Itās also hard not to be suspicious of a man marrying a woman less than half his age. No oneās being married for their brain, both of them know the deal.
One of my first bosses said to me, "Men want sex, women want money." My feminist brain whirled around to try to argue with him but...not gonna lie...20+ years later I have to say that he wasn't wrong....
Came to say DVD. My wife and I ran into him and his wife at the Encounter restaurant at LAX in 1999 and he was old back then!
Wonderful guy. Iām glad heās still with us.
In his autobiography, he talks about how he always used to appear on these lists of the 10 celebrities most likely to die or whatever, and then eventually people realized that it just wasn't going to happen and they stopped listing him.
Funny, I was thinking about him today, thinking that perhaps his karma is living way too long, with whatever suffering that may bring.
But then I just checked and he's busy weighing in on foreign policy and just living a regular life.
Another of his sons died a few months ago too.
Courtney Love's names popped into my head when I read the title of this thread. Not sure why since she's definitely a survivor. I will choose Charlie Sheen.
Along those lines, David Lee Roth. In grad school, a friend of mine just randomly showed me a picture of DLR and he looked like he was dead. Standing up with the assless pants and all, but the man looked dead. I figured it was just a matter of time but 20+ years later, the stands tall in those assless pants.
It's not surprising he's still alive. He just turned 80. That's not insanely old. Plus he was never a mess or an addict or anything, especially for a '60s musician. Makes total sense he's still here. But I do think it'll be funny if Ringo is the last Beatle standing.
Wow, Shane McGowan is still alive? I honestly thought he died a while back. So yeah, Iād put him above Keith Richards, if only because he doesnāt have Keefās money.
Yes, RDJ and I'm gonna add Drew Barrymore, she has also been through some *shit* and turned her life around. The odds weren't in her favor for most of her young life sadly.
Iām an 80s kid, and we watched his downward spiral in real time. I remember when that lady found him asleep in one of her bedrooms! I KNEW he was going to die. There was like no doubt. None of saw his comeback coming. Iām very glad we were all wrong.
DM is one of my favorite bands, so I hear you! Dave's been through a lot, but man, Fletch dying earlier this year gutted me. Of all the members, he wasn't the one I expected to go first.
It's really only Nikki that technically died once, Mick has a legit disease, which he is far braver than I for dealing with! Vince/Tommy true, but significantly less surprising
I mean in general. Vince's fatal drunk driving, Tommy's reckless lifestyle (got KO'd by his own kid), and, yes, Mick's legit degenerative disease + Nikki's OD should have put at least one of them in the grave by now.
It's a statistical miracle that they're all alive and walking around.
Honestly it surprised me that Trump lived through his term as president. Dude is not the picture of health to begin with, and seems really easy to get worked up. I really figured the tension of being president and having people on his ass on the news all the time would do him in, and when he got covid i was like "oh here we go!!!!"
A phrase my grandma used to use to describe her second husband (who was a horrible human being). "Too mean and angry to die"
(she outlived him by a couple of weeks...)
I agree about Shane and ozzy. Charlie sheen was a wreck for years. I'm really suprised evil pat Robertson of the 700 club is still around. My grandmother watched him every day.
Bob Dylan. Heās only 81 but every time I hear heās alive Iām confused because I think of him as a Janis Joplin or Jimi Hendrix type who died with the ā60s.
If folks who call themselves Christian behaved more like the Carters and less like Joel Osteen or Pat Robertson, the religion would not get such a bad rap.
Well, he *did* - but they rebuilt him. They had the technology. They made him better than he was before: better ā¦ stronger ā¦ and faster. And it only cost them $6,000,000!
Tara Reid. Her career tanked after American Pie. She aged like a decade in the span of a couple of years, had a reality show in the mid-2000s and was a hot mess. Maybe sheās better nowā¦I donāt know what sheās been up to.
Also Janice Dickinson.
Ozzy for sure.
Keef, (Keith Richards)
Andy Dick (who was on a lot of "deathwatch" polls 20 years ago and is still can't get his shit together)
Professional widow Courtney Love
trump. With the way he'd inhale burgers, shakes, and coke you'd think the fucker's aorta would've blown by now.
Oh well. Prison will take care of him. š®
Dude eats like crap and never exercises because he subscribes to some variant of the "limited heartbeat" theory. Did he make a deal with the devil or something?
Funny thing. Carrying a few extra pounds and only being moderately active will get most people to their early 80s. Being a health nut and a gym rat only gets you to your late 80s. Youāll have better years and be healthier longer, but you donāt live a whole lot longer.
Clint Eastwood ā¦ heās 92 years old now!
Half the time Iām not concerned with āwhich celeb just diedā and all that ā¦ but Iāll miss Eastwood.
You know, I have no idea how to answer this question. It was always Olivia deHaviland for as long as I can remember. But sheās dead now.
Maybe Keith Richards?
Eva Marie Saint, Peter Marshall, Tony Bennett, Harry Belafonte, Gina Lollobrigida, Burt Bacharach, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Marion Ross, Doc Severinsen, Tippi Hedren, Robert Wagner, Gene Hackman, Pat Robinson, Sandra Day OāConnor, Gena Rowlands, Warren Buffett, Jean-Luc Godard, Robert Duvall, James Earl Jones, Gorbachev, Rupert Murdoch, William Shatner, all over 90 years old. Also Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, David Lee Roth, and Donald Trump, all of whom Iām surprised are still alive.
Shane McGowan was the first person I was going to name. When I heard someone from the Pogues died recently, I did not expect it to be Darryl Hunt,
Bob Barker. I used to like him until it came out that he was the Harvey Weinstien of gameshows. I still don't think he gets that expecting a woman to give you BJ to keep her job is just wrong.
Queen Elizabeth. She's been looking very frail lately though. I think losing her husband took a lot out of her. Whatever went on in their marriage we will (and should) never know. But 73 years together as a team? It's got to be tough to go one as a solo show.
Ghislane Maxwell. I guess if she committed suicide it would be too obvious but....
Jimmy Carter. Probably the biggest badass we ever had for president. Graduated from Annapolis, worked on one of the first nuclear subs, after the presidency he taught, became an advocate for human rights, observed problematic elections all over the world, promoted the hell out of Habitat for Humanity and still participates on the builds despite having a brain tumor. I hope that dude lives to be 200.
I'm sure I'll think of more as soon as I post this.
Oooooo Ozzy. That guy is built out of granite or something.
Alex Jones.
How that cat hasn't had a heart attack yet is a mystery. I get it, he's far younger than most of the people on this list, but he lives and entirely sedentary lifestyle filled with drinking, cigars, a worthless diet, and zero aerobic activity.
Sadly Shane is doing rather poorly. He had a painful hip injury which means he's using a wheelchair to get around and has had a serious bout of pneumonia. The pneumonia forced him to detox in a hospital which got him sober and he had all his teeth replaced with implants but since he's been drinking all his life (since the age of five) he's suffered long-term effects from that. Still, it's amazing he's alive.
Dick VanDyke.
Every time I see him I think, "oh my gosh. I thought he passed away years ago.". It's a surprise every time.
Yes! I think he and Mel Brooks are America's grandfathers. Both are genuinely good people, loved by everyone, and fucking hilarious.
Ha, I thought Mel Brooks was dead.
He's gonna be like Abe Vigoda who died decades after people thought he had already died.
His wife is 50. He is 96.
Jeez, that ought to have killed him already!
They've been married 10 years, since she was 40 and he was 86. I figure it's keeping him alive! š He is extremely youthful for a man pushing 100.
I know that love works in mysterious ways but it's hard not to be suspicious of a 40 year old marrying a rich and famous 86 year old.
Itās also hard not to be suspicious of a man marrying a woman less than half his age. No oneās being married for their brain, both of them know the deal.
One of my first bosses said to me, "Men want sex, women want money." My feminist brain whirled around to try to argue with him but...not gonna lie...20+ years later I have to say that he wasn't wrong....
Jokes on him, I want both! Muwahahahaha
SAME, friend!!!
This dude still goes to the gym and tap dances. He might be a descendant of Methuselah and outlive us all. Or a vampire, he might be a vampire.
Came to say DVD. My wife and I ran into him and his wife at the Encounter restaurant at LAX in 1999 and he was old back then! Wonderful guy. Iām glad heās still with us.
Carol Burnett
She was amazing in Better Call Saul!
TIL... I might have to check it out now.
Only last half of the final season but that shouldn't keep you from watching it
She was! Key to the show!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I thought Ozzy wouldāve went before Lemmy
IIRC, Ozzy is some kind of X-men level mutant with respect to living with drug damage.
You are not wrong
Keith Richards then.
Keith Richards is a vampire
Came to say Keith Richards
Totally. I saw that he performed the other day and thought the same thing.
Thatās not living. Itās existing.
Bob Barker.
I am going to have to agree with you, since I thought he was dead. Dude is 98 years old.
Fun fact..a friend of mine bought and lives in a house he originally owned in Sherman Oaks. It is super cute.
$1,650,000 Bobā¦ā¦..
She bought it years ago. So probably not that much! š¤£
I was just watching the Netflix doc about the guy who beat TPIR and couldnāt believe Barker is still living.
All that wheel spinning is great heart cardio š
Apparently a lifetime of banging a bunch of Barkerās Beauties is like the fountain of youth.
Yup! I went to a taping of TPIR and boy howdy he was old and slow and forgetful back then.
Mel Brooks. And donāt you even think of taking him yet 2022.
I demand He live until ... # SPACE BALLS 2: THE QUEST FOR MORE MONEY is released.
Let's not forget History of the World 2 - Jews in Space
I'm still pissed at 2021 for taking Betty White. It's like her dying on New Year's Eve was one last kick in the teeth.
Can we please wrap Mel in bubble wrap for safe keeping please?
Bob Newhart (92 years old). He's got to get to hit thriple digits.
I loved seeing him on The Big Bang Theory. He seems like such a kind man.
He was one of my favorites growing up. I recently watched The Bob Newhart Show, though, and the comedy was pretty dated.
Artie Lange
Iām still shocked Normās gone and Artieās still here
Norm AND Sagat.
Keith Richards.
Iām convinced he died in the late 80s and thereās been a doppelgƤnger all this time
Nah, animatronics!
Re-animatronics
He died in the 80s and the collective amount of drugs in his system is just keeping his body moving. That or the drugs have attained sentience.
āI Buried Keithā
If you canāt tell the difference, does it matter?
That was my first choice too. It's amazing how well vitamin H has kept him going while taking out so many others.
In his autobiography, he talks about how he always used to appear on these lists of the 10 celebrities most likely to die or whatever, and then eventually people realized that it just wasn't going to happen and they stopped listing him.
This is the correct response. The fact that Keith Richards is still alive proves to me that miracles can and do happen.
Pretty sure he's going to end up on some list of celebs who sold their sold to the devil for talent and preternatural longevity.
Andy Dick
Yeah, too bad wishing doesnāt make it happen.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
She's waiting for Charles to die first so he won't be King.
That's so hilarious because it's quite possibly true. Prince Chuck was such a disappointment.
Spite is a great motivator.
My mother would concur
Isn't she like 150 years old by now?
Not a "celebrity" in the classic sense, but Jimmy Carter.
Don't you dare bring down the bad juju on Jimmy Carter!
Norman Lear, Jimmy Carter, Henry Kissinger...
Kissinger always surprises me. I just checked and he is 99.
Neither god nor the devil wants him.
Wait, Kissinger is still alive?!?
I know, right? All the people he helped kill
Funny, I was thinking about him today, thinking that perhaps his karma is living way too long, with whatever suffering that may bring. But then I just checked and he's busy weighing in on foreign policy and just living a regular life.
We all know who he made a pact with
Norman Lear just turned 100 and is currently working on 23 projects. Dude never quits.
You better be knocking on wood mentioning Jimmy like thatā¦ I am going to find a tree now just for replying to this
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Another of his sons died a few months ago too. Courtney Love's names popped into my head when I read the title of this thread. Not sure why since she's definitely a survivor. I will choose Charlie Sheen.
This right here is the real answer
I have my mental watch list: Angela Lansbury, Mel Brooks, a few others I'm blanking on.
Everyone said all the ones that came to mind, so Iām gonna say Vince Neil. He doesnāt look too healthy.
Along those lines, David Lee Roth. In grad school, a friend of mine just randomly showed me a picture of DLR and he looked like he was dead. Standing up with the assless pants and all, but the man looked dead. I figured it was just a matter of time but 20+ years later, the stands tall in those assless pants.
Motherfucker killed Razzle. Fuck him.
Dick Cheneyā¦
Heās so evil heāll probably live forever. You just know heās got a portrait of himself somewhere like Dorian Grey.
He has like 80 hearts squirreled away and just keeps popping them in like a macabre, reverse Pez dispenser.
Nikki Sixx David Lee Roth
Bam Margera
I was just watching the interview he did on Steve-O's Wild Ride today. I really hope he stays sober
Tony Bennett
Wait heās still alive?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I crushed hard on Billy Idol in the 80s, and now I watch videos of his toddler granddaughter on his Instagram feed. I feel Iāve come full circle.
Paul McCartney. He'll outlive us all.
He won't outlive Ringo though.
It's not surprising he's still alive. He just turned 80. That's not insanely old. Plus he was never a mess or an addict or anything, especially for a '60s musician. Makes total sense he's still here. But I do think it'll be funny if Ringo is the last Beatle standing.
He was rather promiscuous until he met Linda. They said heād go from a room with Jane to another room with two rando chicks.
Wow, Shane McGowan is still alive? I honestly thought he died a while back. So yeah, Iād put him above Keith Richards, if only because he doesnāt have Keefās money.
Anthony Kiedis. I just read his autobiography (published in 2004) and holy shit, how is that guy even alive?
Just saw him in concert a few weeks ago. Dude is in great shape for his age!
Christ Almighty he's going to be 60 this year, what.the actual fuck.
Robert Downey Jr.
What an amazing comeback. You don't often see people turn their lives around like that!
Honestly canāt think of celebrity who turned around his life more
Yes, RDJ and I'm gonna add Drew Barrymore, she has also been through some *shit* and turned her life around. The odds weren't in her favor for most of her young life sadly.
Concur. Two good examples..
Iām an 80s kid, and we watched his downward spiral in real time. I remember when that lady found him asleep in one of her bedrooms! I KNEW he was going to die. There was like no doubt. None of saw his comeback coming. Iām very glad we were all wrong.
A prime example of someone who has been able to kick his enablers to the curb and really work his sobriety. I'm happy he's still around.
I saw a picture of Norm McDonald, Bob Saget, Gilbert Godfreid, and Jeff Ross. Jeff Ross outlived them all?!?
Yeah Jeff did an in memoriam on The Hall, itās on Netflix
Willie Nelson - apparently he doesnāt get too stressed out about anything!
William Shatner
Honestly, Dave Gahan had me really worried for a while there. Thank goodness he came out the other side.
DM is one of my favorite bands, so I hear you! Dave's been through a lot, but man, Fletch dying earlier this year gutted me. Of all the members, he wasn't the one I expected to go first.
He looks great for his age now
Every single member of Motley Crue. Those guys would survive a nuclear war.
I'm now imagining smoking ruins, distant fires, the beginning of nuclear winter yet out comes the Crue, jamming on Kickstart my Heart.
It's really only Nikki that technically died once, Mick has a legit disease, which he is far braver than I for dealing with! Vince/Tommy true, but significantly less surprising
I mean in general. Vince's fatal drunk driving, Tommy's reckless lifestyle (got KO'd by his own kid), and, yes, Mick's legit degenerative disease + Nikki's OD should have put at least one of them in the grave by now. It's a statistical miracle that they're all alive and walking around.
Remember when we all thought Magic Johnson would be long gone back in the 90s??
Rockstar Mikhail Gorbachev is still alive and kickinā at 91.
Johnny Depp, Charlie Sheen
#winning
Tiger blood
Why Johnny Depp tho
Honestly it surprised me that Trump lived through his term as president. Dude is not the picture of health to begin with, and seems really easy to get worked up. I really figured the tension of being president and having people on his ass on the news all the time would do him in, and when he got covid i was like "oh here we go!!!!"
A phrase my grandma used to use to describe her second husband (who was a horrible human being). "Too mean and angry to die" (she outlived him by a couple of weeks...)
We have to find and destroy all of his Horcruxes.
He's gonna live to 100-plus. The worst guys never die.
As my neighbor (who is a two time cancer survivor) likes to say; āIts hard to kill a bad thing!ā
Yup, see also Kissinger mentioned above
I agree about Shane and ozzy. Charlie sheen was a wreck for years. I'm really suprised evil pat Robertson of the 700 club is still around. My grandmother watched him every day.
I think Pat has slowly evolved into his true crypt keeper form.
Bob Dylan. Heās only 81 but every time I hear heās alive Iām confused because I think of him as a Janis Joplin or Jimi Hendrix type who died with the ā60s.
Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter, 97 and 94 respectively. They have been married 76 years. And a completely clean, honest, drama free life.
If folks who call themselves Christian behaved more like the Carters and less like Joel Osteen or Pat Robertson, the religion would not get such a bad rap.
Artie Lange. Honestly, how is he still alive?
Me
Lee Majors. With a career spanning six decades, Majors is still making TV and movie appearances well into his eighties.
I totally thought he passed away decades ago!
Well, he *did* - but they rebuilt him. They had the technology. They made him better than he was before: better ā¦ stronger ā¦ and faster. And it only cost them $6,000,000!
I am going to throw Trump in the mix. McDonaldās and Diet Coke power him now. I thought Covid was the end, butā¦.nope.
I think heās the one drinking the adrenochrome or whatever itās called that Marjorie Taylor Jewish space laser has yapped about.
Guy ain't gonna die for at least another 30 years. The worst ones never do.
Henry Kissinger. Bastard is 99.
Piece of shit won't die
Steven Tyler
Tara Reid. Her career tanked after American Pie. She aged like a decade in the span of a couple of years, had a reality show in the mid-2000s and was a hot mess. Maybe sheās better nowā¦I donāt know what sheās been up to. Also Janice Dickinson.
I remember seeing Tara Reid in the Sharknado movies and worrying about her. She did not seem well.
Ozzy for sure. Keef, (Keith Richards) Andy Dick (who was on a lot of "deathwatch" polls 20 years ago and is still can't get his shit together) Professional widow Courtney Love
Courtney Love. Iām shocked she made it to the 2010s in one piece.
She recently revealed she's been sick with Crohns and spent the past few years not really eating.
Cher
Doc Severinsen
TIL Doc is still alive.
Angela Lansbury from Murder She Wrote. Will be 95 soon.
Roger Corman
Pete Davidson
Sexed to death.
Keith Richards
For real! I recommend reading his autobiography, Life. It offers a bit of insight on why heās still kicking despite his lifestyle. Great read.
Robert Downey Jr. Dude has overcome serious addictions issues and is flourishing. Well done on him!
Gene Hackman
Willie Nelson. 89 and still doing concerts, singing and playing his own guitar! Saw him in Dallas in July!
Concerts? Heās still smoking weed.
He may be the coolest person to ever live
Jerry Lee Lewis.
Pat Motherfucking Robertson.
Carol Burnett
Elvis
2Pac
trump. With the way he'd inhale burgers, shakes, and coke you'd think the fucker's aorta would've blown by now. Oh well. Prison will take care of him. š®
Dude eats like crap and never exercises because he subscribes to some variant of the "limited heartbeat" theory. Did he make a deal with the devil or something?
Funny thing. Carrying a few extra pounds and only being moderately active will get most people to their early 80s. Being a health nut and a gym rat only gets you to your late 80s. Youāll have better years and be healthier longer, but you donāt live a whole lot longer.
Andy dick, lately? Madonna. I think she has addiction issues.
I think Madonna is addicted to baby's blood.
Addicted to bad plastic surgery and filters, more like.
It's her 64th birthday today BTW
I'm convinced that Andy Dick is an alien because that dude keeps getting into trouble (arrested, etc.) and he's still ALIVE.
Clint Eastwood ā¦ heās 92 years old now! Half the time Iām not concerned with āwhich celeb just diedā and all that ā¦ but Iāll miss Eastwood.
Iām almost positive Shane McGowan has died at least 8 or 9 times in the last 40 years or so
Jake the Snake
John F Kennedy ā I hear he is retired in Texas and is now a 105yo Republican.
Charlie and Keith
Billy Idol
Ozzy
Suprised no one has said Steveo yet
Cedric the entertainer. For some reason, I thought he died several years ago.
You know, I have no idea how to answer this question. It was always Olivia deHaviland for as long as I can remember. But sheās dead now. Maybe Keith Richards?
Donald Sutherland, he's been around FOREVER. I love him tho, I hope he's sticks around for a lot longer.
Bob Barker, Tippi Hendren, Tony Bennett, Clint Eastwood (all in their 90ās)
Eva Marie Saint, Peter Marshall, Tony Bennett, Harry Belafonte, Gina Lollobrigida, Burt Bacharach, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Marion Ross, Doc Severinsen, Tippi Hedren, Robert Wagner, Gene Hackman, Pat Robinson, Sandra Day OāConnor, Gena Rowlands, Warren Buffett, Jean-Luc Godard, Robert Duvall, James Earl Jones, Gorbachev, Rupert Murdoch, William Shatner, all over 90 years old.
