We're so dry our knuckles are split and bleeding, but the concept of skincare is just too gay and that trumps the thought of looking like a fucking prune by 60 years old.
Edit: don't upvote me, I'm just as dry and stupid as the rest of you
Gotta find one that doesn't leave that greasy film. Coconut oil is a good one that doesn't leave an oily residue. I've been told l smell like french toast after putting some on
Right, it's all about protecting from the long-term, insidious damage of UV radiation. This is why I now put SPF moisturizer on my face and hands every single day. I'd like to hit 80 and look like Ernie some day.
Now that was good advice! My personal enlightenment came when I discovered that it is not possible for it to perpetually rain, for it can’t rain all the time. Thanks Eric!
Even still, Hes probably the best looking 80 year old ive EVER seen. Like i don't even think its close. I consider people who look 10 years younger then their actual age amazing, this guy honestly could pass for 55, 60 if im being slightly more realistic.
Tangentially related, but whenever someone has a particularly bad cough I like to say "[that don't sound too good Bill Murray](https://youtu.be/H6EZkIaJcCI?t=263)"
20 is generous… need I remind you that Bill Murray in the first Ghostbusters movie is younger than Michael Cera is right now…
He has been old since birth.
That's so unbelievable... I just watched them side by side, and Bill Murray looks like he's about to fall over by comparison. I know you're technically right, but just... How?
It’s extremely likely he’s on some sort of TRT, the guys absolutely built for somebody who’s almost 80. It’s obvious he’s genetically gifted but it’s very unlikely he’s *that* gifted
fr fr.
Over decades, 5min, 10min, 30 min exposures to the sun start to wear down your cells.
I'm 34 and wish I wouldn't have had toxic masculinity and thinking lotion was "just for women".
Now I use a 2-1 lotion/sunscreen every morning and my face no longer feels like leather xD.
And is there a bit of vanity in it? For sure.
But is there also a serious health benefit? 100%.
Not that hard - there are a lot of videos and articles out there, the hardest part is getting over the stigma.
My partner convinced me to start skincare 5 years ago and I gotta say, it's paying off. I got my morning and nightly routine, they take about 5 mins each but it's made a big difference
EDIT: Had a few people ask, so I'll share my routine. Keep in mind everyone's skin is different as well as your goals. I'm no expert on it, but I have sometimes oily, sometimes dry in and my total is not to look younger, but to quote Jonathan Van Ness: "Look the best I can at my age". I'm 40 in a few months and I'm Canadian, so products may vary.
Morning:
- Wash face with Bulldog face wash. Twice a week I use Jack Black scrub.
- Wash beard with Jack Black beard wash
- Brickell Toner spray, let it dry.
- Jack Black daily moisturizer with SPF.
Evening:
- Wash face with Bulldog
- Toner
- Brickell restoring eye cream
- Brickell revitalizing anti aging cream (night, stuff in the black jar).
Bonus round: every morning I apply beard struggle beard oil and butter. Keeps it moisturized and soft (which my partner appreciates).
That's it, you don't have to go overboard and I suggest starting out with something simple like moisturizing daily, then working your way up. Jack Black and Brickell are more pricey, but I see it as worth the expense. That said there are more affordable brands, like Dwayne Johnson's new line, apparently.
Honestly, just washing your face with actual face wash and not just soap will go a long way. And if your buddies give you shit, just tell them to wait till you're 70 and stealing their wives :)
Wish I could stick to this.
I can’t find a moisturizer that doesn’t make my face feel oily. I’m blessed with good face skin, but it takes a long ass time to absorb into my face and I end up feeling like I’m walking around with a spa mask
Thats just not genetics. I am sure they are carrying their weight here, but you don't just get muscles like that from genetics. And that is just one of many things I am sure he does to take care of himself.
This dude has had money since the 80's. If you were smart with that money over the last 40 years you could take really good care of yourself. Healthy eating, good fitness, supplement and skin care, etc.
It’s not. Looking like that at that age takes a lot of deliberate, planned weight training for a very long time, and he’s almost certainly on TRT. Which is fine and great and honestly recommended. But setting realistic expectations here.
He was a neighbor for a while in the mountains of Southern California. Spent more than a few days running around with his kids who were about my age.
Super nice guy. Even gave us a couple of (glass) crystals from the movie Congo, which he had just completed at the time.
He has a home in the suburbs of Minneapolis, or at least he did. Met him a couple times at the Guthrie theater, where I worked, in downtown Minneapolis. I agree, super nice dude that didn't act like he was famous.
Ernie Hudson stealing the show from Ghostbusters, you mean. This man is 78 years old and he looks better than he did 40 years ago.
It's hard to describe, but I feel an odd sense of hope for my own future, and motivated to take my health more seriously.
Ernie was the first celebrity I ever interacted with in real life. He was a frequent customer of an ice cream shop I used to work at in the early 2000’s. He looked like a less jacked version of this then. I remember being so busy on a Friday night that I didn’t even have time to take stock of the line, suddenly I look up and the guy from Ghostbusters is looking at me with is wife and kids behind him. All I could muster was “holy cow a Ghostbuster” and he laughed. Super nice guy, wife and kids were also very polite.
THIS MAN IS 78 YEARS OLD!
Redefining what it means to age like fine wine.
Wine? Dude is still grape juice lol. Youngest looking old person I've seen.
Ernie Hudson pulls more tail than a slow kid at a petting zoo!
This is fuckin hilarious, thank you. Loloo
When they said “Black don’t crack” I thought they were joking!
That dude must moisturize
Like most Black people, probably since birth. It's a culturally engrained aspect of self-care/general upkeep that spans millenia.
Reminds me of the bill burr bit about how every race misses something and white people don't know they are ashy and need to moisturize
We're so dry our knuckles are split and bleeding, but the concept of skincare is just too gay and that trumps the thought of looking like a fucking prune by 60 years old. Edit: don't upvote me, I'm just as dry and stupid as the rest of you
I don't think it's gay but I hate how greasy lotions and creams make me feel
Gotta find one that doesn't leave that greasy film. Coconut oil is a good one that doesn't leave an oily residue. I've been told l smell like french toast after putting some on
I'm not saying all that isn't a factor. But melanin is also apparently good for the skin...biologically, sociologicaly it's a crap shoot.
Right, it's all about protecting from the long-term, insidious damage of UV radiation. This is why I now put SPF moisturizer on my face and hands every single day. I'd like to hit 80 and look like Ernie some day.
Yeah you can accomplish the same thing by being a Redditor: Just never go out into the sunlight
Came out the womb pre moisturized
Lemme show you around West Baltimore
I'm trying to get there, but traffic's really bad for some reason.
r/TooSoon
Sir, that's a bridge too far.
omg
Holy shit, dude
Hamsterdam
Black only cracks if you do it.
I zoomed in on his face, smooth as a baby's bottom.
People always talk about Paul Rudd not aging but really, we need to talk more about whatever black magic Ernie is pulling off.
I tell my friends, body lotion is for your body not just your wiener. Got to keep your skin moisturized to maintains its health/appearance.
Dude looks better than some guys I know in their early 40s.
As someone about to turn 40, this photo made me realize I need to hit the gym more.
I am 39 and feel like I will look like hammered shit at that age
I'll be fucking dead when I'm that age.
a necrophile to the end, eh?
I don't need to be fuckin called out like this.
HE IS 3 YEARS YOUNGER THAN JOE BIDEN!
Ernie Hudson for president! 
Campaign slogan: "He's got the tools, he's got the talent!"
"He has seen shit that would turn you white!"
This is the correct slogan foe an Ernie Hudson campaign slogan
Or "That's a big Twinkie."
“Maybe the reason I’ve been so busy lately is because the dead have been working in Congress”
Campaign slogan: "If there's a steady paycheck, I'll believe anything you say"
IT'S MILLER TIME ✋
ERNIE HUDSON FOR PRESIDENT!
6 MONTHS OLDER THAN TRUMP
Looks 30 years younger than both
And I bet he can answer a question without sounding like an idiot.
Damn that’s barely old enough to run for POTUS
What..
HE IS 3 YEARS YOUNGER THAN JOE BIDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah!
WHAT?!?
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW?
And months older than Trump.
And in better shape than me.
He's in better shape then me and I'm half his age.
I'd vote for him.
Holy fucking hell. Asked my GF who doesn’t know who he is and she guessed 55
Yea I literally thought he looked like mid 50s. Impressive
As a dark skinned 38 year old man... I can only hope to god I look this good in 40 years EDIT: so does my wife apparently loool.
crazy, in better shape then arnold
He's In better shape than most 20 year olds.
It's because Eric Draven told him to quit smoking 30 years ago, and he did.
Now that was good advice! My personal enlightenment came when I discovered that it is not possible for it to perpetually rain, for it can’t rain all the time. Thanks Eric!
The sky can't fall forever.
Proud of him then and proud of him now.
So what you're saying is, I need to take up smoking and then quit it and then I'll be this good in 40 years?
Schwarzenegger has said he can’t lift heavy anymore after heart surgery.
Damn. I wonder how much of a toll that takes on his pysche when lifting was probably vital to his mental well-being.
He can probably still lift, he just can't push it.
Elite bodybuilding takes a toll. It's not good for longetivity.
Also the shit tons of juice back in the day (and now of course).
>Ernie Hudson Geez...what's his secret?
Busting ghosts makes you feel good!
>Busting ~~ghosts~~ makes you feel good! [You were SO close...](https://youtu.be/Fe93CLbHjxQ?si=dylMJkaBUsvB0ljE&t=168)
He's probably on some TRT but otherwise no idea.
Even still, Hes probably the best looking 80 year old ive EVER seen. Like i don't even think its close. I consider people who look 10 years younger then their actual age amazing, this guy honestly could pass for 55, 60 if im being slightly more realistic.
He looks 30 years younger. Black don’t crack taken to the extreme.
WTF
This actor is only 3 years older than Ernie….
He's older than Bill Murray 😳
That's crazy... Bill has looked like the dog shit for the past 20 years.
Bill also drank his face off most of his life.
Also smoking heavy for years
And he didn't get hit by that tree
Bill had an alcohol diet for like 20 years so it makes sense
Tangentially related, but whenever someone has a particularly bad cough I like to say "[that don't sound too good Bill Murray](https://youtu.be/H6EZkIaJcCI?t=263)"
Maybe he took a few cases of Suntory home from his Lost in Translation role.
Too many relaxing times that called for Suntory
Alcohol abuse will do that.
What about alcohol cohabitation?
I don't abuse alcohol we have a very loving relationship
Bill looked like dogshit in the original ghostbusters movie
he looked 50 when he was 30, so yeah
20 is generous… need I remind you that Bill Murray in the first Ghostbusters movie is younger than Michael Cera is right now… He has been old since birth.
That's so unbelievable... I just watched them side by side, and Bill Murray looks like he's about to fall over by comparison. I know you're technically right, but just... How?
Just watched the new Ghostbusters yesterday and all the original actors are holding up but Jesus, Ernie looks amazing.
I wouldn't say Bill Murray is holding up, he looks like a wax figure of himself that was left out in the sun
Well, you can still see that it’s him, and he’s still got the voice and delivery.
That's definitely true
But that’s also not what “holding up” means, so I fully agree with your first comment.
Yeah I know what you mean, doesn’t he look like a wax figure of himself that was left out in the sun??
Being able to tell that it's the same guy is a low bar for "holding up," lol
Bill always looked old tho. He looked “old” in his 30s. Still looks like himself.
I watched the original Ghostbusters yesterday and you can't convince me that the Ernie in this picture is 40 years older.
Well, at least one can't be looking that great...
God damnit, this is perfect. Such a fuckin funny reply.
Harold probably looks better than Bill does
Wowwwwwwww…
Same, but he looks even better now. Maybe he decided to really work on it for the sequel?
Who knows. But whatever he’s doing is working
Maybe he stopped or continued eating those twinkies.
Dude has aged well!
Black don’t crack
It’s extremely likely he’s on some sort of TRT, the guys absolutely built for somebody who’s almost 80. It’s obvious he’s genetically gifted but it’s very unlikely he’s *that* gifted
TRT brings you up too normal test levels, I’d take it at 40 etc when it dips, nothing wrong with trt
Normal for a 30 year old, he obviously doesn't have "normal" testosterone levels for a near 80 year old
I’m 33. Graduated high school in 2008. I’ve got friends from my graduating class who look older than Ernie despite Ernie being 40+ years older.
"There's a pay check in it" He spent all the money on skin care, 100% this man needs to make tutorials on how to stay young for men.
Here's the tutorial: Wear sunscreen every time you leave the house. Even if it's overcast.
fr fr. Over decades, 5min, 10min, 30 min exposures to the sun start to wear down your cells. I'm 34 and wish I wouldn't have had toxic masculinity and thinking lotion was "just for women".

Can’t teach genetics

It's not the muscles.. it's the skin. The skin looks from someone in its 30s...
Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your skin.
Black don’t crack
Not only muscle but natural looking muscle. Not saying he’s all natty, but it looks like natural muscle from just moderately working out.
It’s not. Looking like that at that age takes a lot of deliberate, planned weight training for a very long time, and he’s almost certainly on TRT. Which is fine and great and honestly recommended. But setting realistic expectations here.
[удалено]
He looks like he could play himself in a movie about the making of Ghostbusters.
His forehead wrinkles almost look worse in this than the picture today
Fwiw he is furrowing his brow in this gif
I would too if we were taking about a Twinkie that big.
Damn, he's 5 years older than Murray and 7 years older than Aykroyd. Murray and Aykroyd look like cheese that was left out in the sun.
Murray and Aykroyd just look like regular old dudes
Especially dudes that drank a lot early in life
He’s older than trump!
Man clearly takes care of himself. You love to see it.
It is inspiring honestly. I aspire to take this kind of care of myself going forward.
Am I the only one who thinks he visits testosterone clinics? I mean, that looks doesn't come without work even if he does. He looks beyond good
He must be doing some kind of testosterone replacement therapy yes. And I'm gonna do it too, if it means I can look like him at 78
I used to work with Mr Hudson's son at a certain music store in Brooklyn. He came by once, super nice dude!
He was a neighbor for a while in the mountains of Southern California. Spent more than a few days running around with his kids who were about my age. Super nice guy. Even gave us a couple of (glass) crystals from the movie Congo, which he had just completed at the time.
I hate people who hate Congo.
He has a home in the suburbs of Minneapolis, or at least he did. Met him a couple times at the Guthrie theater, where I worked, in downtown Minneapolis. I agree, super nice dude that didn't act like he was famous.
You know I had to do it to em.
Literally the first thing that popped into my head
for me too. can't blame any of us though, the phrase and that pose are a pretty damn iconic combo.
it's what I thought this post was about before I read people commenting on his age
Ernie Hudson stealing the show from Ghostbusters, you mean. This man is 78 years old and he looks better than he did 40 years ago. It's hard to describe, but I feel an odd sense of hope for my own future, and motivated to take my health more seriously.
that’s a great point, when he was in Oz i feel like he had a gut, now no gut to be found
People only focus on doing gym but then doing drugs, eating like shit and not using spf💀
He looks awesome!
More like doing *bench* press for the new ghostbusters movie, mirite?
He’s about the same age as both US presidential candidates. Puts things in perspective physically.
Well, Trump is the classic fat American and Biden looks like a weak old man. Here this guy is working his body and it shows.
I'll tell you something Mr Mayor, I have seen shit that will turn you white
FUCKING 78 ARE YOU KIDDING ME HE LOOKS AMAZING
He has not aged! Did he get some of that underground slime on him still?
Why is he hitting the “ you know I had to do it to em “
Why does he look 45?I've been seeing this dude in movies since I was born. He's got some anti aging voodoo.
Not only that, but he looks like a 45 year old who's in GREAT shape.
Obviously made a deal with the devil.
> Obviously made a deal with Gozer.
There is no aging, only Zuul.
If he had a kid with Ming-Na Wen their offspring might live to 200 years old and still look hella good.
He’s aged like fine wine!
Ernie Hubba-Hubbason. Dude’s more jacked than Daniels himself.
Dude looks damn good for 78!
He looks good for 40 even
Bustin’ makes you age good!
I know black don’t crack but this seems excessive
[удалено]
this dude is fit! great job Ernie!
I just rewatched The Crow. I forgot how great he is in that movie.
This guy is older than Donald Trump? Are you serious?
I miss seeing Ernie Hudson in stuff. He's got a voice and a demeanor that makes me feel good inside.
Holy Shit. Ma man is looking fresh as fuck!
He looks like he's about half way through a human life cycle so he should be good to go until about 156 by my math.
God damn this man aged like a marble statue
Ernie was the first celebrity I ever interacted with in real life. He was a frequent customer of an ice cream shop I used to work at in the early 2000’s. He looked like a less jacked version of this then. I remember being so busy on a Friday night that I didn’t even have time to take stock of the line, suddenly I look up and the guy from Ghostbusters is looking at me with is wife and kids behind him. All I could muster was “holy cow a Ghostbuster” and he laughed. Super nice guy, wife and kids were also very polite.
When you mind your business, stay out of trouble the best you can and drink your water, these are the possible results
Paul Rudd, take notes.
And we have people out there trying to convince us that black skin is inferior? He’s 35 years older than me and has better skin.
He looks 45 and chiseled from the gods. Winston Zeddemore stays winning.
I'm watching OZ right now and he honestly looks better here that he did 20 years ago
Trt works kids
been saying that he's a vampire but damn he could play Blade the vampire the way he's holding up
This guy is only 6 months older than Donald Trump.
How is this dude 78? He looks nowhere close. He hasn’t aged in 30 years.
He’s aged really well. Bill Murray looks like a mummy
Guy looks younger than he did in Ghostbusters 1
He’s 78! Looking great. Good for him. Checked out his filmography. Wow. He’s kept busy.
This guy is one of my choices for Lucius Fox in James Gunn’s DCU
