Even Ben Affleck has gotten in on the craze following his split from Jennifer Lopez last year. Clooney will be part of a massive case of A-listers, including Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, Riley Keough, Jim Broadbent, Baumbach’s wife Greta Gerwig and Emily Mortimer, who co-wrote the screenplay with Baumbach. Few details have been revealed about the film, which will be released by Netflix, though it is reportedly a coming-of-age film. Netflix hasn’t revealed the release strategy for later this year, but the streamer has previously given Baumbach’s films a limited theatrical release prior to their debut on the service.
Graceful aging as a man is less about resisting time and more about refining how you live within it: taking care of your body through consistent movement, good sleep, and nutrition; sharpening your mind by staying curious and adaptable; and cultivating character by choosing humility, patience, and purpose over ego. It means dressing and grooming with intention, not trend-chasing, and accepting change without bitterness—seeing experience as an asset rather than a loss. Above all, aging well is about responsibility: showing up for your health, your relationships, and your values, so that each year adds depth, steadiness, and quiet confidence rather than regret.
