With this list of men and the upcoming list of women, we'll be looking at celebs who look better older than they did young. We're not talking about those who just aged well, but those who have defied the odds and improved. The key for both men and women seems to be dropping the baby fat from the face so it becomes more gaunt. So that's the secret to increased hotness in maturity-- just be sure to do that. (Madonna did this, but it has gone awry.)
Oh, and the other key is leaving behind the unfortunate hair choices of youth.
Speaking of which, the photo above shows what number 5 used to look like this in the 70s. It's not Howard Stern, although Howard looks a world better now than in his WNBC days of the 80s, himself.
5. Anthony Bourdain
4. Robert Downey, Jr.
3. Jerry O' Connell
2. Johnny Depp
1. And Most Improved, George Clooney
