It is no secret that Lenny Kravitz has not aged in over 30 years. While you would never know it, the rock icon is 61, with about as many exposed abs. Recently, Kravitz threw the internet into a frenzy after sharing a black-and-white photo of himself strolling shirtless around his Las Vegas hotel room.
Kravitz, who has long been a proud LGBTQ ally, continues to embody what it means to age with grace and style. And he’s not alone. Our elder gays have been proving time and again that getting older doesn’t mean fading out; it means shining even brighter. Cultural stereotypes have long suggested that gay men age more youthfully than their straight counterparts. Looking around, it’s hard to argue. Take Tom Ford, 63, still the epitome of timeless style. Sam Champion, 64, the GMA weatherman who always brings the heat. RuPaul, also 64.
Alan Cumming, 60, serving dapper on and off The Traitors. Rupert Everett, 66, is forever camera-ready. Director Adam Shankman, 60, is captivating as ever. And Darren Star, 64, who has the handsome thing firmly on lock. So while Lenny Kravitz may seem immortal, he’s in fabulous company—reminding us all that aging can be as hot as the Vegas sun.
