I'll be brief :

Chatting to neighbour and saw a photo on their wall : his eldest son had long hair in the photo and tbh looked exactly like Steve Tyler.

I told him so and he was like Confused and then he said, oh when he was younger? I'm like, yeah of course, when he was younger, like 20. Very handsome etc.

Neighbour seemed a bit annoyed - AIBU?

This was how Liv Tyler found out Steve was her dad...

StrawberrySquash · 12/09/2020 21:27

Maybe his wife had some Love In An Elevator?
} I don't think that results in pregnancy! Wink

ShrimpSymphony · 12/09/2020 21:29

I wouldn’t call anyone being compared to Steve Tyler a compliment Confused

Thecurtainsofdestiny · 12/09/2020 21:29

Who's Steve Tyler?

HardStare · 12/09/2020 21:30

10k+ women would disagree shrimp - see photo. He was gorgeous when younger same as Mick Jagger was.

"Fairly generous mouth" Grin I feel a name change coming on!

HardStare · 12/09/2020 21:32

Lead singer of Aerosmith destiny

HardStare · 12/09/2020 21:35

Oh and Liv Tyler's Dad.

liverbird10 · 12/09/2020 21:37

Good Lord, @Bluntness100. Grin

HardStare · 12/09/2020 21:38

And yes, I absolutely would
maybe you sounded cougar-y OP

He got parental guardianship over a teenage groupie so he could have her live with him and go on drug benders with her when he was nearly 30.
Lovely.

CurtainWitcher · 12/09/2020 21:43

You've basically pointed the fact that their son has a big mouth. Certainly not a compliment.

Think before you speak, OP.

MinnieJackson · 12/09/2020 21:45

@Gelop I never knew this! Goes to google...

HardStare · 12/09/2020 21:46

Aw fuck. Him too. Julia Holcomb was her name. I didn't know.

Candyflosscookie · 12/09/2020 21:47

Urrggghhhh he's a right ugly dirty druggy fuckhead. Now and back then. If you told me my beloved child looked like him, I'd be showing you the door! Grin

Bluntness100 · 12/09/2020 21:47

@liverbird10

Good Lord, *@Bluntness100*. Grin
Yup, always had a proper thing for him .
Casschops · 12/09/2020 21:47

Ask him if pink is his favourite colour?

Proof that you need an eye test!!

Nope not if they were the last two men standing!!

HardStare · 12/09/2020 21:56

Sorry - trigger warning for the above video.
She was 16. He was 27? His parents were against the marriage (origin of relationship too much like Bill Wyman?). Following smoke inhalation, he gave her an ultimatum - him or a late-term abortion.
I am pro-choice but nonetheless Julia's truth is hers.

Best to keep these opinions to yourself.

Mick Jagger when young.
I don't need glasses - I see male beauty in both. I can also understand why vulnerable women may have seen that life as an escape route. Once you are in your mid to late twenties though you are the adult compared with a teenager. Three year relationship or not, the age gap is too exploitative at that stage in her life. An 11 year age gap is less of a problem later but not when you're 16 with your life ahead of you and you just have the tag 'groupie' attached to your name.
Julia and Mandy (Smith) both come across as surprisingly unbitter given the circumstances.

Could be worse. My neighbour grew a beard over lockdown and I told him he looked like David Bellamy.

Florencex · 13/09/2020 05:14

I think that was quite rude of you, most people would be annoyed to be old they look like somebody who is quite odd looking.
