    This is the best news I’ve gotten all week. I look like a less balding 90s 30. That’s great for being 45.

    Does anyone else tell themselves all the other dads they meet are actually much younger than you?

    So what’s the deal? Sun tan lotion, all the antioxidants we were/are all huffing with various teas, and of course the avocado toast? (disclaimer, sounds interesting but have never eaten that)

    Individual genetics are probably more important. I had an uncle that liked like he was 42 when he was really 20-63.

    There was a real missed opportunity to have a picture of Jason Alexander (who was in his 30’s during most of Seinfeld’s production) instead of James Gandolfini.

    Still true tho

    My wife and I were watching an episode of Frasier and he states that he’s 38 years old at one point. We were both like YEAH FUCKIN RIGHT. I’m 45 and look closer to the person on the right, but I also don’t give a shit about “dress your age” nonsense. I’m not going to willingly age myself up.

      He was actually 41 in the show. In real life Frasier’s actual age was 38 so Hollywood went backwards and casted a younger person then the character. Cigarrettes had such a massive effect on people’s looks back then.

      Not stress, smoking, drinking and no sunscreen does that to you.

      I don’t think stress is any less, but actually more than in the 90’s

        Few people are as consistently stressed as Tony Soprano. Sure, he’s got the big house, the big car, the ridiculously understanding wife, but he also has had to kill a few family members and more friends than is usually healthy. Once, he got a good friend indebted to him then burnt down his restaurant. All this while trying to keep two steps ahead of the feds. That lifestyle would age anyone.

          All due respect, you got no fuckin’ idea what it’s like to be Number One. Every decision you make affects every facet of every other fuckin’ thing. It’s too much to deal with almost. And in the end you’re completely alone with it all.

          Edie Falco in one of the later seasons gave one of the most impressive and stunning acting performances that I have ever witnessed on TV.

          When she screams at Tony to get out of the house, she could shatter hearts with that voice.

          Just came to think of it seeing as this is a shitpost or whatever.

            Jim Gandalfini? Yeah I knew him. I knew him when he was a young, unshaven actor, before he fell, and spent forty years battling the foul Morgul stench. He emerged from that an aged man, his stubbled chin showing hints of grey, body and mind exhausted in spite of a great victory over the dark side. He took to wearing nothing but bathrobes, and rested heavily on his staff when he had to walk. His recovery was heavily reliant on resting his mind with the weed leaf, and rejuvenating his mind amongst the gardens and feasts of middle America, off the beaten track, as aeons passed him by. Soon, the great evil mustered its strength once more, and he again took to the battlegrounds of the Midwest, or as it was then known, middle earth…
