The mildly interesting people who're the same age thread

[1974ddr]

One down, one still going, but both Giancarlo Giannini and the late Jerry Garcia were born on this day eighty years ago.

[3 Colours Red]

Coolio and Mark Wright (y'know, the ex-Derby and Liverpool defender, not the TOWIE non-entity) are both 59 today.

[1974ddr]

What's a TOWIE?

[ursus arctos]

The Only Way is Essex cast member, presumably

[3 Colours Red]

The bear knows all.

[Gangster Octopus]

Tony "Baldrick" Robinson and Jimmy "MacArthur Park" Webb are both 76 today.

[Gangster Octopus]

Nelson Piquet and Guillermo Vilas are both 70 today, whereas Robert De Niro and John Humphrys are both 79...

[Gangster Octopus]

Oh, and I nearly missed Belinda Carlisle and Kirk Stevens 64th birthday...

[Satchmo Distel]

A toss-up as to which did the most cocaine.

If I last more than a week after my next birthday, I'll have lived longer than Bill Werbeniuk, who was summoned by the Grim Reaper at 56 years 6 days.

[3 Colours Red]

Oh, and I nearly missed Belinda Carlisle and Kirk Stevens 64th birthday...

Also Thierry Henry and Claire from Steps were both 45 yesterday.

[Gangster Octopus]

Moe Tucker and the Duke of Gloucester (who he) are currently sharing their 78th birthdays.

[Jah Womble]

If I last more than a week after my next birthday, I'll have lived longer than Bill Werbeniuk, who was summoned by the Grim Reaper at 56 years 6 days.

Happy to announce that my current break is already better than his.

[jwdd27]

I've recently passed Errol Flynn, and now have Steve McQueen and Michael Jackson in my sights

Michael Jackson would have shared his 64th birthday with Lenny Henry in two days' time.

[Satchmo Distel]

Lenny's full first name is Lenworth, which might be a unique one for a celeb AFAIK.

I'm fewer than 6 months away from catching Lincoln and Beethoven, although the latter only has his baptism date recorded not birth date. Hard to say which of those is the most famous person to die at 56 (depends where you live; Lincoln wins in the US but not elsewhere would be my guess). 12 months will get me past Warren Zevon and Linda McCartney. And Steve Jobs.

[Gangster Octopus]

Two British sporting also-rans were 68 yesterday: John Lloyd and Derek Warwick.

[Satchmo Distel]

They both had silver linings: Lloyd marrying Chris Evert and Warwick winning Le Mans.

[Gangster Octopus]

Actually didn't John Lloyd win a Grand Slam double?

[Satchmo Distel]

Three mixed doubles with Wendy Turnbull. Also runner up in singles at 1977 Australian but that was when a lot of big names skipped it.

[Gangster Octopus]

Roger Dean of off Yes album covers and the great Clive Lloyd are both 78 today.

[elguapo4]

Different styles of football, as Ruud Gullit and Tony Cascarino both turn 60 today.

[Gangster Octopus]

Moby and Assad the Syrian killer are both 57 today.

[Big Boobs and FIRE!]

Perhaps the geographically closest on this day in 1959 with the arrival of David Seaman (Rotherham) and Jarvis Cocker (Sheffield).

[Gangster Octopus]

I thought that Seaman was younger than that.

[Satchmo Distel]

Seaman was 1963, so maybe bb&F has confused aged 59 with the year?

[Gangster Octopus]

Yeah, I was just coming on here to mention that. Both are 59 today, born in 1963.
