At first glance at the title, I thought this had something to with with maggie noodles and the ban India is placing on it. 😆

Why do I feel Pitt, Cloony and some others hiding their age? 🤔

I don't think it's possible with Clooney. His father was a famous journalist/newscaster at their hometown. So it won't be too difficult to research that and see when newscaster/talk show host Nick Clooney's kids were really born.

Clooney seems to have aged a lot in the last couple of years. The 50s hit him like a ton of bricks and now he looks like he's in his 60s.

George Clooney?

Speaking of this, did you know the studio exes thought Sandra Bullock opposite George was a bad idea. They thought sh would look too old and no one would want to see the movie. Which is really stupid b/c her BO record is 5.7 times better than George. 😆

They did the same thing when The Heat starring her and Melissa was changed from a male cop comedy to 2-female lead cop comedy.

On topic, it's a sad reality. One good thing is that she still gets offers to play leads despite not being such a popular face with a big fan following like Reese, Sandy, Meryl or Julia. If she was in BW, she'd be playing a mother...like could you imagine Maggie being Chris Pine or Chris Evans mother?!

Sexism is rampant everywhere. People think women can work now and the glass ceiling has disappeared and that's so not true. it's prevalent in all industries not just entertainment. And I'm glad she spoke up about, HW needs a reality check from time to time.

B/c it's still wrong. 😆

Just b/c HW does it, doesn't make it a right practice. And the Khans actually have A LOT more influence over casting and script changes than HW male stars. It's a whole different process and there's hardly as much "god" treatment.

what abt Rajnikanth working with girls his grand-daughter's age 😆 Oh pls HW has lot of influential actors too . Ppl need to understand that older heroines in commercial blockbusters dont always work unless its some mature story .
