Things that make me feel old...


Tom Hanks is now playing grandfathers. Where has the time gone?

reply

Don't know why you'd say that because he was around 30 when he broke big in the mid-80s.

reply

Yes, that is of course true. But he seemed was such a fresh-faced young actor back then. There's something about seeing actors who broke through when I was young now portraying elderly characters that really highlight how many years have gone by. I had a similar reaction a while back when I had it pointed out to me that Ariana Richards is now older than Sam Neill was when they made Jurassic Park.

The harshest reality check of how old you are you get when you signup on some website and under "year of birth" you have to scroll down ever further.

LOL so very very true... haha. I always dread the day that I slip into the next age grouping down on those awful lists.
