Completely and utterly off topic....did we know that Matthews was 62?

[Joe the Revelator]

I thought he was much MUCH younger than that.

[Bread and Circus]

1. Are you fucking kidding me? I thought he was in his early 50's

[Joe the Revelator]

6. I'm going by wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Matthews


Born Christopher Matthews
December 17, 1945 (1945-12-17) (age 62)
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

[rebel with a cause]

27. He is exactly one day older than I am.

I'll have to look at him again. My daughter always says I think I look older than I do, but I don't know. Well, my sister says that also, but I think they are only being nice. ;)

Maybe he has had an easy life. :shrug:

Nah, looking at him, he looks about the same age as I do.

[NotThisTime]

31. NO Way! I thought he was in his early 50's.... wow.. that's shocking actually

[Jennicut]

2. Yup, Tweety looks great for his age, McLiar not so much.

[HughMoran]

3. No fucking way!

That can't be true.

[calmblueocean]

4. I had that same reaction when I found out a long time ago. Dude has a lot of energy for 62. n/t

[valerief]

5. Well, I'm well into middle age and to me Matthews looks 62. That's what 62 looks like. nt

[DefenseLawyer]

7. Wouldn't have guessed that.

He's the Jim Mora of newscasters.

[MichDem10]

8. No shit? I thought he was 52 ish!

[Captiosus]

9. Wow...

I wouldn't have put him beyond 55.

He must really take care of himself.

[Joe the Revelator]

17. He even has diabetes

I'm in awe.

[Jennicut]

34. Yup, so do I and he works all these crazy hours. Hope he takes care of himself.

[chatnoir]

62?? No way, I thought he was early 50s.

He's only 9 yrs younger than McSame, wow. He looks much younger.

[Blue_In_AK]

10. Hey, I'm going to be 62

next week and I've still got a third of my life left. Don't write us "seniors" (God, how I hate that term) off.

[Joe the Revelator]

19. It has nothing to do with his age per say....just his looks

[rebel with a cause]

28. embrace it.

Senior moments gives us an excuse to make errors. Senior discount saves us money. And we can always be flattered when someone asks us if we are sure we're old enough to get the Senior discount. ;)

Also we can celebrate that we have lived long enough to be Seniors.

[Blue_In_AK]

33. Oh, I'm very happy about it.

So far, this has been the easiest part of my heretofore tumultuous life. If past experience is any indicator, it should only get better. :)

[parasim]

29. If you don't like the term, why use it?

I'm just a youngster at 50, but I refuse to use terms that society foists upon us.

You're as old as you feel. Who needs labels?

[JBoris]

11. He'll be 63 in Dec.

Born Dec 17 1945

[FrenchieCat]

12. Yeah. He looks 62 to me!

[jillan]

13. That is surprising. I never would have guessed it.

[ailsagirl]

14. Certainly wouldn't have known it

[blonndee]

15. Now that you mention it, I kind of remember that, but I always thought of him as early/mid-50s.

Not that 62 is that old, but he has always seemed younger to me in looks and demeanor.

[vanderBeth]

16. He looks nice for his age...

unlike McCain.

[PresidentObama]

18. I thought late 40's, early 50's. Wow, surprising.

[CreekDog]

20. i knew. i used to read his column in the SF Examiner almost 20 years ago

:hi:

[JenniferJuniper]

21. Tweets looks great for his age, I'll give him that.

[rebel with a cause]

32. It's the make up people.

Wait till you see him without it. :rofl:

[Lugnut]

22. I'm 63.

I knew he was close to my age but I didn't know how close.

[givemebackmycountry]

23. Well shit....

I'll give him his props.
Chris is like that one crazy friend you have.
You love him, but every now and then you just want to hit him with a baseball bat.
And then have a beer with him.

Chris is 62?

I'm 53, and I'm ready to pass out, and he's doing live TV.
Of course, he hasn't had 8 Sierra Nevada Pale Ales either.

[KathieG]

24. Wow...he looks good

[MissMarple]

25. You are kidding? He is three years older than I am.

I thought he was much older than that. Those TV studio lights must be very bad for the skin.

[JI7]

26. sounds about right, on the other hand McCain is ONLY 73 ?

i thought he was 87

[TooRaLoo]

30. Wow, never woudl have guessed! nt
