everyone who was once young is looking old

[Owllady]

I'm watching breakfast tv for the first time in years
Tony Mortimer!
Jason Donovan
Eddie izzard all looking much older
Lorraine Kelly looks younger
It's not them it's me isn't it?

Crikey and now they are making star fried eggs

[tootsietoo]

I know! And my Vic & Bob 1991 tour t-shirt is in so many holes now it needs to be binned. But I can't bring myself to do it, it means my youth is far too far away.

I was watching some repeats of Blackadder the other night and couldn't believe how young people like Tony Robinson, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie looked! They are all only a little bit older than me. I still think of myself as looking as I did when watching them the first time and avoid looking in mirrors. I guess if they look old now then.....

[Owllady]

Yep seeline :( :o
I feel like 've been half asleep for the last twenty years...why do people who were once cool, now looking like my dad?

[bumbleymummy]

Tootsie - you need a nostalgia box! That's where I put all my completely useless stuff that I can't bear to throw out because of the memories

In Inspector Morse, Lewis is a callow youth.

In Lewis, he's a grumpy old fart nearing retirement

It won't be long til we can watch Hathaway, featuring the long legged beauty that is Laurence Fox as a stooped and bitter old man.

[Owllady]

Morriszapp:o

It's like the babies that were born in do so opera's and changed DNA several times over the years, they are all now adults :(

[Owllady]

And now they've just shown Kevin spacey
I have only just started noticing this old instead of young thing...
Is this the start of a mid life crisis?

[bumbleymummy]

I noticed Tom Cruise looking really old a couple of years ago. That bothered me.

[Gottagetmoving]

I saw Lorraine Kelly a few days ago on TV,..I thought she was looking quite old now. It depends on the camera angle because sometimes she does look younger.

[TiredButFineODFOJ]

I still love the idea of Americans falling for Hugh Laurie on House and googling him only to find Blackadder 3 and being utterly bemused....
YANBU I saw Eddie Izzard... Still fab but so much older!

[MitzyLeFrouf]

Philadelphia was on TV last night. Tom Hanks looked like a foetus.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

'the long legged beauty that is Laurence Fox'

Beauty!

His face looks like it's made of melted Lego.

Of course the flip side of the coin is the standard 'policemen are getting younger' scenario which they are
However in my experience, my last visit to the GP I thought I was seeing a trainee, one of my DDs last primary teachers I thought was a secondary student on work experience, and my DSs secondary teachers I mistake for 6th formers. There is no hope.....

[WorraLiberty]

I thought this thread was going to be about a school reunion

[lighteningirl]

I read somewhere that Phoebes triplets are 18, Ben is 20 and Emma is 16

[Owllady]

Lol at Tom banks the foetus
I still find it difficult to contemplate that pippin is actually dead and more worryingly Mr Higgins her grandson, did most of the tricks and series

[Owllady]

Haha at school reunion

[EnaSharplesHairnet]

Italy's Prime Minister looks like the (slightly stroppy) YTS trainee.

That sentence dates me!

[trulybadlydeeply]

What about Paul Nicholas, who has been in Eastenders recently? he's looking positively ancient (sorry Paul). I used to drool over him in "Just Good Friends).

On another note, my first boyfriend when I was 15 was a tall, glorious tousle haired youth. I googled him the other day, he's a portly, bald estate agent

I'm not saying I've worn any better of course, but when I think of him (which is not often, I hasten to add) I somehow imagine that he's remained 15!

[DonkeyOaty]

At least thingy whatsisname, Titanic bloke has grown into his looks.

[DonkeyOaty]

LEONARDO. That's him.

[bumbleymummy]

truly yes! My exes are always their beautiful youthful selves in my head. I can't seem to keep their current image in my head! I like to think that I've aged well

[MitzyLeFrouf]

Leonardo's head gets bigger and bigger. Soon he'll look like Frank Sidebottom, him with the papier maché head.

[Owllady]

Oh God now Ronan Keating is on this morning
His wife looks v young though but she shares the same name as my daughter's horse


My first love has gone bald too :o I've got fat

[Owllady]

Mitzy you are v funny :o
