Mark Hamill Got Hot in His Old Age

Publish date: 2024-05-20

**SPOILERS**

Early reviews from the premiere say that Luke Skywalker doesn't even have dialog in this film. He appears in the last shot of the movie.

He lost a lot of weight. He was a fattie only two years ago.

by Anonymousreply 5December 15, 2015 5:52 PM

The studio put his ass on a diet. I think he lost around 30 lbs.

He does look good. Good for him!

I watched Kingsmen last week, and Hamill definitely did not look like he does above. He was a chunker.

Now to keep it off...

The studio definitely made it very clear that Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill needed to lose weight before they got their ass in front of the camera.

I used to be so in love/lust with him when I was a mere teen back in '77. Will never forget how devastated I was when I found out he was getting married and having a kid.

He never was hot. Even when young he had a washed out, meh quality about him. And God knows he's not hot now. I think a lot of people on Datalounge need powerful prescription glasses.

I don't know about hot, but there is definitely something more attractive about him compared to how he used to look in recent years.

You guys know he got into a horrible, face-disfiguring accident between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, right?

George Lucas created that whole episode with the Wampa face attack to account for Hamill's scars.

That probably accounts for r14's "washed out" quality, too.

Yes, we know R17. But accident aside, he let himself go for many years. Two years ago he could have been a Star Wars balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Was never a stunner. Looks better now that he lost some weight. Saw him in a documentary about vocal actors ('I Know That Voice' , I think ....) and as others have said, he was quite heavy.

Happy to see that he and Carrie Fisher are enjoying some new recognition from new generations.

I think my internet is broken. Can someone post the "Hot" picture of Hamill in his old age? All I'm seeing is a wrinkly guy with too much facial hair.

You want hot in old age? Look at John Schneider. Woof! He got even better with age.

The hottest he looked in the trilogy was when he turned around (in that sleeveless shirt) and said to Yoda..."Will they die?"

Meh he just got a good makeup artist and a perfectly matched foundation.

To me, it's not his looks as much as the fact that he's not a sourpuss like Ford or batshit crazy like Fisher. He seems to genuinely have a lot of fun with what he does and while he hasn't had Ford's career he has a HUGE fanboy following for all of his voiceover work and he seems like a cool guy. That's why I think he's attractive.

by Anonymousreply 27December 15, 2015 11:18 PM

I agree r27. This is definitely worth a watch if you are a fan of Star Wars or just movies. I could listen to him tell stories all day long. He loves his craft and seems completely humble.

OP regarding his look, it's amazing what facial hair and different haircut can do for some guys.

For gay rights and gay marriage.

"Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill takes stand on gun control"

Luke Skywalker was best known for brandishing a fictional lightsaber, but the real-life actor who portrays him in the Star Wars movies is taking a stand when it comes to actual weapons. Following yesterday’s shooting deaths of two reporters on a television news broadcast, Hamill lent his stature to the growing chorus of voices calling for gun control – and the timing of his statement lends all the more weight to it.

“ENOUGH!” proclaimed Hamill via his Twitter account in all caps, adding “Australia fixed it after Port Arthur 96” in reference to the mass shooting in 1996 which led the down-under nation to enact strict gun control laws which banned most civilian gun ownership altogether. Mark Hamill has never faded from the public consciousness due to the enduring popularity of Star Wars. But his acting career, long having settled into niche roles, is in the midst of a major resurgence thanks to his starring role in the new highly anticipated Star Wars sequels. That gives him more of a voice than in years past.

Mark Hamill also took a stand for gay rights earlier this year, changing his profile picture on Facebook to a rainbow to show solidarity with the Supreme Court ruling in favor of gay marriage. His latest stand in favor of gun control saw significant support in terms of retweets, but also saw a number of profane responses from those who oppose gun control. However they may have a difficult time arguing against Skywalker’s logic, as gun violence plummeted in Australia after gun control was stepped up. As he puts is, “America can too.”

It's no secret that the studio told Mark and Carrie they would both have to get in shape for the new movie, and hired a team to do it. Talk about a sweet deal - how much would you LOVE to have your own personal trainer and chef, and all the while somebody else was paying for it?

by Anonymousreply 70December 17, 2015 6:18 AM

He broke his nose and cheekbone and that altered his appearance. However, coincidentally, he appears to be someone who quickly didn't age well, which would have also contributed to his slide in his 20s. I agree that no jedi mind trick is going to convince someone that he now looks hot. If anything, at least now he looks like someone in his 60s who is in 60s instead of someone in their 40s looking like someone in their 60s, so that's a relative improvement.

Hamill has a lot of Swedish ancestry, and Swedes age terribly. They're so hot in their youth, but then they hit the wall fast.

From an old DL thread with some juicy gossip.

'My partner was a cab driver during the time of the original Star Wars and picked up Mark Hamill, who wasn't really well-known yet, and dropped him off at a gay bar/club -- the Mineshaft? -- and Mark joked with him "Please don't tell anyone!"'

I saw Star Wars last night.

I was stunned that the theater was only two-thirds full - plenty of space. It took a lot of effort to get tickets, so it's surprising.

There was clearly a huge glitch with the ticket sales online. I heard that if I had waited until after midnight the night the tix were released, I could have gotten seats at IMAX in NYC instead of one of the random theaters.

It was good, even very good. But, it was clearly a JJ Abrams film. It had his fingerprints all over it, from lens flares to plot holes to insert fan service. There are some plot points which just don't make any sense, so are included because the whole thing would fall apart without them.

It shouldn't be getting the 97% fresh rating on RT. It ought to be about 90%

Guardians of the Galaxy: 91%

Hunger Games: 84% / Mockingjay: 65% and 70%

Star Trek Into Darkness: 87%

Saw a press screening on Tuesday and was kind of meh about it. Then saw it again last night and absolutely loved it. I think it's all too rushed to settle in on one viewing, or at least it was for me. Once you sort of let go and just let it wash over you, it's a blast.

Saw it in Houston here at 4am today to avoid the crowds. The two leads the black guy and English chick have no charisma but the battle sequences were spectacular and whenever Ford and Fisher come on screen there's that magical nostalgic feeling. No spoiler here but when Hamill pops up he really didn't even have to lose weight based on how he's dressed and the shot of him.

Luke Skywalker is gay, and was very well known in NYC backroom bar circles where men would go to leather or dive bars and have sex in total or basically pitch black darkness in backrooms; and likes SM as he would go to the mineshaft before being famous; but it is too bad Carrie did not out him, and instead outed Revolta which everyone with a brain already has known about for decades.

Luke is or was into S/M, and paid Larry Townsend to be his "Master" for a weekend but I read this in a book about Casey Donovan who had done the same and Townsend told him this.
