Wilford Brimley DEAD

[Ellie]

Another one I thought was already dead.

“Only” 85, but these days best known for having looked 80 when he was actually 50, so whenever any handsome Hollywood actor turns 50 it has to be followed by “now the age Wilford Brimley was in Cocoon”. Only just saw this mentioned last week on social media to compare him to Matthew McConaughey.

I mainly know him from The Thing, which he was brilliant in. I believe he was also in some ads for diabetes medication in the US that became a meme at some point?

A good name for a tube stop.

RIP

Much more deserving of a thread than Alan Parker.

Alan Parker died? I didn't hear about that one
