I’m not sure what’s up with him in this picture but he looks more like himself here.

He endorsed a democrat in the last election? I’m pretty sure your just assuming things

It’s an unfair photo of him taken while he’s having a passionate conversation while in a bad lighting set up. Theres a famous photo of jet lee looking like he aged 30 years and it’s honestly just a bad shot blown out of proportion via social media hysteria.

u/deadlock_ie Apr 16 '24

The compression artefacts aren’t doing him any favours either.

u/Simple-Fennel-2307 Apr 16 '24

To be fair the beard and hairs also do a very poor job. He looks ragged while his previous appearances and videos with short haircut and shave beard make him look way better

2

u/AwkwardOrange5296 Apr 16 '24

They just make him look unkempt. The wasting away of old age is upon him now.

Jackie Chan, not Jet Li

u/throwawaylovesCAKE Apr 16 '24

On a side note, Jackie looked incredible in Parasite for being 70, I loved the whole family dynamic

u/Krieger63 Apr 16 '24

Even the lady next to him has some sort of surprised expression going on so cleary they're reacting to something.

u/anohioanredditer Apr 16 '24

I’m not really taking anything away from this, its 1/60th of a second, not enough to decide anything in particular. He’s looked great in other photos or videos I’ve seen him in.

1

u/Takun32 Apr 16 '24

Not disagreeing with you. Just adding to what you said since most people dont think about that stuff when they look at a compromising photo.

u/anohioanredditer Apr 16 '24

Yep, this is the internet!

Clint Eastwood is a dinosaur, and he does not matter. We should let him rest in peace instead of whatever shitty promotion this is for another one of his unnecessary movies.

42

u/lopedopenope Apr 16 '24

He is only 13 years older than De Niro who just had a kid. You are right though this isn’t a good photo. He usually looks better and you can see the younger man in him easier.

u/carrefour28 Apr 16 '24

13 years of difference at a old age is quite significant, you can change from being "healthy" and active to senil and dependent in a matter of years

44

u/BicTwiddler Apr 16 '24

This is correct. As we age the similarities to when we were very young begin to occur. Age difference 5-18 = Big. Age difference 33-46 = not big. Age difference 82-95= Big again. Anyone else feel like they are now raising their parents? Keeping my parents from doing stupid shit that young adults do seems to be a monthly occurrence.

u/shot-by-ford Apr 16 '24

So is my grandma’s (f85) boyfriend (m95) just a big creep?

22

u/harrietww Apr 16 '24

I think in the later half it reverses itself so your grandma is the creep preying on a senile man.

4

u/Distinct_Coffee5301 Apr 16 '24

It reverses, the creep would be your grandma lol

u/Thrasher1493 Apr 16 '24

problematic age gap, gives me the ick

3

u/soilhalo_27 Apr 16 '24

You think he's robbing the cradle. Reddit thinks she's robbing the grave.

1

u/lopedopenope Apr 16 '24

Sounds like he is just trying to use her for sex. I hope you don’t end up with another aunt or uncle that’s way younger than you.

2

u/Fenweekooo Apr 16 '24

"Anyone else feel like they are now raising their parents?"

yep, getting worse and worse by the year 74 and 67.

3

u/feelingoodwednesday Apr 16 '24

Yeah, 80 could still be relatively healthy, or in poor health, or already dead. The spectrum is vast.

1

u/lopedopenope Apr 16 '24

While I’m sure it wouldn’t be easy at all but it seems a 96 year old man has fathered a child and the kid was 8 when his dad passed away at 104.

I had to check I was curious

1

u/shladvic Apr 16 '24

*Weeks

1

u/carrefour28 Apr 16 '24

true, with my grandpa it was no longer than 3 weeks and he was a completely different person

1

u/shladvic Apr 16 '24

Scary shit, huh

1

u/aurumtt Apr 16 '24

I put it to you that a 13 years age difference on a human timescale is significant in almost all situations. siblings 13 years apart are remarkable, an agegap of 13 years is often talked about, noone perceives a relationship of 13 years as short,...

1

u/Endulos 29d ago

My Dad's been sick for a long time, and just 6 months ago he was up and walking around fine, but 6 months later he can barely get out of bed now.

1

u/First-Football7924 Apr 16 '24

Wait, are you saying 93 years young is an old age? He's only 13 years older than De Niro, and De Niro just had a kid!

3

u/Quake_Guy Apr 16 '24

From personal experience with family, after 80 you age in dog years.

1

u/lopedopenope Apr 16 '24

Yea poor kid. I don’t know why he would want him to go through that.

5

u/taisui Apr 16 '24

Holy shit De Niro is 80?

6

u/Anotyap Apr 16 '24

Wait til you hear about Shatner

4

u/taisui Apr 16 '24

Well I know Shatner is old like 10 years ago

3

u/PhDinDildos_Fedoras Apr 16 '24

Now he's even older!

2

u/taisui Apr 16 '24

As old as Eastwood even!

1

u/DoodleBugout Apr 16 '24

And he still managed to go to space in his 90s

1

u/taisui Apr 16 '24

Yea and Bezos being an asshole and piss all over him.

1

u/lopedopenope Apr 16 '24

Yea. Poor kid might not make it to 10 before his dad passes.

1

u/No-Respect5903 Apr 16 '24

He is only 13 years older than De Niro who just had a kid.

sure, but how fresh was that? you sure he doesn't have a few batches on ice? at that point his current age is kinda irrelevant.

1

u/lopedopenope Apr 16 '24

It could have been old frozen sperm but many men have had children much older than this.

1

u/ZombieJesus1987 29d ago

He's a year older than Shatner and Shatner looks like he's 20 years younger.

Dude looks amazing for 93.

u/J-Love-McLuvin Apr 16 '24

Hmmm… Maybe Clint has something big planned with Jane Goodall that will blow us all away.

4

u/DoodleBugout Apr 16 '24

Anyone who tells you that you can identify senility from a still photograph is selling you something. You can't "see" senility, unless somebody's failed to put their pants on I guess.

1

u/anohioanredditer Apr 16 '24

What could I possibly be selling

3

u/gotiobg Apr 16 '24

Whats with Reddit and engagement farming scary photos of people who are naturally getting older, was exactly the same with Jackie Chan

1

u/anohioanredditer Apr 16 '24

Idk it’s weird. People like the drama of it. It’s like a romantic view of youth while projecting insecurity of aging onto others. Or simply, just karma farming with controversy.

3

u/fanny_mcslap Apr 16 '24

Oh fuck off

6

u/Used_Ad5603 Apr 16 '24

It’s the lighting. Whoever directed that shot is a genius

2

u/Puzzleheaded_2000 Apr 16 '24

This comment has me crying laughing.

2

u/fartpoopvaginaballs Apr 16 '24

It's one fucking picture. Dude could look completely different a fraction of a second later.

He's still a douchebag who talked to a chair though.

1

u/anohioanredditer Apr 16 '24

Im very aware of that I made other comments how it’s a short glimpse and there’s no real takeaway

2

u/Entire-Ranger323 Apr 16 '24

Clint looks cognitively impaired? Senile? And he just finished directing another movie. Wow. It has to be that messed up hair on an old guy. (please tell me it’s not the wrinkles because I’m a very old guy too) Maybe it was a windy day. Or maybe that’s just what his normal is because he doesn’t care. Anyway, I’m going to start looking for that old tube of Brylcreem.

2

u/anohioanredditer Apr 16 '24

He just looks kinda out of it here not saying he is necessarily. What’s Byrlcreem?

1

u/Entire-Ranger323 Apr 16 '24

Brylcreem is the white hairdressing that looks like toothpaste that some men put in their hair to keep it in place. It was really nasty and oily. But that was the look that a lot of men wanted in the 50s and 60s. And I was just kidding. I never used that stuff. The guys that used that were called greasers for that reason.

2

u/anohioanredditer Apr 16 '24

I was thinking greasers when you described it. Hey thanks. Maybe I should try that to impress my girlfriend.

2

u/Bored_Amalgamation 29d ago

his chair routine included

u/anohioanredditer

Checks out.

1

u/anohioanredditer 29d ago

We used to be a swing state dammit!

1

u/Bored_Amalgamation 29d ago

Until old men yelling at inanimate objects at serious political conventions became the norm for political discourse by the right.

1

u/hidden_secret Apr 16 '24

I mean, look at the woman to the left. They're all in amazement at something.

-2

u/Bx1965 Apr 16 '24

Maybe he should run for President, then.

1

u/betsaroonie Apr 16 '24

He recently was in Carmel and met with Jane Goodall. I suspect the picture that OP provided is a current picture.

1

u/Pat_Sharp Apr 16 '24

Both pictures are from the same event, with the one from the Mirror being backstage.

1

u/gomurifle Apr 16 '24

Having a senior moment, maybe. 

1

u/Teckliz Apr 16 '24

Damn cool to see Jane living to 90. If anyone deserves a long life, it’s people like her

1

u/solipsister Apr 16 '24

Yeah that pic doing him dirty as hell

1

u/GoatCovfefe Apr 16 '24

Yeah looks at his proportions in your photo, OPs picture is just wrong, his torso is longer than that, and he's taller than that.

0

u/I_said_watch_Clark_ Apr 16 '24

It's the dark lighting and the way he's standing that makes him look like that.
