History Main / SilverFox

* ''Literature/KnownSpace'': The protagonist of "A Relic Of The Empire" had lost his fortune and become middle-aged before he recovered enough to afford [[ImmortalityInducer boosterspice]] again and regain his physical youth. He realized that he'd actually had more success with the ladies with some grey in his hair, and started dyeing it back in.

* In ''Literature/DragonBones'', Alizon, the king's bastard brother, is described as this. The ladies of the court apparently compare him to a wolf, not a fox, but the thought is the same.

He realized that he'd actually had more success with the ladies with some grey in his hair, and started dyeing it back in.

* Literature/SisterhoodSeries by Creator/FernMichaels: Myra Rutledge and Countess Anne "Annie" Ryland de Silva. Both of them are in their 60s and heading on to 70s. Make no mistake, they are old enough to be your grandmother, and they are incredibly sexy! In fact, ''Weekend Warriors'' has Nikki Quinn and Barbara Rutledge commenting that Myra looks better at 60 plus years old than they do at 30 plus years old. Now that's hotness!

* ''Series/TheResident'' has brilliant surgeon Dr Randolph Bell, played by the sixty-something, silver-and-gray-haired Creator/BruceGreenwood. Not only did Greenwood have the fangirls swooning, but Bell got a slow-burning [[OneTrueLove romance]] with the equally brilliant orthopedic surgeon Dr Kit Voss, played by Creator/JaneLeeves -- who, it must be noted, has matured like top-shelf whisky since her days on ''Frasier''. All in all, "[=KitBell=]" is now cited as one of the best TV romances between middle-aged characters to hit the airwaves in years.

They become a Silver Fox. Or, if they're female, a Silver Vixen.

* General Tarquin from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''. Haley sees him as evidence that [[spoiler:his son Elan is [[StrongFamilyResemblance still going to be attractive]] in his middle age]]. As a StickFigureComic, both characters qualify for InformedAttractiveness, but Tarquin's hair is definitely a '''pleasant''' share of grey, which lends the trope some credence.

* ''VideoGame/EXTRAPOWERAttackOfDarkforce'': The mercenary Wolf from the SPICA team ([[OneSteveLimit not to be confused]] with Wolf from ''VideoGame/EXTRAPOWERGiantFist'') is an older member of the team with a full head of grey hair, but is still as rugged and fit as ever.
* The ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' series has its fair share. Especially in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' where Solid Snake, despite having aged to the appearance of an elderly man, still has a fairly muscular body and an extremely prominent, well-sculpted ass. Likewise, Ocelot, who is in his 70s, also turns out to be fairly well built. And there's Big Mama aka [[spoiler: EVA]] who aside from some wrinkles, still has a rather youthful figure and wears an outfit with a plunging neckline.
%%* Sun Jian, starting from ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors 6'' on. It helps that, historically, he only lived to be 36.

* Lee Chaolan of ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''. Very much a white-haired {{Bishonen}} in his youth, he's now pushing 50 as of late and is ''[[OlderThanTheyLook still]]'' as [[{{Bishonen}} Biseinen]] as they get, even giving younger pretty boys like Jin, Hwoarang, and Lars a run for their money. Lee's InSeriesNickname, [[RedBaron fittingly enough]], is the "Silver-Haired Demon/Devil."

* Dante himself certainly counts as of ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'', moreso after shaving that scraggly beard off.
** And we can add [[spoiler:Vergil]] to the list too.

** Soldier 76, who is always seen with his mask on. While he was already quite the looker when he was [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NSyQjDwkeeI/maxresdefault.jpg the Strike-Commander of Overwatch]], two of his Legendary skins, particularly Commando: 76, show that he's still pretty easy on the eyes [[https://cdna0.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/002/827/456/large/airborn-studios-soldier.jpg?1466169818 despite aging.]]
** Reinhardt is the oldest playable character in ''Overwatch'' at 61, but he's still as muscular and handsome as he was in his youth. This is {{lampshaded}} by Ana, who's surprised by how well he's aged in an in-game conversation.
** Ana is only a year younger than Reinhardt, but still looks incredibly good for a sixty-year-old. Reinhardt even compliments her on how gracefully she's aged in the same conversation mentioned above.
* [[AwesomeAussie Australian]] Task Force 29 director Jim Miller, of ''VideoGame/DeusExMankindDivided'', is in his late forties and graying at the sides but still has a rugged, handsome look to him and looks quite suave in [[http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Jim_Miller?file=Miller_trailer.png his off-mission suit]]. It helps that, according to WordOfGod, his appearance was based on [[Creator/RutgerHauer Roy Batty]] from ''Film/BladeRunner''.
* [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Galzus Galzus]] from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776'' is remarked as quite handsome despite being older than many.
* Although Geralt of Rivia from ''VideoGame/TheWitcher'' cheats a bit by being ReallySevenHundredYearsOld he does look in his early forties and his totally white hair absolutely makes him a Silver Fox, or White Wolf. That said, a few people might be put off his shirtless scenes by the fact his torso and arms are covered in savage-looking scars from where he has been slashed and bitten. Monster slaying isn't all glamour.
** To a lesser extent, Regis from ''VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'' has his share of admirers, despite appearing to be in his early to mid-sixties--likely due to his [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire friendly nature]].

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' has the Archer of Shinjuku, a.k.a. [[spoiler: James Moriarty]], who manifests as a dapper middle-aged man with a fashionable suit and pure grey hair. Funnily enough, he's incredibly jealous of his old archnemesis for looking way younger and handsomer than he does.
* ''VideoGame/MaxGentlemenSexyBusiness'' has two attractive older love interests, the jolly Sinterklaas and the ferocious Summer Starling.

* ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'' has a number of them, due to this being a sci-fi universe where the rich can buy rejuvenation treatments and implants to make themselves look younger.
** Rogue Amendiares is the city's top Fixer. She's about 80, with long, flowing grey hair and wrinkles. You can take her out on a date in one of the sidequests.
** One of the love interests for [[MayDecemberRomance the 27-year-old V]], [[TheRockstar rockerboy]] Kerry Eurodyne is about 80-90, but looks very well for his age, sporting a full head of grey hair.
** Nancy/Bes Isis Heartley is a journalist [[IntrepidReporter still working in the field]]. She's about the same age as Kerry but looks to be in her late fifties due to long, grey hair and wrinkles.
* ''VideoGame/SwooningOverStansAGrunkleDatingSimulator'': Stan and Ford are this trope, even more so than they are in canon.
* ''VideoGame/CookieRunKingdom'' has [[HardboiledDetective Almond Cookie]], from the Magical Emergency Handling division, also part-time professor at Parfaedia Institute.
* ''VideoGame/Borderlands3'': Zane may be getting up there in years, but the ladies are still interested - several enemies refer to him as a 'pretty boy'. In the ''Guns, Love, and Tentacles'' DLC, he mentions that he's a three-time 'Galaxy's Sexiest Hitman' winner, which is no small feat in a setting like this one.
* Godbert in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has white hair, a bushy white mustache, and looks old enough to fit the role of the game's version of Santa Claus (which he does play as). Despite his older age, he's incredibly well built and has the strength to back it up. Male player characters can also be customized to look like this as well.
* ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' has Sun Jian, patriarch of the Sun family, who is portrayed as ruggedly handsome despite his silver hair and older age. This is definitely not upheld by history, as the real Sun Jian died young in battle at the age of 36.
* ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'' has Ujiyasu Hojo, who is openly desired by his subordinate Kai for his bravery and good looks. This portrayal of Ujiyasu is somewhere in his 50s, which aligns with the real Ujiyasu having lived to the age of 56 or so.

* ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' has Sun Jian, patriarch of the Sun family, who is portrayed as ruggedly handsome despite his silver hair and older ge. This is definitely not upheld by history, as the real Sun Jian died young in battle at the age of 36.

** Esidisi from ''Manga/BattleTendency'', even compared to the rest of the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Pillar Men]], who can live for thousands of years, is a senior. However, being a Pillar Man, he is a ''mighty'' senior who still gave Joseph a tough fight after his month-long TrainingFromHell.
** Joseph Joestar during ''Manga/StardustCrusaders'', who, despite being 69, still possesses a muscular physique due to the age-slowing effects of the [[PowerOfTheSun Ripple]]. However, by ''Manga/DiamondIsUnbreakable'', at just shy of 80, age has finally caught up with him, leaving him elderly and senile.

* ''LightNovel/Overlord2012'': Sebas Tian certainly looks the part as a charming elder gentleman with impeccable manners and hair apparently silvered with age. The subversion is that he is originally a computer game NPC and thus technically only three years old.

* ''Series/CobraKai'': Since thirty years have passed since the ''Karate Kid'' trilogy, John Kreese's hair has gone gray and he still as ruthless a karate fighter as well in his mid-70s. While Terry Silver, who had slick black hair in ''Film/TheKarateKidPartIII'', [[StealthPun now literally has silver hair]] when he is introduced in season 4. This also serves to make him look much older than his actor, since Silver is meant to be about the same age as Kreese, yet Thomas Ian Griffith is actually a few months ''younger'' than Creator/RalphMacchio, who plays Daniel [=LaRusso=] in his late 50s.

* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreed'': Ezio in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations''. He's 53 and still running around performing rooftop acrobatics and charming his new love interest, who's almost 20 years younger than he is.

* In the ''[[Literature/BritsuneGardenSeries Britsune Garden series]]'', Queen Lilie, grandmother of Malorie, is a loving corgi gijinka in her early seventies and having silvery curls, but she is described InUniverse and appears in the author’s official artwork as quite a beauty, having luminescent and dreamy blue eyes and a plump but voluptuous physique, especially with a [[BuxomIsBetter huge bosom]] ([[CrackOwMyBack with the price of back pain, unfortunately]]).

Well, for some people, anyway. Most of us will likely get {{grumpy|OldMan}}, [[DirtyOldMan perverted]], or [[WhiteDwarfStarlet past our prime]] and will end up [[CoveringUpYourGray trying anything in order to look younger]].

* [[AmoralAttorney Billy Flynn]] from ''Film/Chicago'' is a quintessential example of this. Being played by Creator/RichardGere helps.

** Belgarath is an ElderlyImmortal who looks to be in his eighties or nineties. Right up until he takes off his shirt, demonstrating that while his face may be that of an old man, his body is not.
** His daughter Polgara takes it even further, as she stopped aging somewhere in her 20s - five thousand years ago. She hypothesizes that sorcerers stick to the age they find best suits them - Belgarath and the other male disciples can get away with looking old because it makes them seem wise and respectable, but she would get the same effect as an old crone.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' Rupert Giles had a huge following amongst fangirls (and female Buffy Website/YouTube reactors) with Willow, Faith, Anya and even gold star lesbian Tara professing an attraction to him.

[-L - R, top to bottom: [[Series/YoungSheldon Connie Tucker]], Advertising/TheMostInterestingManInTheWorld, ComicBook/{{Magneto}}, and [[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012 Mrs. Anna Twombly]]-]]]

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', Stan [[spoiler:and Ford are]] considered Silver Fox[[spoiler:es]]:

** The Author of the Journals is in his sixties with gray hair and stubble but is still quite fit and attractive, unlike his overweight [[spoiler:twin brother, Stanley Pines]]. Pacifica calls him hot in ''ComicBook/GravityFallsLostLegends''. In the blacklight edition of ''Literature/GravityFallsJournal3,'' he writes a note to "figure out what a 'Silver Fox' is and why everyone keeps calling me one."

* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
** Esidisi from ''Manga/BattleTendency'', even compared to the rest of the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Pillar Men]], who can live for thousands of years, is a senior. However, being a Pillar Man, he is a ''mighty'' senior who still gave Joseph a tough fight after his month-long TrainingFromHell.
** Joseph Joestar during ''Manga/StardustCrusaders'', who, despite being 69, still possesses a muscular physique due to the age-slowing effects of the [[PowerOfTheSun Ripple]]. However, by ''Manga/DiamondIsUnbreakable'', at just shy of 80, age has finally caught up with him, leaving him elderly and senile.
** Likewise, Joseph's wife, Suzi Q, is shown to still have quite the figure, even as an old lady.

* In ''Manga/PrivateActress'', the 50-something actor Masakazu Ogata [[spoiler:(aka Shiho's father, who [[LockedOutOfTheLoop doesn't know about her]] until the second half of the story)]] is famous for three things. One, his genuine acting skills. Two, his womanizing. Three, how '''beautifully''' he has aged.
* ''LightNovel/Overlord2012'' Sebas Tian certainly looks the part as a charming elder gentleman with impeccable manners and hair apparently silvered with age. The subversion is that he is originally a computer game NPC and thus technically only three years old.
* The first episode of ''Manga/SkullFaceBooksellerHondaSan'' has the title character interacting with a very handsome, English-speaking gray-haired man. Much awkwardness ensues when he tries to buy an [[{{Hentai}} erotic]] {{doujinshi}}, which isn't available at the bookstore.

* Jack of ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot'' is the oldest of the Moriarty crew, with long silver hair that even is commented on by some of the young women who see him as a "distinguished gray" and implied to look like the hero of a romance novel, despite his age.
* The main cast of ''Manga/RistoranteParadiso'' consists of men in their fifties or older. All of them are regarded as quite handsome by their customers, Olga and Nicoletta.
* ''Manga/{{Freezing}}'': Sister Margaret Lindman is middle-aged, but has quite a luscious body as seen in an OVA where she is subjected to TheNudifier and everyone, [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer including women]], gawk at her.

* ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'': King Alfor's white hair seems to be a hereditary trait as opposed to being a sign of age (since he's had it since youth, as does his daughter Allura). Still, this doesn't stop him from being drawn fit and handsome even in old age.

* Eda the Owl Lady of ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''. Luz describes her as "Surprisingly foxy for her age." [[spoiler: WordOfGod says she’s only in her mid-to-late 40s but her curse has caused her to age prematurely.]]
* Only implied by Flowerbell about Papa Smurf in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' episode "Papa's Wedding Day" when she's trying to win his heart. As hinted in one of ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'' comic book one-page gags, strip away Papa Smurf's beard and he would look no different in appearance from an ordinary male Smurf.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'':
** Season 7 introduces Veronica Deane, a 50-something movie star who's attractive enough that every man in the office comments on it, [[CampGay including Ray]].
-->'''Ray:''' She almost makes me Q my G.[[labelnote:explanation]]"Question my gayness"[[/labelnote]]
** Mallory Archer, meanwhile, is a mixed example. She has the gorgeous silver hair, sexy figure, and dazzling sexual appeal that earns her plenty of gentlemen callers and she has dozens of former lovers all over the globe. But her adherence to this trope is only skin deep. While she's dignified and composed in comparison to the rest of the cast, Mallory is a shrill, demanding, and selfish old woman who torments everyone around her for her own amusement.

* Sylvia Sundew from ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' is in a good shape despite being an elderly frog, and both Hop Pop and Monroe find her very attractive. In "Family Fishing Trip", even Sprig gets distracted by her flowing hair.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6TheSeries'' episode, "Fear Not", Wasabi envisions becoming a successful SFIT professor when he has to fill in for an absentee. His ImagineSpot shows that he still has his good looks in his senior years.

* The Illusive Man, of ''Franchise/MassEffect'' 2 and 3, is [[TheChessmaster intelligent, charming]], and looks like he's in his mid-fifties in spite of being over seventy years old ([[JustifiedTrope justified, considering the long lifespans of humans in the game and Cerberus's emphasis on genetic modification]]). Bonus points for his concept art resembling Creator/AndersonCooper.
