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.
You would also likely enjoy “Top Secret!”
It’s number 5 lol. I miss Val Kilmer. What happened to him is a damn shame. Life can really be a fucker sometimes.
Christian Science is a fucker always.
Although it’s made tremendous contributions to the arts by killing musicians’ moms.
Other than James Hetfield noone springs to mind in the category “Musicians’ moms killed by Christian science”. Who else were you referring to?
They got three songs out of Maynard James Keenan alone.
You ever been to a Turkish prison?
You like movies about gladiators?
As someone who also loves that one and considered Airplane the best comedy, I concur. I’ll also add both Hot Shots movies to that.
we should start a new thread for all time comedies… what about Real Genius? Brain Candy? Better off Dead? Caddyshack? Something about Mary?
I want my two dollaaaaaaaaars.
Sorry your mom blew up, Ricky.
What’s a little boy like you doing with big boy smut like this?

Isn’t anyone gonna help this poor man?
Dude. Now… As ASAP as possible. And when you’re done, watch it 5 more times.
Fun fact: first movie to ever feature a fart.
Yes, you do. Comedic masterpiece.
Ten years ago I would’ve added Idiocracy. 7 years ago it became a documentary.

He started graying mid '70s 🤷
Looks damn good in this picture for his mid 70s
He’s 78 now lol
You don’t like jokes much, do you.
Oh, no, I walk right past all the low hanging fruit and keep on walkin’
A Target of assassination? That nut-job hated those cans!
Sounds like a typical bastard.
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.
I used to be someone.
He was also a philanthropist and donated a ton of money to stop cat juggling in South America.
He also found his special purpose!
He should see a doctor and get rid of it
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 :(
He looks like he’s in great shape though. It’s crazy that Martin Short is the younger of the two (by five years).
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.
Careful around oil cans too
They are known to spontaneously start leaking
HE HATES THESE CANS
Leave that painting in the attic.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Think about all the football players that have started and ended their careers already, all while being younger than you
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!
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.
I am the same age as Emmanuel Macron and it hurts too
Smoking.
This could be a anti smoking ad
And still smokers wouldn’t give a F
And sun exposure. Wear your sunscreen folks.
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 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!
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!
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.
Oh I know not to fight when something is lost, but in nogi my shit just gets wrecked superfast because it’s so explosive and people treat your neck like it’s a handle.
I’ve been doing martial arts in general for almost 30 years now, and I definitely was too careless when I was young. Bad advice about injuries where I got sent to a chiropractor instead of a surgeon meant I already had to get hip surgery before I had turned 40. (Bad FAI angles aggravated by trying to break through the pain, for over a decade, since I believed everyone I was being lazy and soft) I’m luckily more careful now, but there’s still days where I’m in pain just from walking or driving my car.
That sucks, chiros are a scam. Surgery used to be pushed hard too, when rest and appropriate PT is usually the best option. Unfortunately people ignore the PT far too often and just focus on the rest part, and end up even worse off due to not being able to maintain stabilizer muscle.
Active rest and PT really keeps a body healthy, especially as one gets older.
Yeah, I get surgery sometimes is pushed unnecessary but in my case my femur head made me have a FAI angle of only 35 degrees. Which caused physical damage to the point of oedema, osteoporosis, a cyst and shredded connective tissue. No PT is going to solve that. Recovery took over a year but at least I can now train 4-5 times a week again when before I was lucky if I could go once every two weeks.
And fuck chiropractors. I’m still angry at my former physician for referring me to a quack who cracked my neck for something that literally was a congenital problem with my femur head. I suppose I should have gotten a second opinion but I brought this up from when I was twenty untill in my thirties. It was only spotted when I got a full body RX for something else.
I am confused? I see plenty of 45 year olds that look like this. Just like how I see 18 year olds that look like they are 30 year old dudes, and also 18 year olds that look like they haven’t even reached 13.
How old do Rhett and Link look? They are about this age. Link is pretty grey.
Yeah they look about 45 (a few years older than me) to me. I think that’s about right. 80’s 45-year olds look like they are in their 50’s.
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

Great video, highly recommend
He was 50 and she was 49 in 1995. Not too far off.
Was watching an old episode of The Twilight Zone, main character was supposed to be 25, I swear he looked 40+ easily.
The first season of The Sopranos, James Gandolfini was only 36 or 37 when they were filming it. He looked 50 easily
Maybe that was the Charles Bronson episode.
Dawson Casting was even more severe back when the Twilight Zone aired. The Old School!
I wonder if Dawson Casting is quite right though. I’m thinking here of an actor playing a man in his mid 20s, but looking much older. Whether he was or not, I’m not sure, but flipping through Wikipedia’s transcripts of the opening narrations of the first season episodes, I see:
E21 has Vera Miles playing a 25 year old when she’s 30.
E31 has George Grizzard playing someone in his “youthful 20s” when he’s about 32 and looks it.
Seems similar, but also different: older actors playing younger people.

They wore clothes that looks 40+ years old since they were from a different time.
The actors aren’t.

The can’t go home one?
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
