I'm not sure if twinkish-looking famous guys are really that limited in number. I mean, I guess there's a lot fewer of them than there is of more stereotypically masculine men, so okay they are comparatively few in number. But I don't think they're all that rare, really.

However, other than that, yes, I feel this secret very, very much. Also, I think one aspect that's being overlooked ITT is that famous twinks (or twinkish-looking men) do not merely age out of their twinkishness. Many of them hulk out of it. They get cast in some action movie and a year later they look eight years older and twenty-five pounds of muscle heavier. Or they deliberately style themselves out of it by growing facial hair, getting the most rugged-looking haircut they can, and sometimes even getting subtle facial fillers to make their faces more typically masculine.

I think if all the twinkish-looking famous men merely aged out of their twinkishness, those of us who find pretty, twinkish men the most attractive would probably be less sad to see them go. The natural aging process is one thing. Going on steroids that help you put on twenty pounds of muscle and also subtly change the shape of your jaw bone is a totally different thing.
