Ageing is pants, Dave

It’s so refreshing to hear that one of the most handsome men in the world feels insecure about his looks as he grows older.

Supermodel David Gandy – who set pulses racing when he starred in a Dolce & Gabbana advert wearing nothing but tight white pants in 2007 – says at the age of 42: “I’m not particularly happy with the way I’m looking at the moment. I’m not at my fighting weight, as I call it.”

He admits to fearing changes to his chiselled good looks, adding: “The two things that scare me is that apparently your ears and nose carry on growing. If that’s true, I am in massive amounts of trouble.”

Worried about his ears and nose growing? Well, David, I doubt you will ever look like Pinocchio.

Yes, ageing isn’t much fun, but just look on the bright side – unlike we women, you’ll be spared the horrors and humiliations of the menopause. So chin up, and enjoy growing old gracefully.

And if that isn’t enough to cheer you, just think of the £12million fortune you’re reported to have accumulated.
