The guy in the photo was raised by black sharecroppers, a target of an assassination, a multimillionaire inventor/carnival worker, and lost it all only to finally find his rhythm after being homeless and destitute.
You’d be gray haired too.
The Jerk is one of my favourite movies, but it’s surprisingly rare for me to find someone else who knows it exists.
My greatest comedies of all time:
-
Airplane
-
Naked Gun
-
Blazing Saddles
-
The Jerk
Any of those 4, and you will cry laughing.
You would also likely enjoy “Top Secret!”
It’s number 5 lol. I miss Val Kilmer. What happened to him is a damn shame. Life can really be a fucker sometimes.
Christian Science is a fucker always.
Although it’s made tremendous contributions to the arts by killing musicians’ moms.
Other than James Hetfield noone springs to mind in the category “Musicians’ moms killed by Christian science”. Who else were you referring to?
They got three songs out of Maynard James Keenan alone.
You ever been to a Turkish prison?
You like movies about gladiators?
As someone who also loves that one and considered Airplane the best comedy, I concur. I’ll also add both Hot Shots movies to that.
we should start a new thread for all time comedies… what about Real Genius? Brain Candy? Better off Dead? Caddyshack? Something about Mary?
I want my two dollaaaaaaaaars.
Sorry your mom blew up, Ricky.
What’s a little boy like you doing with big boy smut like this?

The only one of those I still haven’t seen is Blazing Saddles and I really need to rectify that.
Weekend at Bernie’s is at the top of my list.
Isn’t anyone gonna help this poor man?
Dude. Now… As ASAP as possible. And when you’re done, watch it 5 more times.
Fun fact: first movie to ever feature a fart.
Yes, you do. Comedic masterpiece.
Ten years ago I would’ve added Idiocracy. 7 years ago it became a documentary.

He started graying mid '70s 🤷
Looks damn good in this picture for his mid 70s
He’s 78 now lol
You don’t like jokes much, do you.
Oh, no, I walk right past all the low hanging fruit and keep on walkin’
A Target of assassination? That nut-job hated those cans!
He was also a philanthropist and donated a ton of money to stop cat juggling in South America.
Sounds like a typical bastard.
You just randomly picking on people? It’s not like you can flip through phone books anymore…
That’s why things aren’t happening for people now. We don’t have the spontaneous publicity of our names in print anymore.
I used to be someone.
He also found his special purpose!
He should see a doctor and get rid of it
In 1995 Steve Martin was 50, so it’s not too far off the mark
Dude no way, if he was 50 back then he’d be almost eigh— (checks wikipedia) — oh… oh no :(
He looks like he’s in great shape though. It’s crazy that Martin Short is the younger of the two (by five years).
I’m starting to worry that I look like Steve Martin in this picture but in my mind I look younger. I shall stay away from mirrors to ensure the illusion.
Careful around oil cans too
They are known to spontaneously start leaking
HE HATES THESE CANS
Leave that painting in the attic.
Seems like he was always silver haired too. I don’t remember him any other way.
He did grey very young. I had a friend grey in his twenties, so it does happen.
Not only that, but a male star with an age appropriate love interest, that’s getting more rare now.
That was also pretty rare back then. Older male with younger female partner has always been the norm in movies and TV.
Smoking.
This could be a anti smoking ad
And sun exposure. Wear your sunscreen folks.
He was 50 and she was 49 in 1995. Not too far off.
In hollywood youre either acting as a teenager or senior citizen
Same in porn
What? Isn’t that what they are supposed to look like now?
That’s like 65.
Damn… Ouch… Shots fired
Fuck you very much
I am confused? I see plenty of 45 year olds that look like this. Just like how I see 18 year olds that look like they are 30 year old dudes, and also 18 year olds that look like they haven’t even reached 13.
How old do Rhett and Link look? They are about this age. Link is pretty grey.

Great video, highly recommend
Steve Martin still looks the same
Exactly the same!
Was watching an old episode of The Twilight Zone, main character was supposed to be 25, I swear he looked 40+ easily.
Maybe that was the Charles Bronson episode.
The first season of The Sopranos, James Gandolfini was only 36 or 37 when they were filming it. He looked 50 easily
Dawson Casting was even more severe back when the Twilight Zone aired. The Old School!
I wonder if Dawson Casting is quite right though. I’m thinking here of an actor playing a man in his mid 20s, but looking much older. Whether he was or not, I’m not sure, but flipping through Wikipedia’s transcripts of the opening narrations of the first season episodes, I see:
E21 has Vera Miles playing a 25 year old when she’s 30.
E31 has George Grizzard playing someone in his “youthful 20s” when he’s about 32 and looks it.
Seems similar, but also different: older actors playing younger people.

They wore clothes that looks 40+ years old since they were from a different time.
The actors aren’t.

And both of them were five years removed from playing teenagers.
Change their clothes and hair style and this is exactly how 45 years old look like… Steve Martin has a baby face, even with gray hair.
Someone on his 80th Birthday (Sex, Drugs & Rock’n Roll)
How much dye?
I see two rather young looking faces framed by grey or white hair (I’m a big fan of natural greying) and with terrible outfits that make them look much older. So to me it seems that finally we have a better fashion.
