We love when a twink gets older!

Do you roll your eyes at the term "twink death?" We do!
We know that when twinks age, they don't "die." They actually become hotter and more powerful. In fact, aging is one of the sexiest things a man can do.
These are some of our favorite twinks from the past who have aged up and prove that, like a fine wine, they only get better with age. (All pictures are of people over the age of 18 and are from Getty Images, Instagram, and Twitter unless otherwise noted.)
