Celebrity: Aged Much?
Ahoy hoy to him what you said to me there.
Speaker 2:Well, I was watching a Wells Fargo commercial with Steve Martin and Martin Short and I just sent Cole to like, hey, should we do an episode on celebrities who don't seem to have age? Steve Martin looks identical to the way he did when I was five years old. He already had the white hair and whatever. It's like he was born looking like he was like 50 and now he's pushing 80. He's like he was born looking like he was like 50 and now he's gotta be pushing 80 and he looks like he's like 50.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah. In his late 20s he looked 50. Yeah, I agree with you, the Three Amigos. Wasn't that one of the oldest movies I remember seeing of him, with Martin Short, of course?
Speaker 2:That was, yeah, 86, I think, is when that came out, but so the jerk was like 79. Okay.
Speaker 1:Um well, 86, he had white hair. Yeah, 86. He had white hair.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. So I think even in the seventies.
Speaker 2:geez this guy, poor Steve Martin but there's lots of them and I mean, obviously they have access to better diets and whatever, and maybe they're injecting baby collagen into their faces. Oh no, there are several celebrities that don't seem to have aged. Yeah, there are Keanu Reeves. Oh yeah, keanu.
Speaker 1:Who.
Speaker 2:I'm not suggesting, but he looks like yeah Right.
Speaker 1:Phil looks like Ted. Yeah, he can still hit. Yeah, hit the waves and ride in a phone booth Back through time. Bill and Ted there. Yeah, he does look great. The only thing is Is that his Five o'clock shadow Seems to have been the newer trend for him, I feel. But he does. He looks exactly the same as he did in the late 80s. I feel right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, first I saw of him even pre-Bill and Ted, was Parenthood. Steve Martin's own, oh my god, vastly underrated. But yeah, it should be noted that Keanu Reeves is an awesome dude. From everything I've read, he goes out of his way to do stuff without trying to get noticed. But that he paid the crew of the Matrix like a bunch of his salary Just really cool stories about him walking with homeless people and not trying to avoid the cameras, but just trying to figure out their story Sounds like an awesome dude, not aging. Couldn't have happened to a better celebrity. There you are. Yeah, he's a like an awesome dude, so not aging couldn't have happened to a better celebrity.
Speaker 1:There you are, yeah, he's a nice guy all around. I've seen a picture of somebody you remember the first Ghostbusters Owen, right, of course. Well, ernie Hudson, who is now 79. He played Winston in Ghostbusters. He's the black guy people. Yeah, okay, 79. He played winston in, uh, ghostbusters. He's the black guy people. We're not okay. Um, so anyway, nonetheless, ernie hudson, he looks better than he did back then, like that's a real thing. This guy's like jack, he's almost 80, like it's for real. You guys gotta look at, look up picture ernie hudson. I don't, I don't think I want to take a shot from that guy. You know what I mean, not just like stand there he's. He's in pretty good shape for an 80 year old.
Speaker 2:It's actually very amazing, my friend and I think it was season one of psych. He played gus's dad and felicia rashad, who was, uh, mrs cosby played gus's mom. Excellent show I recently started watching. Okay, but fact about Ernie.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Mr.
Speaker 1:Ernie, not Mr Ernie out of Colorado. No confusion, shout out to Mr Ernie out there. No relation. Yeah, it feels like we're on a very pop culture episode here, my friend. We don't do this. Usually it's a celebrity shop talk with Owen and Colt.
Speaker 2:But these are all celebrities from way back, I guess. But that's the point.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Jennifer Aniston still looks much like she did in the late 90s.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm sure that seems like it's a hair dye situation only. So she's like Friends. Fame, I feel, is the biggest thing. Me and Nicole watched her in an Adam Sandler movie that was pretty good not too long gone. It was like a Netflix. Oh, I did see that. Yeah, I don't remember what it was called, though because I'm old I forget that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:I saw one where it was like murder mystery kind of deal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's it. Yep, yep. There's two of them, I feel, and it's a pretty good movie. People I still like Adam Sandler. He's a heck of a guy, I feel I don't know. There's some pretty interesting people. I found Paul Rudd right. He doesn't seem to look much different than he did previous to. I mean, how old's Paul Rudd he's got to be like almost Maybe in his 50s. Yeah, I mean, I know he's older than that.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I don't know I should have done more research. I mean, that's part of the problem here on that one. But Paul Rudd, definitely he's aged well, Go Paul Rudd. That's a, that's a thing. Do you? Who do you got on mine? I think it's 55. Oh damn, no way. Go Paul Rudd. He's been eating his greens people, you know, cutting back on that.
Speaker 2:Go ahead. Oh just, I don't see anywhere on these lists Salma Hayek but that is a if ever a gross oversight Like she is looking great. I know she's in her 50s, so I don't know why she wouldn't be on these lists. But Halle Berry too. Yeah, halle Berry age well, yep, she's in her 50s, so I don't know why she wouldn't be on this list, but Halle Berry too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, halle Berry age well, yep, mario Lopez is on this list from Saved by the Bell.
Speaker 2:Oh, thank God, I know thank God I hope he beat up Scott Baio at one point in Century City at a BMX freestyle contest oh, my goodness, it's.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a thing. He, uh, he looks different. He looks like he's had some plastic surgery. People who made these lists I'm going between a few one's just your typical Google search of people who come up, and then I have a BuzzFeed thing and you know there's a few other ones. So, uh, that's what I did. If everybody out there wants to do this themselves at home sometime, you know, with their partner or friend or whatever I don't know, have at it, let's see another. Say that again, please.
Speaker 2:Idris Elba, who played Stringer Bell, one of the most complex and interesting characters in the history of anything. But yeah, he's in his 50s and he still looks like he Like. Yeah, he doesn't look like he can't fight, right yeah, yeah, he doesn't look.
Speaker 1:Dave Chappelle kind of looks the same too. Actually I was just thinking that he's not on the list. He's got a little bit more weight in his face. But Dave Chappelle doesn't look like he's you know 60 or whatever he is.
Speaker 2:You know he's got to be right around that age, yeah, and Will Smith still looks pretty young for being in his mid-50s, I believe. Yeah, jamie Foxx as well, I think. Jeez, probably everybody fortunate enough of our age to watch him live in color. My room is such great characters as Wanda yeah, wanda, oh my.
Speaker 1:God.
Speaker 2:And he looks like a. He almost looked older back then, yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, that's what they were saying about this Ernie Hudson, the guy from Ghostbusters. They're like he looks better now than he did in the 80s.
Speaker 2:It's like, yeah, he kind of does.
Speaker 1:That's funny. These guys are on a health kick of sorts in Hollywood. I guess lately Rob Lowe was one that comes up and there's no mystery here that Rob Lowe I mean he does look like he aged pretty well, but at the same time another plastic surgery guy, phil. I'm just going to say it. I don't have anything against these people. No dog in the fight here, just trying to call a fair contest of who's aged well, I guess I don't know if that's a thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sandra Bullock doesn't really look like she's had much work done, or if so, it was like limited, because she's like 60 and still looks pretty good. Doesn't look like you could bounce quarters off of her face like, uh, what was joan rivers?
Speaker 1:oh, my goodness, that woman, she was like the plastic surgery queen, yeah, no, uh, is she? No, I, uh, I haven't seen her in any movies recently. There was one called like A Silent Place or something like that, or Bird Box, that's what she was in on Netflix, and she looked relatively the same as I remember her when she first started coming out with stuff when we were kids, or when I was at least. And then let's see who else we got Harrison Ford. He does look like he aged pretty well for a guy who's like almost 80. He still almost looks like Indiana Jones, I'll say, you know. So that's kind of a thing. There's a lot of these people out there who you know, people. I'm going to tell you this right now Some of this shit is genetics, right, I mean, that's a thing. But if you just start eating, better lay off the McDonald's. No McRibs. I've seen their back for the season, unfortunately. The horror, the horror indeed. But you know, owen, how many steps do you average a day?
Speaker 2:you think? I think it's like 27,000 recently. Usually 30 is what I try to go for. 20 is like a bare minimum, unless I'm traveling or something where it's just not possible.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I stay on the move, right, and that's the thing, man, and I don't know. I've been averaging around the same I think lately. About 28,000 is what my phone says. I always have in my pocket and stuff, but roughly, and then you know, the flights of stairs help too. But that's the thing. Even if you people out there which I'm not assuming you don't do anything, I feel like we have a bunch of listeners who are just avid outdoorsmen. And you know weightlifters, you know automatically cross-trainer zone, but you know so they may not need to hear this. But, man, if cross trainer zone, but you know so they may not need to hear this. But man, if you just walk around while you're, like, say, talking on the phone, considering now that we all have cell phones and shit, that you don't have to just be stuck in the corner, you know you can, like I, even walk around while I'm watching tv.
Speaker 2:I don't know about you, owen, you have the elliptical right yeah, I pretty much just stay on the elliptical while I'm watching. Tv by myself, right yeah.
Speaker 1:No, these are things. These are all just activities that you just kind of get into and once they become a part of your routine, I don't know that shit helps you. But what I'm trying to point out here is that if you stay active, maybe you have a shot at aging well, Whereas a lot of these people they've had trainers and stuff. You don't always need to go overboard, I guess is what I'm trying to point out.
Speaker 2:Sometimes you just gotta stay active, use it or lose it, right? Yeah, that's the same pharrell williams too. He still looks like he's like 14 yeah, I seen him on there too.
Speaker 1:That's another one. No shit he does. He looks like he. Uh, he was on on MTV in fucking 98. Still, you know what I'm saying. Like that guy did age, I don't know if you call that. Well, if you want to be forever 14 years old with a little ratty mustache, then that's fine, but fucking you know who I've seen. I'm going off the top right now no list, owen. But there's a fashion designer and Nicole is shopping for some stuff and you see her on the thing and her name is Vera Wang or whatever, and she's like fucking 70-something and she doesn't look like that. She looks like she may be in her 40s almost or some shit like that. It's crazy. There has to be some superfood somewhere, my friend.
Speaker 2:Big monster fish.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we gotta find the source. Yeah, I don't know. This is a cool episode. So far, I like it. I mean, we all know people and or celebrities that you've watched growing up who have taken a dark turn and they're unrecognizable at some point, and those are typically the people that took the turn of hard drugs and alcohol abuse. I feel you know stuff of that nature or you know whatever. But, like, some of this shit is phenomenal that we need to figure this out on we is this turning into a hell show? What? Where should we take this? Do you you have anybody else?
Speaker 2:I don't know, Are you going to be making quinoa salads for people Cole?
Speaker 1:No, I'm just thinking about it. You know a lot of these people, a lot of people. Oh, you know you'll like this one Julia Louise Dreyfus, elaine from Seinfeld.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:She fucking looks the same as she did on Seinfeld in like 90 mid-30s woman or something you know like for fucking ever.
Speaker 2:She doesn't have the like early Seinfeld crown hairdo. She did, though the epic. Yeah, that was the original like famous part of.
Speaker 1:Yes, very signature.
Speaker 2:William Shatner. He's in his 90s and he looks pretty damn good.
Speaker 1:Oh no shit. How could we forget the Shatner? I almost Shat it all over the place. No, yeah, no shit how could we forget the shit? I almost shat it all over the place. No, you have not William Shatner.
Speaker 2:You shall not forget the Shatner.
Speaker 1:No, we cannot. And the fact that he is the face of Michael Myers' people Look it up or listen to our Halloween episode. But yeah, that's another one. William Shatner.
Speaker 2:Elijah Wood still looks like he should have a lemonade stand.
Speaker 1:Yes, he does. Elijah Wood Going to the book fair. Oh my God, he definitely looks like that.
Speaker 2:Have a glass of warm milk and some cheese pizza.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that is a thing. He was in a pretty funny show on Hulu with Steve Buscemi and I don't remember the name of it, sorry guys, but basically the Hulu with Steve Buscemi and I don't remember the name of it, sorry guys, but basically the first season Steve Buscemi plays God. Steve Buscemi never aged well at all. I wonder if he looked weird from grade school on or birth. I'm unsure. He maintained that I love Steve Buscemi, but on the other end of the spectrum, steve Buscemi, he always looked kind of like a weirdo. Am I right? Is this a thing that people don't know? I don't know Anyway.
Speaker 2:No, he's a wonderful actor Just beyond classics, but uh, he's different. Yeah, he's probably frightened children.
Speaker 1:Yes, he probably has, and he's a really nice guy too. Like that's, another guy that I've heard a lot of good things about is Steve Buscemi. Yeah, absolutely so. That's cool. Hey, when you said Elijah Wood, for some reason it reminded me of you. Remember that kid from Third Rock, from the Sun, who's not a kid anymore?
Speaker 2:Yeah, who still looks like he's like yeah, yeah, I can't remember his.
Speaker 1:That's a jungle gym. Yeah, I can't remember his fucking name, though we're on top of it today. You know that's the thing about this top-notch, hard-hitting journalism is we stay on top of things. Third rock from the sun Indeed. Yeah, I'm going to get this kid's name real quick. He's not a kid, damn it. Why do I keep saying that he's not a kid? Anymore he's like 40 something, I know.
Speaker 2:He's got to be. I know exactly who you're talking about, but I can't think of it, kate Winslet.
Speaker 1:See, I'm unsure who that even is. I don't even know who that is. Off the top Sounds very British. The name's very familiar. Yes, it is Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the guy's name. Okay, yeah, and he does. He looks the same. That's the thing he still has a lunchbox. He might.
Speaker 2:Like a.
Speaker 1:Garfield lunchbox, it's a possibility. The great GI Joe yeah, hey, kathy Bates, aged pretty well too. Huh, we're watching Matlock these days, people. I don't know if you know that, but there's a new Matlock out there, right, owen, isn't that a thing? Yeah, I'm loving it. Yeah, I mean, she always kind of looked like that Officially Within the first, oh sorry.
Speaker 2:No, go ahead, oh, just sometime. Within a few weeks after starting to watch Matlock which I never watched the old one I then went on a mall walk with our friend, matthew, friend of the show. And yeah, we were like, okay, we're officially old Owen's watching Matlock and we're walking around the Billings Mall, but hey, yeah, it was all floppy out and we wanted to get our walkabout in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure, and you know that's about getting those steps in keeping that health up. That's exactly right, my friend. I don't know, guys, take this for how you want it, but if you want to look some of these people up, it is kind of amazing how good good to me if you can't see the plastic surgery. It's like, yeah, they must be pretty good people because that's a pretty good hand they were dealt. I feel I've never heard anything bad about harrison ford. Oh, randy quaid was on that list too, by the way, and uh, he looks about the same. I feel I don't know, der Deranged, Deranged. Yeah, yeah, did you like that? I snuck in something that is very untrue. He looks crazy man. Randy Quaid looks very different than what he did. I don't even know how he's related to Dennis Quaid. Are they like half-siblings from the trailer park? What is going on? I don't know.
Speaker 2:They definitely make him sit in the other room at Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no shit, that's a thing. Well, I hope everybody out there is on that note, on this very holiday season that we're going through right now, because it is almost Christmas time, we just shoved some celebrities down your throat. That's what we're going to do, guys, some 80s ones as well, not even new ones. Is anybody that we just talked about, besides Kathy Bates, working right now? I don't know.
Speaker 2:Maybe not, we know, scott Baio, isn't it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, thank God, anyway, I don't think we've forgotten this beef.
Speaker 2:Scott Baale.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not going anywhere apparently.
Speaker 2:No, let's just keep going. So, other than Scott Bale, much love everybody Indeed. Thank you.
