Thanks to @mj4cy for this thread topic!

Who is someone famous (or relatively famous/known) that's actual age surprised you compared to what you had always assumed (either much older or younger)?

I was watching a Traveling Wilburys video earlier this year and the video was from right after Roy Orbison died (they had an empty rocking chair that rocked back and forth during his parts). It made me wonder how old he was when he passed, because he seemed really old to me at the time.

He was 52. I was 52 when I realized that. :eek:
 
Jim Morrison when he died at 27. Guy looked like he was well into his 40s IMO.

These aren’t big ones but in my new 49ers fandom, I found out Kyle Shannahan is 43 or 44. I would have easily pegged him as 10 years older.

And a local one that I should have known better but he’s stuck in his 60’s to me, I realized Gary Thompson is around 90.
 
GREAT thread from my YouTube perusing. I came across this the other day, and I was like "Shatner's 92?!?!"

Basically so many iconic actors from my growing up in the 80s/90s.

Bill Murray, Harrison Ford, etc. are all in their 70s or 80s.

I had no idea Taylor Swift was 33. I thought she was much younger. I think back to when my daughter listened to her all the time, then I realized that was 10 years ago already! Time flies

That is crazy! Roy always looked so freaking old I assumed he was in his 70s at least!
