Photo Blind Item 36

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] This actor tried to go undetected as he was spotted walking through the airport one night last week.

Given that he frequently tries to play youngerand physically active characters, it was a bit surprising to see him looking so much older and so dour.

Can you guess the identity of our mystery man without cheating?

Actor:

[Optional] How old does he look in this photo?

SOLVED!

Actor: Will Ferrell

Comic actor Will Ferrell was recently photographed walking through the airport with the youngest of his three young sons.

Ferrell is only 51 years old, but with the grey hair and the beard, many of you mistook the funny man for someone in his 60s or 70s, like Harrison Ford or David Letterman.

Ferrell’s next film is Holmes & Watson, which hits the theaters this December. He costars withe John C. Reilly.

There was a crazy variety of guesses for this one. It’s all good!

In fact, congratulations to SaulGoode for being first with the correct guess!

    When do we get the reveal on this one because it has been driving me crazy trying to figure it out! Every time I look at the pic the face seems familiar but then I just can’t quite figure it out!

    The little mark on his cheek is Clooney’s. He had the facial hair while hanging out with Harry and family.

    Ok, getting serious now & I am FULLY on the Antonio Banderas train/tren.

    Oh, and he looks about 60 here. A very haaandsome 60.

    Will Ferrell…definitely!
    (Note: While being VERY sick with strep I don’t believe I cheated as I spent a good amount of time researching actors with a similar likeness to the one in this photo.)

    This blind was hard as WF looks slimmer in addition to looking older than his 51 yrs, although to me he always looks at least 55. Here he looks like he could be pushing 70 (at the most though). I don’t know why he looks so dour…tired & wants to be left alone, maybe? Hopefully he’s alright.

    All I see is John Malkovich, although the clues don’t fit. Now I can’t wait to see who resembles him (to me)

    I think it is Jean Claude Van Damme. I would not have gotten the “dour” clue, but it for sure looks like him. His cheekbones, build, hair- you can tell it is curly. Van Damme always tamed his.
    He is 57, and looking his age. Which is not a bad thing. You can tell he is still very fit.

    Antonio Banderas?

    Not sure he likes to play ‘younger’ characters per se but he does a lot of action stuff. And he can transform well.

    Dour=a location in Belgium=Jean-Claude Van Damme? Optional…the guy in this pic looks to be in his late 60s to me.

  59. KCeagle says

    George Clooney ?

    Now that’s a disguise.. lol. He does look like the cranky old guy you don’t want to be sitting next to on long flights.Talk about Cinderfella.

    Is it Will Ferrell? It doesn’t look a thing like him but “frequently tries to play younger and physically active characters” made me think of him.

    Old! Like….David Letterman old ;P

      Oooh, you could be right! Guy in the photo has rather sensual lips and wavy hair, like Banderas. Nose looks similar too.

    • CSLear says

      Banderas is quite pale lately (as Picasso), like many older actors avoiding further sun damage.

      Compare a beardless photo from about a year and a half ago, especially the set of the mouth at rest, the labial folds, and the proportions of the chin and jawline.

    I’m going to guess George Clooney. His obnoxious wife must be draining the life out of him. Plus, he’s way too old to be chasing after babies. He looks about 70 here.

  88. danneka says

    guessing mel gibson or harrison ford but they are older now anyway so not sure.

    he looks 60-70 something.
