldn’t see and it is hardly even noticeable. But it’s made a huge difference to her being able to lead the life she wants.

  98. Ramblingirl says

    One of my oldest brothers had an eye lift because his vision was becoming impaired. He didn’t look strange at all, but looked like he was more rested. And…he was able to see much better. It was really a no brainer.

    • Moonie Pinkslip says

      My mother had the same thing; absolute no brainer, could hardly tell, and it worked. Not all surgery is plastic…a concept far removed from Hollywood 🙂

  99. TexasHeat says

    This has to be the sexy, macho, and craggy look of dear Daniel Craig. Recent talk about him having one more JB movie in him.

    I would think that a less invasive procedure would be fine for now, but i his vision is being obscured due to sagging eye lids, it may be time to have a bit of a nip/tuck.
