Okay wait. I'm back again. I finally figured out what's bugging me the most about this photo, and some of the others I've seen from the same shoot. Well, there are lots of things that feel 'off,' but...
They got rid of all of the delicious little crinkles around his eyes! Come ON! I LOVE those! In fact, they got rid of ALL of the lovely sun-baked imperfections in his skin. Seriously, if I wanted to stare at some smooth-skinned teenager I'd be on a different comm. I like older Joe for a reason!
Yep, that's one of my main peeves with the promo shots. They're heavy on the make-up and then after the fact, they're photoshopped.
Agree with you about older Joe... I love his face the way it is now - so much character and sex appeal. I love the body hair and the freckles and the way his body is not "perfect", though he really is!
Oh, yeah, what you said... the seasoned sex appeal, the body hair *whimper* with that hint of gray... though, in my opinion, Joe's body IS freaking flawlessly spectacularly ovary-meltingly perfect.
I say that because my lifeguard husband has the exact same swimmer's build, the same lean-muscled, long limbs and torso, the broad shoulders and slim hips, etc. Even the same chest hair pattern. You couldn't get me to trade that for a more artificially-sculpted, waxed Hollywood look for anything.
I was lucky enough to sit at a table with Joe for way over the hour alloted at a Meet 'n Greet in Vancouver 'cause he wanted to keep talking about his kids! In person and (as far as I could tell) no makeup, he has smile/laugh/sun lines. Like anyone else, he has some imperfections in skin tone, etc. He's over forty and I doubt seriously that it bothers him. My God, the man is in great shape too. He also gives great hugs!!!
lucky you to have talked to Joe for so long!! I love that Joe is such a great dad!! I agree--I think Joe's body is hot, hot, hot!! Love his "swimmer's build"--long, lean and just the right amount of muscle (dont find huge muscles attractive at all) For a guy of 45--he is in amazing shape!!!Love his slim hips and flat stomach!!!! Yum!!!

Photoshop disasters aside, as much as I adore the BToY with the grey BDU pants, this black-on-black look always causes me a serious crisis.

Anyway. End of rant. Thanks for indulging me.

How gorgeous...
I love that he's such a great dad and from what I've been able to see, a good husband. That makes a man awesome in my book.
