AGE OF MANN
BAZ Luhrmann sported an incredibly youthful appearance last night as he attended the AACTA Awards in Sydney, Australia.
The Australian director, 59, looked worlds away from his former more rugged self as he walked the red carpet in a stylish black suit, white unbuttoned shirt and a silk neckerchief.

The Romeo + Juliet filmmaker's chic ensemble wasn't the only thing to turn heads but rather his wrinkle-free complexion.
The Great Gatsby director accentuated his new look by styling his grey hair off his face and sported a groomed moustache.
Baz shot to fame in 1992 with the hit film Strictly Ballroom before he went on to direct his retelling of the Shakespearean classic Romeo + Juliet in 1996.
The filmmaker has also directed the Golden Globe-winning Moulin Rouge with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.
He then reunited with Nicole, 54, seven years later for cinematic epic Australia alongside Hugh Jackman.
The director last released The Great Gatsby in 2013 and is currently promoting his upcoming Elvis biopic.
