Tbh, I’d be more shocked if he wasn’t!

NataliaOsipova · 08/10/2019 19:46

Come on everyone fancied Andrew more than George

Nooooo. My dad phoned me the day that George was arrested in LA to ask how I felt! I lurved George.

Now Martin Kemp is someone who looks better now than he did in the ‘80s and he doesn’t look as if he has been tweaked in any way.

Boysey45 · 08/10/2019 19:48

56 !!! no way, he looks older than my Mum and shes 87.

CharityDingle · 08/10/2019 19:49

Saw him on the Graham Norton Show at the weekend. A lovely man, and he has aged well, IMO.

I met him in Manchester on Sunday (wearing the same clothes !), he was a total gent and smelled gorgeous ! I'm still all wobbly 2 days on !

Alsohuman · 08/10/2019 19:51

He looks considerably better than most men his age. Specsavers is that way ➡️ @Boysey45.

ControversialFerret · 08/10/2019 19:51

Weeblefeet Was that at the Trafford Centre? We passed a huge queue of people clutching his book - who I presume were waiting to meet him!!

Especially since George Micheal still looked relatively ok before he died.

Did you see images of George in his early 50s?
He also looked like a 50 year old mad with greying hair.

Andrew Ridgely has also aged and gone grey. He has just remained slim, which - in the face - can often make someone look a little older as they age. I think George had put on a little weight - this can make people look a little younger at times.

LondonJax · 08/10/2019 19:52

I think he looks very handsome and very smart. Martin Kemp is a couple of years older and he definitely looks good grey!

Andrew Ridgely is the same age as me and I'm going grey. Because I refuse to look a twat like Paul McCartney did a few years ago with 70 year old skin and chestnut hair. There comes a point in life when it's better to give in, chuck away the dye and enjoy the freedom!

George Michael began the journey into grey before he died. Lovely little grey goatee!

We early eighties teenagers are now, actually, approaching our retirement - I think we're allowed to grey up if we choose to.

MikeUniformMike · 08/10/2019 19:52

He looks gorgeous.

IslaMann · 08/10/2019 19:52

I'm seeing him on Saturday! I have a ticket to hear him talk at the Cheltenham Literary Festival. So excited.

Boysey45 · 08/10/2019 19:53

lol, he looks like an old man. Theres nothing wrong in that but he hasn't aged well.

AnyFucker · 08/10/2019 19:53

Fit. As.

Scarletoharaseyebrows · 08/10/2019 19:54

I thought he was lovely!

Benjispruce · 08/10/2019 19:55

He looks older than 56 but still handsome and sophisticated. He’s married to a third of Bananarama isn’t he? Is it Keren?

AuntieMarys · 08/10/2019 19:55

Polo necks are very on trend.
He looks shit hot.
What a ridiculous thread OP.

Pannalash · 08/10/2019 19:55

Give your head a wobble OP

Aragog · 08/10/2019 19:55

grumiosmum

To be fair the book paints George in a pretty positive light throughout.

Mrsmadevans · 08/10/2019 19:55

Nah he doesn't do it for me he's too much man @ C & A

soggypizza · 08/10/2019 19:55

I think he looks better now!

Benjispruce · 08/10/2019 19:56

I’m a mere 48 and sporting a very cool polo neck right now!Blush

FurryDogMother · 08/10/2019 19:56

I think he looks lovely now - but it's driving me mad - he looks like someone, but I can't think who it is - someone on the telly, I think (not himself, obvs!). I can almost hear that person's voice - well spoken, almost 'posh'. This is going to bug me until the answer comes to me - anyone got any ideas?

Nah, they split up. I believe he's up for grabs Grin

They were never married I think, but have split now
