But on Wednesday, a wrinkle-free Baz Luhrmann, 54, showed no signs of ageing.
The Moulin Rouge! director also rocked a carefree cap and tracksuit pants as he posed for photographers at the part 2 premiere of his Netflix drama The Get Down in New York.
Baz looked well attuned with recent trends as he rested a bleach-white cap gently atop his quiff hairstyle, posing for photographers at the Irving Plaza event.
The respected director doesn't appear to have aged a day since his 90's heyday, while he was directing the likes of Leonardo Di Caprio and Nicole Kidman in Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge! respectively.
Despite the star-studded lavish event, he looked carefree and casual in a black leather biker jacket and Puma track pants.
A simple white singlet flaunted his hairless chest and silver necklace, while his jacket was emblazoned with punk-inspired pop-culture badges often seen on high school kids' backpacks.
Baz was joined by his wife and The Get Down co-creator Catherine Martin, 52, who dazzled on the runway with a fresh pixie cut, feathered black jacket and head-turning starry patterned pants.
Her hubby put her arm around her shoulders, and gave her a loving cuddle.
Baz hardly looked out of place in the company of show stars Justice Smith and famed rapper Nas, who contributed several songs for the show.
Justice opted for more traditional fare, rocking a grey tartan suit and cheeky grin, while Nas joined an apparently impressed Baz in opting for casualwear.
He wore a thick gold chain necklace, loose black beanie and denim jacket, snapped with his director offering the widest smile he could muster.
Baz's storied Hollywood career began in the 80's as an actor, where he starred in the likes of A Country Practice in 1981.
A stint in stage eventually gave way to his better known directing debut Strictly Ballroom in 1992.
Widely considered his golden era, he's followed up in recent years with critically devise offerings in Australia and The Great Gatsby.
His Netflix series The Get Down has also been met with tepid reviews.
Part 2 will begin streaming on the service on April 7.
