Hollywood is not a young man's game these days. Stars like Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Travolta, and Nicolas Cage dominated the Cannes Film Festival this month, showing no signs of career slowdown.
Even after decades in the industry, with its ups and downs, these stars remain household names and top box office draws. "These stars still appeal for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that Hollywood has largely moved on from the shirtless stud who defies the odds, saves the girl and wins the day," Doug Eldridge of Achilles PR said. "There has been a softening of the hero blueprint and a general vilification of what was traditionally considered American masculinity … [and] Americans still enjoy this hero archetype." Eric Schiffer, chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, credits their broad appeal across generations. "They can pull audiences as archetypes of today's Alpha from Silent to Boomers, Gen X to Gen Z because they're authentic off cam with a thirst for adventure who don't care if they're liked while mixing toughness with a soft side," Schiffer said.
"These actors have a star power that transcends time," agrees Kathy Fielder of Thrive by Kathy Fielder. "They draw you in and make you feel happy and engaged.True star power transcends the screen and walks into your living room, and they have that." Here are some older generation stars still landing major roles, making successful films and headlining at the box office.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has lived the American dream. He arrived in the United States with little money but a lot of determination, and built a life and career that were the envy of millions. The Austrian-born star even held public office, serving two terms as the governor (or "Governator" as he was dubbed, based on his role in "The Terminator") of California.

one year since Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation trial reached a verdict, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor seems to be making a rather smooth transition when it comes to getting back to work. After his first movie, Jeanne du Barry, had a fancy premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last month, the French-language film was just acquired by a production company for North American distribution rights. Vertical, which is a leading global independent film distribution company, announced in a Wednesday press release that it has acquired the North American rights to Jeanne Du Barry.

Star Wars icon Mark Hamill figured this out the hard way when he apparently tried to give an up-and-coming Arnold Schwarzenegger some career advice at an early point of the bodybuilder’s arc.

Both men continue to prove their Hollywood longevity by appearing in projects that recently dropped.

Johnny Depp may once again take on the role of Captain Jack Sparrow in the upcoming Pirates Of The Caribbean film, an insider close to the movie has suggested.The actor played the lead role in all five of the movies in the franchise, which kicked off in 2003 with The Curse Of The Black Pearl. However, following the last movie — 2017’s Dead Men Tell No Tales — Depp allegedly parted ways with Disney, and would no longer be taking on the character for any further projects.This split came in light of the recent trials between the actor and ex-wife Amber Heard, who claimed that the Hollywood A-lister had physically and emotionally abused her.The conflict between Depp and Heard initiated in 2019, when Depp sued Heard for defamation, following a 2018 op-ed piece she had written for The Washington Post, claiming she was a victim of domestic abuse.The Aquaman actress then countersued Depp the following year, and the case soon made headlines after it went to trial in 2022.Two trials were held, one in the UK and one in the US.

Johnny Depp spent the last year proving he is still a major force in Hollywood. His highly publicized defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard came to a conclusion exactly one year ago.

On June 1, 2022, a Virginia jury ruled largely in Depp's favor, as they found Heard liable on all three counts of defamation stemming from a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she referred to herself as domestic abuse survivor.
