Reminds me of an old Hollywood story.

Joe was an actor. When he was 12 he could still play six year olds; when he was 20 he could play twelve; he was still playing teens and college kids well into his 40s. At sixty he could still play romantic leads with women a third his actual age.

When he was 75 the Academy awarded him a Lifetime Achievement award. He came out to thunderous applause.

He walked up to the podium and said, "None of you is clapping because I'm a great actor. You're all happy that I finally look my age!"
