Drugs
Sun damage
Extreme dieting (bulking and cutting)
Smoking

in that order


You beat me to it. Smoking and sun damage being at the top of the list. When the skin thins and then fills with water, and when the body shrinks and bloats (over and over) its elasticity says "adios"

I would dare say smoking and recreational dope along with sun damage makes the perfect recipe for premature aging. Not to mention the fact that every day, he is, in fact, getting....


Older.  ::)

Drugs, diet, genetics, environmental factors.....

as much as we admire their accomplishments cant forget the dark side of it all, so many drugs after a while not good for you. Its a curse bc they feel like supermen but at the same time it kills you slowly.

It's a hell of a trade off...


You can have an attractive body.. but you gotta deal with an ugly face and no hair. Which do chicks like most?

Oh yeah, "Personality"

Rockel doesnt look that bad bearing in mind he is 40 and he may actually be older, I remember a radio show where dexter jackson said Rockel told him he was 44 backstage.
