The young Bush Sr. wasn't half bad, and he's aged with a certain style. More so than his son, at least.  On a more positive global-politics note, Fridtjof Nansen in his youth was quite the looker.  At a guess, that's from his polar exploration days, back when he was the first guy to ski across greenland and made a spirited attempt to reach the north pole. After his days as a competitive skater and skier, that is. Around this period he was also the model for viking king Olav Tryggvasson in a series of woodcuts:  Later in life he did some decent research on nervous systems in marine animals while running a marine research/museum, organized the first international refugee treaties and aid shipments after WW1 and was the first commissioner for refugees for the League of Nations (this being pre-UN), got a peace price, turned down the position of President of Norway (which led to us electing a king instead), and generally made Norway look good. He also aged rather well.  (He also sent a series of nudes to go with his love letters to Brenda Ueland, at one point. He was 67 at the time, and in rather good shape.)
