This incredible actor has transformed immensely since his heartthrob days in the ’70s.

The 82-year-old American actor Nick Nolte, who was once a sex icon and a heartthrob, recently celebrated his birthday. His acting ability is exceptional, despite the fact that he is primarily recognized for playing tough-guy roles in movies.

It’s quite alluring how Nolte’s unusual facial characteristics, which include a strong, square jaw, angular orbital bones and forehead, and wild, free-flowing hair, give him the appearance of a domineering and powerful figure from a Shakespearean play.
