In the very beginning, there is that fantasy/dream/whatever sequence when Steve Martin's character is a young boy at a baseball game. At one point he says (what I think was) "I'm actually 35".
Did he really say 35 and was that meant to imply Steve Martin's character was 35 years old?
Steve Martin was 44 when this movie was made and looked at least 50.
It kinda bothered me at first, but after thinking about it, it sort of makes sense that he would appear to be older than he really is. I'm talking about the character, by the way. I mean, he has to deal with his kids that run rings around him, and he has the weird family. No wonder he looks older! Look at the stress he has to put up with!
shareYeah - big house, "backbone" of his company, grey hair, mid-life crisis, fourth kid on the way - no way was 35 the right number...
shareif his hair was darker he would look like a 35 year old. Men don't age that much between 35-45 besides their hair. Also when Martin was actually 35 he had grey hair, he had grey hair in his 20's as well.
