Holy fuck. I had no idea he was that old.
Holy hell, Ernie.

Well, he was in a movie with Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd…

I don’t even plan to live that long but if I did I’d be blessed to look that good.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 months ago
We’ll all be blessed to look a quarter that good. That is black magic. Wait, not like that. But really tho.
redsand@infosec.pub 2 months ago
Black don’t crack doesn’t even begin to explain this. He looks fit and 40

I’d be blessed to look that good at any age.

Do people plan on how long to live generally?

I met Ernie a few years back at a comic con. I was wearing an absolutely idiotic huge baby face costume I put together at the last minute. He sent his handler to grab me because he wanted to talk and get a picture with this stupid outfit. I was dumb founded and forgot to ask if I could take my picture with him at the same time. But he was pretty cool to talk with.

He’s gotta be dying his hair.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 months ago
STILL. 80!? Wtf!
hOrni@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I googled him, and he is a bit grayer than it looks in this picture. But besides that the picture seems accurate. I have friends in their 30’s that have more gray hair.

That’s only because Ernie Hudson comes by every week and drains their life force.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If you go out in the world and see people in public, you probably see a few every day who are either much younger, or much older than they look, but you don’t notice, because people don’t have their age printed on their shirt.
Apytele@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Very much so. The big thing is moisturizing which black people do waaay more of than whites, and especially beneficial if it’s an SPF moisturizer. Sunscreen and low UV exposure in general, as well not smoking or drinking are also huge factors, but are much less racially skewed. Stress and illness are also pretty big factors, but tend to be racially skewed against blacks for socioeconomic reasons.

Like, if he’d been the absolute picture of health for the whole time, yeah, okay, that’s achievable. But cancer TWICE!? Holy hell!
dismay3915@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No dude that’s NOT achievable💀 Mainly genetics but paired with healthy lifestyle.
FlembleFabber@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I wonder if he is on TRT. His arms look like a 20yo
BigBrainBrett2517@lemmy.world 2 months ago
My thoughts exactly. TRT and eats a Titanic amount of protein (of course he must workout pretty hard too - but at 80…)
FlembleFabber@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Yes true, in this case even with enhancing supplements it is very impressive. He also looks to never have been excessively large like a bodybuilder, which might help.
snoons@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
and is also somehow bigger then he was fifty years ago.

There’s no fucking way.
He made a Faustian pact.
But good for him. My deal sucked.
stickly@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ll bet 100:1 there’s a truly horrific portrait locked up in his attic

It’s all about getting lucky. I work with geriatrics on the regular, and all races have people who somehow manage to look in their 50s while on their deathbed, and some who look like they’re on their deathbed at 40.
TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 2 months ago
I have a lot of geriatric patients as well. I don’t know if it’s just about being lucky. Luck is part of the equation, but a bigger part of that equation is being active and maintaining your mobility.
I have a few patients in their 80s and 90s that look younger than their own children. The big thing they always have in common is that they stay active by exercising regularly.
Damage@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
There is a bit of feedback loop there though, some people with age accumulate issues that make it harder for them to stay active
imadethis@fedinsfw.app 2 months ago
I mean, fair, but hopefully that’s well understood as part of the equation. You’re also not going to turn out well if you’re constantly practicing self harm or smoking, whether cigarettes or meth, but I’m not out here being exhaustive.

Maybe he is afraid of some ghost… his, so he refuses death.

I think Morgan Freeman is his painting of Dorian Gray. That poor fucker was born looking like an 80-year-old man.
ieGod@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
He was in and maintained his amazing shape. Genetics definitely playing a role but I really believe proper resistance training and diet (ie lots of protein, proper caloric intake) is the fountain of youth. So many older in-good shape dudes at my local gym. You can tell they lifted heavy for decades.

He beat cancer twice, with those massive fucking guns. DYAMMMMM
Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 months ago
I reckon he’s done some sort of trade with Danny Glover who has looked a week from retirement for about 40 years now.
Shit, he’s actually older than Danny.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
He ain’t 'fraid of no cancer.

Gets cancer a third time

Hey, I wouldn’t wanna be cancer! Look at him! He’s got big muscular arms! You be cancer! Not me man! You do it!
Geldaran@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Seriously! I think he beat the cancer unconscious with his bear hands.
altphoto@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Just looking at how tiny that watch looks on his wrist.
AngryRedHerring@lemmy.world 2 months ago
He’s got the tools. He’s got the talent.

Have we considered that he may be wearing a ring of power instead of a wedding band?
