Despite some of the macho characters he has played, he’s a bit squeamish about the whole surgery thing.

This foreign-born, over-40 actor has had a great career, but his appearance may permanently change soon!

He has to make a decision about plastic surgery. No, he’s not getting a face lift or a hair transplant.

It’s his eyes.

He doesn’t mind looking mature and a bit craggy, but his upper lids are now drooping so badly that they are starting to affect his vision!

This is a big decision for him for several reasons.

First, he has never had ANY plastic surgery of any kind.

Despite some of the macho characters he has played, he’s a bit squeamish about the whole surgery thing.

Second, he knows that changing his eyes could make him unrecognizable, and he absolutely does not want to change his entire look (e.g. Renee Zellweger, Mickey Rourke).

Third, he has seen plastic surgery ruin the looks and careers of other actors (e.g. Rupert Everett, Meg Ryan) and he figures he has at least one more Academy Award in him if he keeps working.

So, will our movie star age naturally like a Robert Redford, or try to look eternally beautiful via plastic surgery like a Tom Cruise?

We should know in a couple of months.

He has a film in post-production, and he has to wait until he is sure they have all the shots they need before making any changes.
