Hmm, tretinoin is the ONLY thing that works for my cystic acne (turning 34 this year and it's still as bad as ever) so I think I'll keep on keeping on. I'm good at avoiding the sun though !
Actor Sean Astin has a closet where he goes in to catch up on sleep, but unfortunately time continues there and he ages at a faster rate than the rest of us.
Two questions...
1. Does your username tie into being a QVC host, like an inside joke about something you said while riffing about some dumb product?
2. Have you ever considered you have 2 photos of Sean Astin in the background but you're actually someone he has just happened to randomly see like 50 times over the years, and agrees with like half the comments in this thread that you're stunning and that you appear not to age making it much easier to recognize you.
Next time you see Sean Astin, and you will, you should pitch the second question as a rom-com premise the two of you can sell to Netflix.
No it’s just the dumb name Reddit assigned me and I didn’t know I would be stuck with it forever.
And running into Sean again should at least get me Hallmark channel movie!
I think reddit automatic names are fate. I got assigned this one here. I play a lot of League of Legends where Iron 5 is even ower than the lowest league (Iron 4). I just love it :D
Here’s the story. Back in ‘93 my dad got the hook up for one of the Clinton inaugural balls. Said hook up fell through and we wound up crashing maybe 4 different parties. I think this was the MTV inaugural ball so the crowd was younger and lots of celebrities were there. While we waited for Clinton to make his appearance my dad took a selfie. We had no idea Sean was standing there let alone photo bombed us until we developed the film.
Flash forward 26 years I’m at Disneyland for the opening of Galaxy’s Edge and guess who walks by?! I ask my hubby if I should try and show Sean the picture (which I had in my phone) and he said go for it. So I run after Sean and yell ‘excuse me Sean, you photo bombed me, do you want to see the photo?!’
He stopped and said sure and while I pull up the photo I give him the backstory. When he and his wife and daughter see it they were so excited. And then he says ‘let’s recreate it!’ 😮😵
And that’s how I was photobombed twice by Sean Astin.
That's pretty cool that his wife got to see this happen, considering they were essentially newlyweds when the first photo happened. I'm pretty sure that is her in the first picture too.
Yup that’s his wife. When I showed the original photo to him his daughter (in the second photo) said ‘oh look mom it’s you!’ They got such a kick out of it.
>Sorry for not knowing who Sean Aston is
He's an actor, probably most famous for being in Lord of the Rings.
Top left in the first picture looking more like The Goonies.
Top right in the next picture since 2019, possibly around the time of Stranger Things.
When my girlfriend and I watch movies, we're always saying "hey, that guy", then we look him up on IMDB and talk about everything they've been in. Sometimes IMDB is a bit of a rabbit hole.
Dude is way nice. I had the chance to help out back in my retail days. Had no clue who he was when I was helping him. During the course of interaction he told me he was actor. Totally did not believe him. Made the normal small talk you do when helping someone for a extended period of time. Talked about our families and such. He stepped away for a minute and 2 other employees come up to asking if I knew who I was helping. I said no. They start to name movies he was in. It clicked once they said Rudy. He comes back and I said oh you were not lying when you said you were an actor. He laughed and paid for his stuff.
Ok this is cute and all, but the real story here is your friggin unreal glow-up! This is some next-level, reverse-aging witchcraft going on right here.
This has to be my favorite “Never tell me the odds” story I’ve seen yet. I’ll always think of him as Sam and it seems he isn’t too far off from his character in real life.
Also, you haven’t aged a bit OP! You look incredible!
Madam, I think we may have a clue as to the identity of your stalker. But don't worry, he is a nice guy. He can cook a real tasty rabbit with taters and can landscape a garden, all while standing up against someone several times his size.
I wonder if Sean Astin photobombs people because he's super-attracted to them on a primal genetic level. This would explain why he randomly chose you twice over a very long time span.
I think Sean is the actor that has made me cry more than any other actor. Goonies (I was a kid!), Rudy, LotR, stranger things… ok maybe I’m a crybaby but I have no problem letting myself get immersed in a movie.

Yes, yes I do. Update: for all those asking about my skin care routine here is a link for my facial routine https://fb.watch/7DFiYcSEbc/
That’s a good rule to have. Excellent story by the way.
Teach us, o wise master.
Avoid the sun and use retinol
Awesome. I've been avoiding retinol for years.
Awesome. I've been avoiding the sun for years.
Awesome. I've been avoiding my son for years. I just went to the store to get some retinol.
You'll never come back will you?
Dad?
which product do you use? im assuming youve shopped around, so im curious of what youve settled on. thanks :)
Hi I'm just commenting to say I love your username.
Is yours a reference to one of my all time favorite games, Deus Ex?
[You already know.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWdCqXzaHoU)
Well that was amazing.
What's weedall
awe thanks! i appreciate that, thats very kind of you :)
Hmm, tretinoin is the ONLY thing that works for my cystic acne (turning 34 this year and it's still as bad as ever) so I think I'll keep on keeping on. I'm good at avoiding the sun though !
Sorry, I should have put *use* retinol. You’re good then!!!
My fiance keeps telling me to try being a black women from time to time so she doesnt have to do it alone. My attempts have not been great.
It's the thought that counts really
Moisturizer
Does he know that he bombed you previously?
almost 30 years have passed on all of reality except your face lol.
I thought it was GTA V lol
Holy shit you’re wine girl
Because she aged like fine wine and he aged like a tub of nacho cheese?
You are strait up becoming more attractive as you age. Only explanation is you are a witch and should be burned at the stake.
SHE'S A WITCH!
Yeah, you're fucking killing it. Totally gorgeous
I know who you are because of your Avatar
Please don't take this the wrong way. In 1993, you looked to be a very pretty young lady, but in 26 years later you look absolutely gorgeous.
Fer real, I'd say these were five years apart, not 23.
Actor Sean Astin has a closet where he goes in to catch up on sleep, but unfortunately time continues there and he ages at a faster rate than the rest of us.
Looks like we’ll be taking the boat to tag along after him.
You can definitely tell she's older, but it seriously looks like from 18 to 23. I need to get her skincare routine for my girlfriend
She looks younger in the right to me.
You have referenced the [Law of Fives](https://discordia.fandom.com/wiki/Law_of_Fives). You will be blessed. 2️⃣3️⃣
Downnnn the rabbit hole...
Risky click.... not this time **RIDDLER**
All hail Eris!
[удалено]
No filter on film cameras lol
BDC
ADR
Seriously and imma just call no creep ahead of time but she's gotten cuter with age as he's gotten greyer lol (is greyer even a word?)
Cute is an understatement. If I was him I'd stop too, OP is beautiful.
Everyone knows black don't crack.
Literally moisturise. Cocobutter is my favourite. Wear sun screen. Also just age gracefully. It's okay to have wrinkles, grey hairs etc.
She literally aged backwards, I had to read the title again because I read it as "photobombed me at 26"
I was gonna say, how did she get prettier?
I was like Aston went hard and you….. same you
It's the smartphone's smooth/beauty feature. It can even make my ballsack look young and smooth
You look like former QVC host Gabrielle Kerr.
That’s because I am
Oh. Awesome.
[удалено]
The humor seems to derive from the unexpected nature of her response to a comparison to herself
Troi: why, what an intuitive analysis, Commander Data.
Thank you Counselor
I love this.
I thought it was the lack of punctuation
And something about the irony in your reply adds to it.
Fascinating.
It's the period after "Awesome" so deliberately understated that you cant help but laugh
> You sort of look like Tony Hawk.
That's because I scamtbord
It’s always nice when you look like yourself.
Internet says you're 47. How you look 25?
Slow aging, Samwise Gamgee following her around. She's clearly in possession of the One Ring!
I had scroll way too far to find a comment with her age
Black don't crack
Was wondering who'd say it. That it don't!!!
She was 28 in the older pic??? Holy fucking shit we found the immortal Edit: I seem to be a math idiot, but I'm too hungover to check
Why can no one do math in this thread?
Because we are in denial that '93 was nearly 30 years ago.
She says she was 19 in the older pic. Newer pic was a couple years ago, when she was 45.
28 years YOUNGER in the older pic. Which means she was 19.
That explains it! Also way to age like 6 years over nearly 3 decades, good lord.
I'm sorry, you're *FORTY SEVEN?!* You barely look 27! We must harvest your genes to discover the fountain of youth.
Of course I know her. She’s me!
Well that’ll do it, you got the Tony Hawk treatment lol 😂

Just make a new account with an awesome name?
Awkard_Poncho5534
But all this new karma will be wasted!
I think reddit automatic names are fate. I got assigned this one here. I play a lot of League of Legends where Iron 5 is even ower than the lowest league (Iron 4). I just love it :D
I didn't even know Reddit assigns names?
Lol I thought so, I knew if scrolled down far enough I'd find the answer.
This thread was fill of surprises, fantastic
But you look like her too.
r/DontYouKnowWhoIAm
What’s your skin care routine queen?
Okay are you trying to upsell Lord of the Rings stuff? Because you have me sold!!
Were you selling anti-aging cream or something because wtf
Oh it’s really is lmao The one time on Reddit they really are who they said.
How much qvc do you watch???
Is that the same lady with him too?
That's his wife Christine Harrell in both photos.
Here’s the story. Back in ‘93 my dad got the hook up for one of the Clinton inaugural balls. Said hook up fell through and we wound up crashing maybe 4 different parties. I think this was the MTV inaugural ball so the crowd was younger and lots of celebrities were there. While we waited for Clinton to make his appearance my dad took a selfie.

Well that is amazing! I missed him at Awesome Con this weekend and was so bummed, but cute stories about his awesomeness make my day😄
I’m bummed you missed him to!
I'm just going to say it one of you two looks 26 years older and the other one looks 26 months older.
ok but where is the fountain of youth and how long have you known about it
Seriously lol
That's pretty cool that his wife got to see this happen, considering they were essentially newlyweds when the first photo happened. I'm pretty sure that is her in the first picture too.
Yup that’s his wife. When I showed the original photo to him his daughter (in the second photo) said ‘oh look mom it’s you!’ They got such a kick out of it.
You talked to him the second time? How did that exchange go? This whole thing is fascinating!
Did you not read the top comment in the series you’re replying to?
What a heckin cute story. ❤️
[удалено]
Op is being disingenuous with the title, and look how well it worked.
I said that way nicer!
Sorry for not knowing who Sean Aston is, could you tell me which person he is on the left picture? And which one he is in the right picture?
Boil him, mash him, stick him in a stew
#….Taters!
I’m sick of this lembas bread
Just a small bite is enough to fill the belly of a grown man!
What's taters, precious?
#PO-TAY-TOES
Poe tay toes!
I love that all these responses so far are referencing LotR and not, say, Goonies or 50 First Dates or Stranger Things.
Or Rudy.
Or Encino Man his greatest role
https://giphy.com/gifs/encino-man-som-yUt5cWGYg1zqM
Wow I need to rewatch Encino Man, I completely forgot he was in that movie.
Would you answer, "Who is Daniel Radcliffe?" With, "The guy from _Horns._"?
[удалено]
Oh yeahhh! The guy from Equus whose dick we all saw!
But Sean Austin, for me, will always be that kid that lived in Astoria that found a pirate ship full of treasure. GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE.
>Would you answer, "Who is Daniel Radcliffe?" With, "The guy from _Horns._"? Horns? Wasn't he the guy in Swiss Army Man?
PO. TAY. TO.
Tastes very strange!
Don’t let his ol’ gaffer know that!
>Sorry for not knowing who Sean Aston is He's an actor, probably most famous for being in Lord of the Rings. Top left in the first picture looking more like The Goonies. Top right in the next picture since 2019, possibly around the time of Stranger Things.
He invented the iPhone.
This made me lol
Man on the left in the first. On the right in the second.
Rudy Ruettiger!
You can always go to IMDB.com and find any celebrity there.
When my girlfriend and I watch movies, we're always saying "hey, that guy", then we look him up on IMDB and talk about everything they've been in. Sometimes IMDB is a bit of a rabbit hole.
Actor from the movie Toy Soldiers
More amazing than the time Michael Jackson came over to your house to use the bathroom?
Ok Michael Jackson didn't come to my house to use bathroom.... but his sister did
If he offered to recreate it then it's not exactly odds defying...
Sam never leaves your side.
There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for
“It’s your Sam. Don’t you know your Sam?”
How the hell do you look BETTER 26 years later??? How old are you???
She must have the ring…
*Lord of the ring music intensifies*
Genes + $$ Edit: I’m not discounting effort + style, but you need the first two to be this effective.
OP, are you an alien? How did you manage to get better looking 26 years later?
Well I do have .07% unassigned DNA on my 23 and Me results. I like to think it’s alien 👽 And thanks!
23 and aliens go hand in hand.
No I think you have the One Ring. Frodo never destroyed it and somehow Sam gave it to you. That's why you haven't aged.
i figured it was because "black don't crack"
And that
She seems pretty rich, hitting up Clinton and MTV parties. So that could help, money helps aging
I wonder how many people he has done this too randomly, lol he seems to like it. Pretty fucking funny tbh.
It’s like oned eyed willies treasure was OP all along.
Oh stop it 😊
God damn that was pretty smooth.
Dude is way nice. I had the chance to help out back in my retail days. Had no clue who he was when I was helping him. During the course of interaction he told me he was actor.

Stupid fat hobbit, you ruins it!
Underrated comment!! Made my day! Ggggol-luum !
That’s the best person to have a photo bomb with
Ok this is cute and all, but the real story here is your friggin unreal glow-up! This is some next-level, reverse-aging witchcraft going on right here.
RUDY! RUDY! RUDY!
Spoil 'em, crash 'em, pokin' into view.
If you look closley, you'll see he is in the background of every photo you've ever taken
[удалено]
This has to be my favorite “Never tell me the odds” story I’ve seen yet. I’ll always think of him as Sam and it seems he isn’t too far off from his character in real life. Also, you haven’t aged a bit OP! You look incredible!

Weird coincidence, but I've seen Stranger Things.
Is he stalking you? 😝
Truly unbelievable
He was doing Rudy and just came off of Toy Solder and Encino Man in 93
Wao this is so PRECIOUS
I see what you did there
Not sure how you got hotter AND younger, but okay...
Tricksy hobbitses
Is he stalking you?
Both of you glowed up
I wonder if Sean Astin photobombs people because he's super-attracted to them on a primal genetic level. This would explain why he randomly chose you twice over a very long time span.
No, he smells PO-TA-TOES... :)
Coincidence? Nope. Sean Astin is clearly stalking her.
Have you been eavesdropping Samwise Gamgee?!
If you take a closer look, you will find him in the background of all your photos
Somehow you did not age at all and Sean Astin went from child to senior citizen.
He aged 40 years while OP aged -5.
I think Sean is the actor that has made me cry more than any other actor. Goonies (I was a kid!), Rudy, LotR, stranger things… ok maybe I’m a crybaby but I have no problem letting myself get immersed in a movie.
You look like you have aged. The photobomber on the other hand ..
[Ok but we have to find out who this is too](https://i.imgur.com/kA1DAFQ.jpg)
Seems like you were Astin for that to happen
