The guy in the photo was raised by black sharecroppers, a target of an assassination, a multimillionaire inventor/carnival worker, and lost it all only to finally find his rhythm after being homeless and destitute.
You’d be gray haired too.
My greatest comedies of all time:
-
Airplane
-
Naked Gun
-
Blazing Saddles
-
The Jerk
Any of those 4, and you will cry laughing.
we should start a new thread for all time comedies… what about Real Genius? Brain Candy? Better off Dead? Caddyshack? Something about Mary?
You just randomly picking on people? It’s not like you can flip through phone books anymore…
That’s why things aren’t happening for people now. We don’t have the spontaneous publicity of our names in print anymore.
In 1995 Steve Martin was 50, so it’s not too far off the mark
Dude no way, if he was 50 back then he’d be almost eigh— (checks wikipedia) — oh… oh no :(
I’m starting to worry that I look like Steve Martin in this picture but in my mind I look younger. I shall stay away from mirrors to ensure the illusion.
Seems like he was always silver haired too. I don’t remember him any other way.
Well if you smoke two packs a day since you’re eight and everything you touch, eat and breathe contains lead, asbestos or both – that might age you a little.
Not only that, but a male star with an age appropriate love interest, that’s getting more rare now.
Slightly on topic, but yesterday I discovered that I’m the same age as Rishi Sunak, and it’s fucking with my brain that I’m the same age as the Prime Minister. Something about that just ain’t right.
Rob Ford was in his thirties when he was mayor of Toronto but if you look at pictures of him you’d never believe it.
I’m actually remembering wrong, he was 41, but still looked a hell of a lot older.
Idk… I feel like that’s okaish…you don’t want to end up on Biden/Trump age for a leader.
Older age isn’t necessarily a negative factor in leadership, but I know what you’re saying. However, I can’t deal with the fact that I’m 43 and don’t feel like a grown up, so does that mean our Prime Minister feels the same way about himself? I can’t square that circle, y’know?
I think it just something about public figures and that they can’t possibly live a life like us or something.
I have the same thing, but opposite direction with the stranger things cast. Still can’t belive they’re the same age or older than me.
I think it also ties in with the “olders and betters” mentality that we’re brought up with. There’s a sense of gravitas to the office of Prime Minister, and even if they’re doing stupid shit there’s a monkey bit of my brain that’s like “ah, but they’re old enough to know better than me”. But now the PM is only four months older than I am, and my mum worked for his dad for a few years, so we could have (theoretically) turned in the same circles*, and he’s up there in the highest office in the land, doing stupid shit and I’m looking at him and wondering who let this idiot kid be in charge.
*We really couldn’t have though, he went to a very fancy school and was already married to a billionaire by the time my mum started working for his dad. His dad’s actually sound.
