Line 20:
== Anime & Manga ==
* Ishida Ryuuken from ''[[Bleach]]'' is probably about 40 and his hair has gone completely white, but he's as strikingly pretty as (and almost as slender as) his teenage son [[Bishonen|Uryuu]]. Although given [[Meaningful Name|his name]] and his stern personality, he's really more of a Silver ''Dragon''.
* [[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Joseph Joestar]] during the "Stardust Crusaders" arc. This is set a few years after fathering [[Heroic Bastard|Josuke]], making his son younger than his grandson, Jotaro.
 
 
Line 34:
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* The Third Doctor from ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''. True, One could be very charming when he wanted to be, but he still looked every day of William Hartnell's age at the time. [[Patrick Troughton]] as Two was far from ugly and had his charms, but he wasn't gorgeous either. However, [[Jon Pertwee]] as Three managed to be an old guy with a very snappy sense of style (both in fashion and demeanor), looked and acted very fit for his age, and generally made being a [[Badass Grandpa]] look good.
* Gibbs from ''[[NCIS]]''.
{{quote| '''Abby:''' I'm pregnant, McGee. Twins. Haven't told the father yet. It's Gibbs. I know it's wrong, but something about his silver hair gets me all tingly inside.<br />
Line 42:
** And Jamie Lee Curtis's character Dr. Samantha Ryan, from Season 10. Yowza.
* Gil Grissom, ''[[CSI]]''. Even {{spoiler|his future wife}}, Sara, drops a line about finding grey hair sexy, while he's in the room, no less.
* DI Lestrade from ''[[Sherlock (TV)|Sherlock]]''.
* Roger Sterling from ''[[Mad Men (TV)|Mad Men]]''.
 
 
Line 54:
 
== Web Comics ==
* General Tarquin from ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]''. Haley sees him as evidence that {{spoiler|his son, Elan,}} is still going to be attractive in his middle age. Although, here, it is [[Informed Attractiveness]], since it's a [[Stick Figure Comic]].
* Dora of [[Questionable Content]] squees upon meeting Marten's father with his full head of grey hair, saying that Marten will look so hot when he gets old.
 
Line 66:
* ''[[Shaun Micallef]]'' is well-known for being a silver fox, much to the TV host's bemusement.
{{quote| '''Micallef:''' "Silver fox? Is that good?"}}
* Tony Jones from ABC1's [[Q and& A (Literature)|Q and A]] and Lateline is actually called the "Silver Fox" on many a Monday night by the Twittersphere. [http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/img/headshots/tony-jones.jpg\]
* Surely, ''[[Hugh Laurie]]'' counts as one.
* David Byrne of the [[Talking Heads]].
