Keeping up with Pedro Pascal, Brad Pitt and Hollywood's Peter Pans
Pascal and Pitt keep their appearance fresh by embracing trends and changing their stylists.
With the encouragement of stylist Julie Ragiola, Pascal bared his legs on the Met Gala red carpet and wore a plunging Bottega Veneta blouse to the Gladiator II premiere.
For The Fantastic Four press tour, Pascal has partnered with stylist Jamie Mizrahi, who also works with Jeremy Allen White and Adele, looking sleek and chic in Calvin Klein bomber jackets, Tom Ford suits and scarf shirts.
Brad Pitt recently refreshed his look for the F1 press tour, enlisting 29-year-old Dune actor Timothee Chalamet's stylist Taylor McNeil to dress him in tie-dye tracksuits and silky shirts. If tie-dye is too much, Webb suggests focusing on denim and footwear, which can be more revealing about your Seniors Card status than the date on your driver's license.

'Ditch dated denim,' Webb says. 'Opt for slim or straight-leg jeans in dark or mid-washes. Pedro Pascal pairs his with simple jackets and sneakers – easy, clean, and age-appropriate.'
'Shoes can age you fast. For a sharper finish, swap clunky trainers or square-toed dress shoes for leather sneakers, boots or clean desert boots.'
Skin care
Pitt, Idris Elba, 52, and musician Pharrell Williams, 52, all have gender-neutral skincare lines, which is as much about business as looking good. According to financial information outfit Research and Markets the global market for men's skincare products was valued at $US16.9 billion ($25.9 billion) in 2024 and is projected to reach $US23 billion ($35.3 billion) by 2030.
'I wanted science-backed skincare that makes sense — not just for your skin, but for what you stand for,' Pitt told WWD about his La Domaine range.
While there's increased interest in men's skincare and cosmetics, more men are turning to solutions that go beyond moisturiser and serums.
An increasing number of laser treatments are being targeted at men in midlife, with the CoolPeel growing in popularity in Australia, using high-energy pulses to assist in improving skin texture, a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and claiming to assist with collagen production.
'It's most popular among men aged 35 to 55, though it's gaining traction across both younger and older age brackets,' says Michael Raghib, sales manager for High Tech Medical. With men traditionally seeking fast solutions to skin challenges, the laser treatment's main attraction for mature men is reduced downtime.
'There's an expectation of being presentable within two to three days, allowing a return to work and normal routine without suspicion. Minimal peeling, redness or swelling suits men who don't want to explain having had work done.'
Hair
While action hero Jason Statham, 57, Stanley Tucci, 64, and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, 53, prove you don't need a hairline to be Hollywood handsome, many men still associate ageing attractively with having something to brush in the morning.

Matthew McConaughey, 55, attributes his hair retention to topical treatments, while wrestler turned actor John Cena, 48, Community comedian Joel McHale, 53, and Broadway star Cheyenne Jackson, 50, have admitted to hair transplants.
'Over the past three years, interest in transplants has grown steadily,' says Dr Ateka Khan, co-founder of Hair Doctors clinics in Melbourne and Sydney. 'We've gone from performing five procedures a week to averaging 17. Our current wait time is up to 10 weeks.'
'Globally, procedures have grown from 2.6 million in 2019 to over 4.3 million in 2024, showing how mainstream hair restoration has become.'
'We've had the occasional reference to Brad Pitt, model David Gandy, David Beckham or Chris Hemsworth, more as inspiration for a natural, age-appropriate result rather than something to replicate exactly.'

Sad truth behind F1 Movie's haunting real-life crash: ‘Is this me?'
Almost everything in the blockbuster F1 movie is fictional, but the protagonist's spine-chilling origin story really happened exactly as depicted on screen. Brad Pitt's character Sonny Hayes is haunted by a high-speed crash which initially cost him his Formula One dream, but for the man who survived that crash in real life, there would be no Hollywood ending. In 1990, Martin Donnelly was a promising British racing driver with the Lotus Formula One team, but a suspension failure in a practice session for the Spanish Grand Prix sent him hurtling into the Armco barrier at around 257km/h. The aftermath is one of the most horrifying scenes ever witnessed in motorsport. Donnelly says he has no memory of the crash, but he told CNN Sports that his car effectively became a bobsled without any steering or braking control prior to the moment of impact. 'The carbon fibre tub shattered like a car bomb, and I went with the energy,' he said. 'I got thrown out by about 60 metres and travelled through the air and along the ground like a rag doll.' Donnelly remained strapped to his seat, coming to rest awkwardly in the middle of the track. As cars navigated their way past him and through the field of debris, the marshals in Jerez waited for the arrival of doctor Sid Watkins, but the assumption was that Donnelly was already dead. When Watkins flipped open the visor of his helmet, Donnelly's face had turned blue. He was unconscious having swallowed his tongue, had broken many of his bones — including both of his legs — and his internal organs had been so traumatised that he would be clinging to life on a respirator and kidney dialysis for weeks. Martin Donnelly was lucky to escape with his life, let alone his legs. Credit: Getty After being helicoptered to hospital in Seville, a priest was summoned to read him his last rites. Donnelly was lucky to escape with his life and both of his legs, and although he was subsequently able to resume his motor racing career, he never returned to Formula One as a driver. At least, not in real life. Over three decades later, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and the other producers of the movie perused F1 archives to find the crash upon which to base Hayes' narrative arc, a decision that was quickly made once they viewed Donnelly's dramatic incident in Jerez. Hamilton made the call to seek permission, blindsiding Donnelly one Saturday night at home. 'I thought it was going to be one of those cold calls for central heating or double-glazed windows,' he recalled. 'I was quite aggressive ... it's not every day you receive a call from a seven-time world champion!' When asked what had made him so good as a young racing driver, Donnelly joked with CNN Sports: 'Well it wasn't my good looks, that's for sure.' So, he could scarcely have imagined that one of Hollywood's biggest heartthrobs would end up playing a character based on his life experience in a movie. Donnelly said it was surreal to find himself filming in a garage at Brands Hatch, with Pitt asking for advice on where to stand and how to enter the car. ''Hey Brad, if I were you, just stand at the back of the car, walk around it, touch it, just ask the car to be good to you today, pray that you're going to be both quick and safe',' he recalled saying. Martin Donnelly with Brad Pitt during production of the F1 movie. Credit: CNN Donnelly said that he never dwelled upon the inherent dangers of high-speed racing. 'If you have something in the back of your mind about having an accident, you're not driving that car at 100 per cent, you're at 99 per cent,' he explained. 'In my mind, (accidents) happened to other drivers, not me.' Nevertheless, as he described telling Pitt to climb from the left-hand side of the car, he accepted that he has always been a superstitious driver. 'My daughter once did a feature on me at school and said, 'Dad, can you write down all the superstitions you have,' and there were two A4 pages of it. She says, 'Oh my god, dad, you need some help!'' In assisting with the production of the movie, Donnelly was forced to relive the most traumatic experience of his life, experiencing it for the first time in the third person. The director recreated the crash and filmed it repeatedly, prompting him to wonder: 'Is this what I'm known for?' 'I watched them get a mannequin in yellow overalls and a helmet fly out of this car 15 times and all these cameras are taking pictures,' Donnelly said. 'And then it would drop and be dragged along the ground. For me, that was a reality check because I've never seen it happen.' Donnelly said that footage was never used in the final edit, perhaps because nothing could match the intensity of the original television recording, which he said he didn't know would be used until he saw the movie in the cinema. While he said that he feels 'honoured and privileged that Brad Pitt chose my accident and my life to document', the 61-year-old admitted that the whole thing is bittersweet; his crash came at a cost. 'This is what I've been reenacted for,' he lamented. 'And my friends at the time — Damon Hill, Jonny Herbert, Eddie Irvine, David Coulthard have all gone on to be very successful and very rich. Why wasn't I given a chance to have that? Because when they were my teammates, I kicked their asses!' But then he stops himself, recalling the fate of one of F1's greatest ever drivers Ayrton Senna. The Brazilian famously walked to the site of Donnelly's accident at Jerez and watched as the rescue teams fought to revive him on the track. Senna was close to Donnelly and clearly affected by his friend's clash in 1990. Credit: Getty/CNN They were close, and Senna offered anything he could do to help with his recovery. Four years later, Senna himself was involved in a devastating crash at the San Marino Grand Prix, and he was not so lucky. 'I do believe that I could easily have become a world champion but then I come back to reality. I'm still talking to you,' he said. 'My friend Senna is dead. He had all the millions in his back pocket, three-time world champion, but who's he going to share it with? 'His death on May 1st, 1994, was the final nail in the coffin for me to say, 'Hey Martin, look around you, you're in the paddock, you're still involved with the sport that you love. You've got no right to complain'.'

While filming the F1 movie, he drove on various race tracks that comprise the Formula 1 calendar. And now Brad Pitt has opened up and shared his experience on which Formula 1 track left him feeling the 'highest of highs'.

However, there was one track that made him feel completely different from the rest. And that crown belongs to Belgium's Spa-Francorchamps, commonly referred to as Spa. 'But the high of highs? Spa. Oh my god! 4.3 miles, 100-metre elevation … It's such a smooth, graceful feeling,' Brad Pitt said.
