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.
I am the same age as Emmanuel Macron and it hurts too
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.
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 don’t know about Sunak specifically, but generally the types of people who succeed at politics have way too much unjustified self-confidence to introspect that much.
Buddy if you didn’t feel this at 40 then good for you!
Think about all the football players that have started and ended their careers already, all while being younger than you
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.
What? Isn’t that what they are supposed to look like now?
That’s like 65.
Damn… Ouch… Shots fired
Fuck you very much
Haha I get it man. When I watch Seinfeld now I get annoyed because I’m like “how am I older than George costanza
Someone on his 80th Birthday (Sex, Drugs & Rock’n Roll)
How much dye?
Steve Martin still looks the same
Exactly the same!
In 1995 Steve Martin was 50, so it’s not too far off the mark
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.
Leave that painting in the attic.
Careful around oil cans too
They are known to spontaneously start leaking
HE HATES THESE CANS
Dude no way, if he was 50 back then he’d be almost eigh— (checks wikipedia) — oh… oh no :(
He looks like he’s in great shape though. It’s crazy that Martin Short is the younger of the two (by five years).
Seems like he was always silver haired too. I don’t remember him any other way.
He did grey very young. I had a friend grey in his twenties, so it does happen.
Boomers just look old by default
He was 50 and she was 49 in 1995. Not too far off.
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.
Two drinks and two packs a day will keep the youth at bay
Because of infertility, right?
Damn right.
I have an aunt who has always looked about 15 years older than both of my parents, despite being my dad’s younger sister. Smoking, drinking, and tanning will age you quick.
Change their clothes and hair style and this is exactly how 45 years old look like… Steve Martin has a baby face, even with gray hair.
I see two rather young looking faces framed by grey or white hair (I’m a big fan of natural greying) and with terrible outfits that make them look much older. So to me it seems that finally we have a better fashion.
People deye their hair more now. That’s the biggest difference.
In hollywood youre either acting as a teenager or senior citizen
Same in porn
I can’t get that old, ever. I am 45 next year, and it’s like Oscar Wilde had said: “The tragedy of growing old is not that one is old but that one is young” and you have to show that. Starting with jiu jitsu next month. Let’s roll!
BJJ will keep you mentally young but your body will start feeling a lot older. Upside is that it’ll be able to do more cool stuff.
Only if you let it. Treat every injury as a sign to rest and recover, don’t overdo it, and don’t fight a submission you already lost.
I’ve been doing it for 17 years and I feel great. Had a few injuries over the years and I always take time off and do active recovery instead while I’m injured.
45 y/o here that’s been doing jiujitsu for 17 years. Hit me up if you need any tips.
Must not be very good if this newbie can hit you up that easily…
Oh see I love my forties. I’m almost 50 and I like that too. It rocks!
Not only that, but a male star with an age appropriate love interest, that’s getting more rare now.
That was also pretty rare back then. Older male with younger female partner has always been the norm in movies and TV.
Great video, highly recommend
