    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.

    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

    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’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.

    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.

        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.
