Reminds me of an episode of "Cheers." Cliff calls a woman and starts heavy breathing into the phone, then he's surprised when she hangs up.

"My mom always laughs when I do it to her!"

I recently discovered that, at the beginning of Cheers, Cliff was some five years younger than I currently am, and I'm not happy about this AT ALL.

I saw this one posted recently. Two British actors, both 34 in their respective photographs. One is Sean Connery, born in 1960 so the photo was taken in 1964/65, the other is Thomas Brodie Sangster, born in 1990.

Both actors are 34, they don't look the same age

Sean Connery's path to 34 involved a lot more drinking and smoking. Sangster presumably has a skincare routine. But, still, it's striking.

P.S. That isn't Connery's natural hair.

Christ, that's astonishing.

A while back, someone mentioned Jack Benny, and we all laughed about how he'd always say he was "only 39."

When we were kids, we wondered how old you had to be to think that 39 was young.

Now we know!
