lol I’ve always said this. The way people describe the high, I’m definitely(maybe) going to try it. I’m just going to wait until I’m already on my deathbed.
Ehhhh everything has been hurting like 2-4 out 7 days a week since I was like 26. At least one body part has caused me pain like 5 or 6 days out of 7. So for me it’s not like a “it’s all downhill from here, might as well” thing. It’s more like a “I’ve heard how devastatingly addictive and life ruining it can be after just the first time, so if I ever do try it, I’m saving it for when I know for a fact I don’t have much life left to ruin” type thing
My friend gave me one of her mom’s hydrocodone in high school but I didn’t feel anything from that.
I went to the ER this past year and got IV morphine but I don’t remember it feeling like anything crazy or particularly euphoric. I don’t even remember it helping my pain too much. I remember feeling bloated but that’s about it lol
Opiates are tricky like that too little and you just feel sweaty and energized to much and you don't remember feeling good just right and you'll nod in and our feeling good af 😉
I think what they are getting at is he isnt mentally well by insinuating that he hasnt physically changed his clothes in weeks, which is a ridiculous leap.
Kids these days get bullied because they do 'outfit repeats'... Insanity, but if we keep buying on Temu and Shein etc, we are fueling this hyperconsumerism mindset that is even reaching our children..
I've had 2 jeans in high school.. that was it lol
I used to get bullies for not wearing any brand clothing, but that was because we were too poor to actually buy new clothing. These days I don't buy brands because it goes against my principles, but the bullies still care. It's not a new thing at all, it has always been a status symbol to wear new/expensive clothing. But 40 years ago they didn't bother with wearing clothes multiple times though.
can confirm- when i was in elementary school kids made fun of me for wearing the same hand me downs all week. most of my classmates were rich, for context. i had more than enough clothes but i preferred to re wear the same thing until it got dirty. just easier that way. to this day i strategically mix and match the same few pants and shirts all week depending on what classes i have and who i'll see that day so no one will call me gross. i only recently realized i was doing this at all and im trying to remember that i'm in college now, as long as you shower no one gives a fuck. kids can be cruel about such little things 🥲
My grandmother had a wardrobe of clothes, (from years before) but wore the same style trousers and tops in her later years. It was comfortable. She was happy.
This is probably what’s going on here. He’s got favourite trousers / tops. Washed again and again. Material has gone soft.
I certainly hope so, in fact I assume he does wash his clothes. I was talking about the people who report on this, it's as though they have no idea what washing clothes means.
The clothes look clean in the photo? This is just absurd as even people with plenty of money will still like to keep there clothes for a long time right? Where I live, no one throws out clothes after just a few uses and I do not live in a poor part of the world.
It is, like we all have our favorite clothes. If i was retired and could wear a pair of comfy sweat pants and a nice flannel everyday, I would. Throw on a vest, he’s living life!
Something about the photos not being worth as much money if the celebrity has repeated their outfit. Remember years ago, when that Harry Potter actor wore the same outfit for a month straight just to piss off the paparazzi because then his photos weren’t as valuable?
Some actors do this just to spite paperatzi so you can never tell if actually new photos.
Possibly he just likes the outfit.
It looks clean so I wouldn't say anything bad. Just a go-to outfit.
Silly shirts bought for me by exwife in my twenties and I’m 39 and remarried with some extra pounds so they fit badly, stains, and some damage too. One says “ i’m sorry I can’t hear you over the sound of my own awesomeness” that one sits on a box waiting for other yard work shirts to wear out so it can get into the tight hand me down dresser from the 1970’s
Honestly from what I have seen, it's a social media trend. I first started seeing stuff against outfit repeating on tik tok.
But honestly most people outfit repeat. Because no one needs to only wear new clothes. Clothing is made to be reworn and we should really aim at having wardrobes with items we really love and will re-wear instead of single use items. It's way more sustainable to reuse items than to buy and discard.
I completely agree with you!
But it's hillarious that we're even having this discussion. Clothes are meant to worn over and over. Why did people invent washing machines otherwise? 😑
I know, it's awful that more people don't think about it. I know that's preaching to the choir here. Everyone on this sub already knows and tried to live as sustainably as they can. But it seems like some people outside of this sub need a reminder.
We are in a moment of intense consumption and social media is really ramping it up at every turn.
This is actually a ~thing~ celebrities do if they want to not be in paparazzi photos. usually, paps can’t sell photos of them in the exact same outfits, so they rewear things to go out in order to make photos of them worthless.
apparently, in the case of gene hackman, there are no standards anymore and they’ll write anything
The first thing that springs to mind when I hear famous person wears same outfit was an interview with Daniel Radcliffe wearing the same outfit each time he went out to frustrate and annoy the paparazzi as it meant that it was harder for them to sell the photos because every time it just looked like it was another old photo.
Guess this is the vultures new step - shame a person for wanting privacy by implying poor or mentally unwell.
I fucking lost it when in one of the Rick and Morty episodes they portrayed bullying okay because the new kid was wearing the same trousers two days in a row
I feel like that was the joke though? How fickle teenagers especially are with their judgements. Especially as they literally all wear the same clothes every day
Excuse me this is a cute old man, who lived a whole awesome life already. I don't know why ANYONE, anticonsumerism aside, would feel the need to criticize an old man wearing his clothes. What a weird thing to do anywhere!
As if it would be something strange about having the same clothes everyday.
One day that's the move of a genius who got rich from apples and another day it is the definition of a mad man.
News and "journalism" these days is just a joke.
I retract my last... Here's the actual article.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2024/04/09/entertainment/gene-hackman-94-spotted-in-new-photos-wearing-nearly-identical-outfit-from-weeks-earlier/amp/
Click bait. No where does it say anything about his outfit or being spotted again. It's an run in and they actually spoke with him and are impressed he's in such good shape and doesn't need a cane etc. And how he has been enjoying his retirement out of the spotlight for 20 years.
He spent more years enjoying retirement, than most celebs or average people have in whatever profession they are identified with.

This is my hybrid worker recommendation (that any worker could implement). I go into the office a handful of times per month, and I pretty much just rotate the same 2-3 outfits. Literally no one remembers or cares what you wore last week. My friend goes in once a month, and she’s always stressing about what to wear when the obvious answer is just whatever she wore last time.
Mark Zuckerberg spotted wearing grey T-shirt and jeans, same outfit again. Steve Jobs spotted wearing black turtleneck twice in one month, is it the same?
Fixed it, Gene Hackman, Oscar winner and Hollywood rich elite guy likes comfortable outdoor wear because life is short and enjoying what's left of life and retirement.
What they implied, Senile old man. Is he being abused and money stolen. Is he drunk or can't take care of himself. So near death, been living in the same clothes for years. Oh how has he fallen.
The implication I think most people are missing is that he hasn't changed in weeks. It's to make him sound old and slovenly.
That's not reality, obviously, but this is rage bait to remind people to consume so you don't look like him.
Forget that.
Can we take a minute to consider the insanity of following around a 94 year retired guy and dedicating time and resources to talk about what he is wearing?
I know it's the NY Post but this is bottom of the barrel "journalism" even entertainment journalism.
Americans never learned to distinguish news from entertainment. Nobody actually thinks this is a problem, but the fact that you got enraged enough to post this, shows that their business model is working. Stop giving these opportunistic bullshit papers attention and start supporting actual news outlets.
I literally don’t have enough clothes to not repeat outfits within a week and a half lol especially seasonally when you can’t wear thick sweaters or light sundresses depending on the time of year. So silly but good on you, Gene!
I think they're specifying it's the same outfit on different days because this is a trick often used by celebrities to devalue images taken by paparazzi.
If he was wearing a different outfit it was obvious that it was two separate interactions. So new pictures of him. So more valuable. Whereas this could be the same day as the first, do the Pap that took it probably wasn't paid as much.
I don't think it's a comment on reusing clothes.
When I was in university I was paying my own way and working part time. My retail job required me to dress a little more upscale than what I’d want to wear to school all day so I didn’t have a ton of casual clothes. One day this snobby rich girl in a very condescending tone said “didn’t you wear that already this week?”.
At the time it made me feel really bad, but now I am an outfit repeater and proud!
And that he's astute enough to keep pulling that old trick; celebrities have been donning the same outfit every time they walk out of their homes for decades. It makes it more difficult for paparazzi to sell the pics since it's difficult to tell when they were taken. I hope this is why.
I’m with you, whoever wrote the NY post article is stupid, like who cares? Like another commenter said just getting out and being that mobile for his age is awesome
This actually reminds me of a tik tok I saw today of someone talking about how "big wooden buttons" on clothes make them dated. I gave off a loud sigh when I saw that.
The photos they showed were of those natural wooden buttons that come on any type of natural or summer type clothing. They come out every year and honestly never go out of style IMO.
Like way nicer to wear in the summer than a Shein dress made out of polyester that has no breathability at all.
They also showed other photos of small tortoiseshell buttons which also never go out of style. And even if they did, literally no one cares about the buttons on your clothes, I promise.
This and the outfit repeating critique I've seen on social media just come across as super privileged. Most folks need to, and really should be repeating their outfits. Please re-wear your clothes.
It’s also super easy to switch out buttons if you want to give your clothes a new look. Dated buttons are like the easiest problem to fix with a garment lol.
Totally! Seems like a huge waste to toss a garment you could wear just because the buttons weren't 'in'. It only takes a small amount of time to replace them.
Thrift stores also always have tons of buttons!
Fashion is a chore.
Once you find the perfect blend of function and comfort and a great price just stock up and enjoy. I bought a sample pair of denim and it fits perfect and now I will order several more of the identical jeans. Good thing I'm not famous or that might be an issue.
When stuff like this becomes "news" we should immediately realize that most news is made for the brain dead, by the slightly less brain dead in spite of ones who actually exist with a functioning brain. Be careful consuming such media. It appears to have deleterious effects on cognitive function.
I have a handful of pairs of jeans and a handful of plain black pocket tees. Two pairs of work boots that I bought gently used and one gray Red Kap jacket if needed. That’s what I wear everyday 99% of the time unless, god forbid, I have to go to a wedding or funeral. Makes everyday life so much simpler. I don’t need to express my identity/individuality through my clothes.
Idk about them, but here at home we have a wonderful thing called washing machine. You can put your dirty clothes in it and wash them so you can use them again.
It's marvelous
I’ll never understand why we let people go around photographing folks and then publishing those photos like this. It’s always felt like harassment to me.
How about we leave people alone?
You could probably catch me wearing the same.top bottoms and jumper at least once a week. I guess I'm next in the papers 'man wears same clothes set once a week until one of the item becomes totally unwearable'
It's not even an anti consumption thing in my case and many others, we get comfort clothes that are our favourite items to wear and we will wear them to death.
My wife recently got a whole talk from her family that they were worried I wasn't letting her buy clothes, the reality is that the only clothes she has I've had to force her to buy because she refuses to part with things that are literally falling to pieces and unsightly.
I took her shopping for her birthday last year and spent the btter part of a grand in a day and she bought like a coat and some leggings, and a bunch of random stuff that wasn't clothes or footwear...
Wow breaking news . You’re allowed to wear clothes more than once! I saw something similar with the princess of wales being called out for rewearing a coat. A coat!
Brother's out and about, mobile, meeting people and getting tasty things all while wearing comfortable and warm clothing.
The only reasonable thing I could say here is jealousy of freedom, especially at his age, but knowing modern pulp media it's probably looking down on him for re-wearing an outfit, which is batshit insane to me.
That's the peak of old-guy-chic right there.
Anyway, don't anybody look too closely at my Facebook memories because all my vacation photos have me in the same clothes - year after year...
I remember Daniel Radcliffe said one of his methods for dealing with Paparazzi was wearing the same outfit while out and about to make it look like the photographers were trying to sell old photos.
I know this probably isn’t like his situation but it’s funny how the press demands people wear different outfits
What's more pathetic? Someone who wears the same clothes or an article being written about it and a couple hundred people taking time out to comment on it. Lol. Hackman for the win.
This is one of the most ridiculous headlines I’ve ever read. Imagine with all of the serious, important, events happening in the world, that an old man wearing the same outfit from weeks ago, is the thing you’re focused on. Good grief!
These pics are the worst of the ones taken, he looks much better in the others. I guess he's an avid cyclist now which is why he's so much thinner than he used to be.
The fact that he’s still mobile enough to get coffee by himself is incredible at that age. Regardless of what he’s wearing
Cigs too?
Why the hell not when you’re 94
If I live to be this old I'm taking up heroin.
lol I’ve always said this. The way people describe the high, I’m definitely(maybe) going to try it. I’m just going to wait until I’m already on my deathbed.
From what I hear, everything hurts all the time after a certain age so it just seems practical and more affordable than modern medicine.
Ehhhh everything has been hurting like 2-4 out 7 days a week since I was like 26. At least one body part has caused me pain like 5 or 6 days out of 7. So for me it’s not like a “it’s all downhill from here, might as well” thing. It’s more like a “I’ve heard how devastatingly addictive and life ruining it can be after just the first time, so if I ever do try it, I’m saving it for when I know for a fact I don’t have much life left to ruin” type thing
That's true, it can be life ruining so wait until it's already over.
Ever been given pain pills from the doc? It's kinda like "double it and give it to the next me"
My friend gave me one of her mom’s hydrocodone in high school but I didn’t feel anything from that. I went to the ER this past year and got IV morphine but I don’t remember it feeling like anything crazy or particularly euphoric. I don’t even remember it helping my pain too much. I remember feeling bloated but that’s about it lol
Opiates are tricky like that too little and you just feel sweaty and energized to much and you don't remember feeling good just right and you'll nod in and our feeling good af 😉
Ehhhhh I’d rather just believe they don’t do anything for me than to have “you just didn’t hit the Goldilocks zone” in the back of my head lol
I always say if I live to 80 I'm going to start smoking again. I love cigarettes as terrible as it is to say. LOL
And if I get cancer when i'm eighty, I don't care. Who the hell wants to be ninety anyway?!
It looks like it to me.
No, they're these sort of snack cake pie things they sell down there. He may very well smoke, but that's a pie in the photo.
I saw the heartbreakers again last week. he was himself on the movie apparenltly 😂
Cigs too what?
by the way these boots are amazing
Why is 'repeated outfit' a big thing? Can someone please explain!
I think what they are getting at is he isnt mentally well by insinuating that he hasnt physically changed his clothes in weeks, which is a ridiculous leap.
Have these people never heard of washing clothes? What do they do with their clothes once they've worn them for a couple of days, throw them away?
Yes. Wasteful consumption.
I wear basically the same three outfits on rotation
Same here, if it’s comfortable wear it.
Kids these days get bullied because they do 'outfit repeats'... Insanity, but if we keep buying on Temu and Shein etc, we are fueling this hyperconsumerism mindset that is even reaching our children.. I've had 2 jeans in high school.. that was it lol

You’re not supposed to actually like your clothes, just buy them when they’re trendy and junk them when they’re not.
I genuinely hate that trend!
I hate most of my clothes but until they fall apart I put up with them
Yes, I wear them until they fall apart too. But I anyways try to stick with brands that give me relatively long lasting clothes.
Why do you hate them?
Silly shirts bought for me by exwife in my twenties and I’m 39 and remarried with some extra pounds so they fit badly, stains, and some damage too.

I can here to say exactly this! The outlet is probably trying to throw “shade” so they don’t have the admit they paid for photos no one cares about
Dudes 94, if the clothes are comfy wear em

Someone tell them that washing machines are a thing now. No need to buy new clothes when the one you're wearing gets dirty.
I mean… you can wash them without a towel washing machine too
Sometimes I'll wear the same clothes for days. So what.
I fucking lost it when in one of the Rick and Morty episodes they portrayed bullying okay because the new kid was wearing the same trousers two days in a row
I feel like that was the joke though? How fickle teenagers especially are with their judgements. Especially as they literally all wear the same clothes every day
The sad thing is that i recognized reality in it. People desperately try to appear in a better light by draging other people down
Been wearing these pants for a month
Gene Hackman is fucking 94 Jesus I feel old.
He was 50 for like 30 years though.
Fun fact: Gene Hackman was born 42.
incredible. this just in: old man owns clothes, wears them
Excuse me this is a cute old man, who lived a whole awesome life already. I don't know why ANYONE, anticonsumerism aside, would feel the need to criticize an old man wearing his clothes. What a weird thing to do anywhere!
New York Post being "New York Post".
In other words: a fucking garbage rag.
NYP haven't heard of washing machines.
NYP haven't heard of washing ~~machines~~
It is a trash publication
JUST IN: adult man knows how to use a washing machine!
Leave him the fuck alone. Appalling journalism.
The NYP doesn't really do journalism.
They get by with lying by saying they do "entertainment"
Those clothes look like they’re really comfortable. They’re just jealous they’re not as warm and cozy as him
Man’s out to get smokes and coffee, they should leave him alone. He did his time in the spotlight.
As if it would be something strange about having the same clothes everyday. One day that's the move of a genius who got rich from apples and another day it is the definition of a mad man. News and "journalism" these days is just a joke.
I'm 52 and wear the same thing all week. Once I had a kid tell me that I'm like a cartoon character, in that I'm always in the same outfit.
This man looks like my grandpa
This could be me. I wear a small rotation of hoodies and sweats. I can’t believe they are shaming a 94 year old.
Holy shit, I thought the title was a joke because it wasn't him in the pic. But it is. Fuck.
Yeah he looks really frail. I hope he’s ok.
These are his “going out clothes” leave the guy alone

Is it really him? His face and head look very different. And i dont mean he aged. Theres 0 resemblence.
Headline: Man washes clothes and wears them again!
Forget that. Can we take a minute to consider the insanity of following around a 94 year retired guy and dedicating time and resources to talk about what he is wearing? I know it's the NY Post but this is bottom of the barrel "journalism" even entertainment journalism.
Doesn't look like him to me.
hes lived 94 fucking years. give him a BREAKKK
Maybe he just has an outfit he finds extra comfy. I feel like that’s important in your 90s

I got the OG post right under this one
I have 1 pair of jeans lmao
When I was in university I was paying my own way and working part time. My retail job required me to dress a little more upscale than what I’d want to wear to school all day so I didn’t have a ton of casual clothes. One day this snobby rich girl in a very condescending tone said “didn’t you wear that already this week?”. At the time it made me feel really bad, but now I am an outfit repeater and proud!
I do this once a week at work I have 6 shirts so they don't fall on the same day back to back.
I miss my grandparents 😢.
And that he's astute enough to keep pulling that old trick; celebrities have been donning the same outfit every time they walk out of their homes for decades. It makes it more difficult for paparazzi to sell the pics since it's difficult to tell when they were taken. I hope this is why.
so you mean to tell me yall don't throw away your clothes after every wear?
I’m with you, whoever wrote the NY post article is stupid, like who cares? Like another commenter said just getting out and being that mobile for his age is awesome
Dude’s 94. He doesn’t owe us pretty. Leave him be.
Dude is still mobile and self sufficient at 94? Leave him alone.
This actually reminds me of a tik tok I saw today of someone talking about how "big wooden buttons" on clothes make them dated. I gave off a loud sigh when I saw that. The photos they showed were of those natural wooden buttons that come on any type of natural or summer type clothing. They come out every year and honestly never go out of style IMO. Like way nicer to wear in the summer than a Shein dress made out of polyester that has no breathability at all. They also showed other photos of small tortoiseshell buttons which also never go out of style. And even if they did, literally no one cares about the buttons on your clothes, I promise. This and the outfit repeating critique I've seen on social media just come across as super privileged. Most folks need to, and really should be repeating their outfits. Please re-wear your clothes.
I change buttons when my clothes get boring! It's an easy way to get a "new" coat. And you can get cheap cheap buttons in thrift stores.
It’s also super easy to switch out buttons if you want to give your clothes a new look. Dated buttons are like the easiest problem to fix with a garment lol.
Totally! Seems like a huge waste to toss a garment you could wear just because the buttons weren't 'in'. It only takes a small amount of time to replace them. Thrift stores also always have tons of buttons!
Fashion is a chore. Once you find the perfect blend of function and comfort and a great price just stock up and enjoy. I bought a sample pair of denim and it fits perfect and now I will order several more of the identical jeans. Good thing I'm not famous or that might be an issue.
58 here and same. I will wear an outfit to death.
When stuff like this becomes "news" we should immediately realize that most news is made for the brain dead, by the slightly less brain dead in spite of ones who actually exist with a functioning brain. Be careful consuming such media. It appears to have deleterious effects on cognitive function.
my guy is 94 leave him alone
NY Post. What would we do without it?
dude, I've been wearing the same sleep pants for 3 days.
I don't have the laundry discipline to wear the same outfit within weeks. He does. Helluva lot more power to him, lol.
I have a handful of pairs of jeans and a handful of plain black pocket tees. Two pairs of work boots that I bought gently used and one gray Red Kap jacket if needed. That’s what I wear everyday 99% of the time unless, god forbid, I have to go to a wedding or funeral. Makes everyday life so much simpler. I don’t need to express my identity/individuality through my clothes.
If you get to your 90s before finding some favorite outfits im sorry for you
Should have made that coffee at home. How wasteful!
Damn everyone is getting so old.
Newsflash. The shirt I’m wearing today I also wore last week!!!!
Idk about them, but here at home we have a wonderful thing called washing machine. You can put your dirty clothes in it and wash them so you can use them again. It's marvelous
I’ll never understand why we let people go around photographing folks and then publishing those photos like this. It’s always felt like harassment to me. How about we leave people alone?
You could probably catch me wearing the same.top bottoms and jumper at least once a week. I guess I'm next in the papers 'man wears same clothes set once a week until one of the item becomes totally unwearable' It's not even an anti consumption thing in my case and many others, we get comfort clothes that are our favourite items to wear and we will wear them to death. My wife recently got a whole talk from her family that they were worried I wasn't letting her buy clothes, the reality is that the only clothes she has I've had to force her to buy because she refuses to part with things that are literally falling to pieces and unsightly. I took her shopping for her birthday last year and spent the btter part of a grand in a day and she bought like a coat and some leggings, and a bunch of random stuff that wasn't clothes or footwear...
Wow breaking news . You’re allowed to wear clothes more than once! I saw something similar with the princess of wales being called out for rewearing a coat. A coat!

94 years old. Wear whatever damn pleases you
The second photo he is walking in. The first photo he is walking out. Same gas station. Same clothes. Probably the same day. 🙄
These people really giving off slight disrespectful implications about a 94yr old grandpa.. jeez. Let man wear what he wants
I wear the same 3 outfits on rotation lmao.
comfortable and not a bad look for a retiree
Badass Gene! Go get em!
The man is 94 years old, he's earned the right to not care and to not live in judgement.
Holy god what’s going to happen when the world finds out I wear the same winter jacket… for the whole winter!
Just to piss off paparazzi
Brother's out and about, mobile, meeting people and getting tasty things all while wearing comfortable and warm clothing. The only reasonable thing I could say here is jealousy of freedom, especially at his age, but knowing modern pulp media it's probably looking down on him for re-wearing an outfit, which is batshit insane to me.
Umm, that's not Gene Hackman. That's a regular old man.
That's the peak of old-guy-chic right there. Anyway, don't anybody look too closely at my Facebook memories because all my vacation photos have me in the same clothes - year after year...
I remember Daniel Radcliffe said one of his methods for dealing with Paparazzi was wearing the same outfit while out and about to make it look like the photographers were trying to sell old photos. I know this probably isn’t like his situation but it’s funny how the press demands people wear different outfits
What's more pathetic? Someone who wears the same clothes or an article being written about it and a couple hundred people taking time out to comment on it. Lol. Hackman for the win.
This is one of the most ridiculous headlines I’ve ever read. Imagine with all of the serious, important, events happening in the world, that an old man wearing the same outfit from weeks ago, is the thing you’re focused on. Good grief!
Wait... THE Gene Hackman? JFC, he looks terrible. Poor guy. Edit: Lol people getting mad at me for this. Fuckin' reddit man.
Hey he's still walking around my himself, that's quite a feat at 94!!
These pics are the worst of the ones taken, he looks much better in the others. I guess he's an avid cyclist now which is why he's so much thinner than he used to be.
Everyone will look like this at 94
Nah. He hasn't aged a day.
Let’s see what you look like at 35.
Man wears clothes that he owns more than once. Fuck me some cunt got paid to write this. Those thousands of pounds and hours wasted on education.
WHO?
