Wilford Brimley

So is Harry Dean Stanton.

 

And Christopher Lee is also still alive, is 90 years old and keeps working in big budget films (he had a cameo in this summer's DARK SHADOWS and will be be seen reprising his role of Saruman in THE HOBBIT this coming December!).

HDS has been an old man for half a century, bro.

 

Have you heard of something called 'make-up' and 'acting'?

In 1982 he was in The Thing and didn't looked geriatric like his role three years later in Cocoon.

I was amazed when I first saw that this was an internet meme. My buddies and I used to joke about Brimley, Quaker Oats and the way in which pronounced "Diabetes" back in the 90s when he first started doing those commercials

 

Yes, he does. I have seen people in their forties that look way older and viceversa. I for example am 53 and look younger. When I recently revealed my age to this younger lady I know for years, she couldn't believe it and thought I was joking. She thought I was just 40!

 

Thanks the Heavens diabeetus hasn't taken him from us.

 

I HAVE to turn it about ME, dammit!!
:egypt:
Seriously, it was just an example of how some people don't look like their real age: some look older, others younger.

Wilford Brimley always looked older than he was. Look at him at age 42 as Horace in The Waltons, a role he played from 1976-1977:

 

Without a doubt, I'm 37 and I'm nowhere near looking close to him at that age.

 

Well AntAKnee, you were making good head way for a minute there. Unfortunately Panchy came around and brought us all to our senses.

Apparently Willford Brimley is just a regular old dude who ain't died yet and not some alien, vampire, or whatever the hell you were going with this.
