The 2010 AfterElton Hot 100: Men Over 50

Men over 50 of course are eligible to compete in our annual Hot 100 poll, but every year we also encourage our readers to think specifically about hot men over 50, in order to highlight age diversity on our site.

Here’s how that list ranked up:

1. Tim Daly

It’s arguable that Tim Daly, now starring on Private Practice, is better-looking now than he was when he first broke out on Wings, way back in 1990. So what’s the secret of his enduring (and improving!) good looks: good living or deal-with-the-devil? Either way, we approve.

2. Viggo Mortensen

Whether he’s playing a mysterious ranger in The Lord of the Rings or a post-apocalyptic father in The Road, no one does scruffy like Viggo Mortensen. Was the actor this hot when he was younger? It’s hard to know since he didn’t break through to superstardom until well into his 40s. All we know, this is one king we'll bow down before anytime.
