Or does Mr. T seem to age very slowly?

Each year goes by and when I see a new thing that has him in it, like a brand new commercial that just aired with him and the video game "World of Warcraft", he looks like he did years ago.


Here's to another 20 years of pittying the fool.

I dunno. He had a reality show on TV Land a few years ago called "I Pity the Fool" and I could tell some age with him compared to A-Team episodes. Maybe they used a lot of make-up for the commercial. I hope Mr. T lives a long life, I thought he was always cool :)
 
Some people do seem to age very slowly oddly and then you have some who look like they're in advanced old age before they even hit 40.

Case in point: My dad turned 40 the year my sister got married. The woman in the bridal shop when she picked up her wedding dress thought he was the groom and yelled because he was there.

Counterpoint my Uncle (who is one year younger than my dad) was assumed to be our grandfather by the same woman when he was being fitted for a tuxedo for the wedding.
 
Don't want to be racist but African - Americans and Asians, a lot of them don't age as bad as most people do. While there are many people of all sorts of nationalities that age as badly, a lot of African - Americans and Asians -- well we don't age bad. I know one Asian here for a while that was in his 40s but looked like he was in his 20s. Another one was well into his 30s but looked like a teenager. I get confused for a teenager as well. Some guy thought I was still in high school and I'm 25.

Look at Avery Brooks. I didn't know he was that old actually.

People always used to assume that my mother was my aunt's -- her sister's -- mother, and that I was her grandson. They aren't even three years apart.
 
firstly, Mr. T is awesome. The A-team is a wonderful show, He's actually a bit scary in Rocky III, and he is a guy with a big heart.

as for aging, Mr T respects his mother and drinks milk, he is unstoppable
 
I saw a picture of Mr T in a magazine a few years ago. It doesn't show much, but look closer and he does look a little older. Not by much... but the eyes look a little tired and the beard slightly thinner.

That was then...

... this is now-ish.

I pity the make-up artist... :klingon:
