I think you have to remember too that GGII was released in the late 80s...15 years ago with photos that were likely a bit older. The man is now 64, having survived a critical illness, frankly he just isn't going to look the same. None of us do from our mid-late 40s and then in our mid 60s. My God, it doesn't seem possible that Gord could be this age, does it? We are all such fans and we remember him as a 30- and 40-something guy. Not a mid 60s retiree! I think he looks great for a man of his age and circumstances. I am 47 and I hope I look as good at 64 as he does! But I don't expect that I will look at all like the same guy I am today. It's called aging and it is coming on all too fast!
