As the saying goes, age is just a number. And this is true for these sizzling-hot-gay celebrities who have gracefully embraced their forties, fifties, and beyond. In an industry where youth often takes center stage, these hunky snacks have captivated audiences with their talent, charm, and undeniable presence. And they got us crushing. Hard.
With age comes experience and usually a long-standing career within their industry. Older men also tend to be more mature and wise, which can bring depth and emotion to their craft. Excuse us, but is there anything hotter than a man with some experience under their belt, ahem, who is good at their job, and can tap into their emotions? The answer is no. No, there’s not.
From timeless heartthrobs to seasoned artists, let’s explore these 25 hot male celebs over 40 who we love to call daddy. And maybe post their picture up in our bedrooms and write their names in our trapper keepers. [INSERT FANGIRL SCREAM HERE]

Adam Lambert not being on this list totally invalidates it, sorry.
Google Royal Albert Hall Adam for sparkly, or London Capital Summertime Ball for conservative Adam. OR, next Sunday on Andy Cohen Watch What Happens.

I wish Tom Ford and Andy Cohen had naked twitter accounts!

John Amaechi, please, as go watch a play by Tarell Alvin McCraney, a brilliant playwright, before we chill and listen to Tevin Campbell, who still has the voice of an angel.
