Yes, people get older. Shocker

FavouriteSong · 08/10/2019 19:04

He was in his 20s in the 80s. Do your sums.

feathermucker · 08/10/2019 19:05

Did you expect him to look the same as in his heyday?!

I think he looks great!

GlubGlubGlub · 08/10/2019 19:07

He’s still beautiful!

janj2301 · 08/10/2019 19:07

I love watching stars age overnight in movies. I love 50s 60s movies then seeing the actors in more recent stuff

haverhill · 08/10/2019 19:07

He’s about 60?
What’s he meant to look like?

Trewser · 08/10/2019 19:07

Even my 16 year old dd thought he was beautifully dressed when he wss on masterchef!

BorisJohnsonsSecateurs · 08/10/2019 19:08

Tbf, he disappeared off the radar for so long that he's ageing is more apparent than if we'd seen him over the years. At least he's growing old gracefully and not an advert for plastic surgery.

Mydogmylife · 08/10/2019 19:08

Yes

confusedjuly2019 · 08/10/2019 19:08

YABU he's 56

DobbyLovesSocks · 08/10/2019 19:09

I have this with FRIENDS. Whenever I see one of them from the present I'm like whoa, they aged 😱. I'm still watching them in s1-10

isabellerossignol · 08/10/2019 19:09

I'm not loving the polo neck but I don't think he looks terribly old. He's got grey hair, but loads of men have grey hair in their 30s and he's obviously a lot older than that.

kenandbarbie · 08/10/2019 19:09

He looks way older than 56

I am a man. I am the same age. I have grey hair.

SwedishEdith · 08/10/2019 19:11

He's aged really well - he looks very elegant.

TheFaerieQueene · 08/10/2019 19:11

In other news, bears shit in woods and Pope is quite likely to be a catholic.

Samcro · 08/10/2019 19:12

He looks. Very good

Dontsweatthelittlestuff · 08/10/2019 19:12

He looks like a man of his age but even though his hair is grey and thinner facially he is aging well. His skin looks good for a man in his middle 50’s

PullingMySocksUp · 08/10/2019 19:14

What’s the polo neck photo? I can’t find it.

Anyway, Wham were slightly before my time and I always preferred Duran Duran so I never paid them much attention beyond noticing that George Michael was ‘the good looking one’. Just image searched Andrew Ridgley to find that this really wasn’t the case! Why did none of us notice him?

Mrsjayy · 08/10/2019 19:14

Well I was 14
so thirty four bloody years ago !

He was on Graham Norton on Friday he is so nice I think I'm going to get his book.

zebrasdontwearbras · 08/10/2019 19:14

He's gone grey gracefully, that's all.

I just googled him, and I was expecting much worse. He looks good!

Mrsjayy · 08/10/2019 19:15

When I saw wham in concert*

isabellerossignol · 08/10/2019 19:16

Isn't he an outdoorsy sea and surfing type? He certainly looks a lot healthier than George Michael did near the end.
