Due to massive misuse zero context examples and questionable examples for this trope are being purged.This deals with cases where a character is visibly old and is still portrayed as attractive. If this examples fits the trope then re-add with context making that explicitly clear. Do not confuse this trope for Hollywood Old, Older Than They Look, or Really Seven Hundred Years Old. Do not use this trope for personally or fan\'s opinions about a character\'s attractiveness.
