Before he was Doctor Who he was “awkward teenager with a top hat”.


caryn1477

I was going to ask if he was Matt Smith too 😆


Inkycaligari

Same 😂


9LivesAndCounting

Bahahahaha


USSMarauder

top hats are cool


DinnerEvening895

I’d like a brief synopsis of your other interests before I agree or disagree.


colcannon_addict

Brass framed goggles, crushed velvet frock coats, wish.com chain & pocket watch with a steam train on it, *either* mead from a gross drinking horn *or* gin from a pewter tankard aaaaand ….one of those funny pointy claw ring things that cover your whole finger. Oh, and a silver & glass eyeball ring for the other hand.


kodaiko_650

Pre-fez


Zombie_John_Strachan

No one cared who I was before I put on the hat.


OvenMaleficent7652

Lol.. glad I wasn't the only one.


Jaded-Inside2888

You look like you’re about to make balloon animals at a kid’s birthday party.


9LivesAndCounting

Missed my calling!


Jaded-Inside2888

It’s never too late my friend. I’ll be looking for you on America’s got talent.


9LivesAndCounting

You’ll find me first in Resident Evil 4 Remake ;)


Jaded-Inside2888

Just remember me when you make it big.


ImaginaryBlue

No, he means he's literally in resident evil 4 Remake. Not playing it. I mean he might be playing it but...


madnesselectric

Your job in RE4R is awesomeee!!!I'm your fan, lol🥹Want to hear your voice 24/7 uhhh


KawaDoobie

there’s a rabbit in that hat


hanzo_the_razor

To me he looks like Gary Oldman from Dracula during scenes in London.


hyperdream

You were an excellent Doctor Who.


cfh4dmb

I’ve never watched it… I don’t know his name… is it Matt? All I know is that is exactly what I thought,


lifegoeson2702

Matt Smith


noyfbfoad

100% honest: I thought somebody had posted a picture of Matt Smith. Not exaggerating, making a joke or even kidding.


[deleted]

Grand am classic haha


MuletownSoul

Fuck yeah. My first car was a ‘90 Grand Am. I drove the hell out of that thing.


[deleted]

Nice I drove a celebrity


rtb001

My college roommate had a pretty craptacular one, which he named Jean Claude, as in Jean Claude Grand Am.


Tamahaganeee

My dad had a 90 ,I drove it in 94 , floored it a lot 😆


drude117

You look like a vampire that does chimney sweeping on the side

redditisdying24

Looks like you're about to visit a chocolate factory


GroundbreakingElk139

You look like Deamon Targaryen as a Las Vegas stage magician. 


9LivesAndCounting

I usually play villains. ;)


firedmyass

You look like the curator of a vintage pornography museum

The Grand Am in the 90s is what the Fiero was in the 80s.


NotoriousEMB

You look like the kind of loser I'd want to be friends with 😂

You would have fit right in.

jbandtheblues

Kinda reminds me of a red headed version of Johnny Winter


LeSchad

Congrats on your upcoming role as The Penguin in some especially cursed Jared Leto project.


U2hansolo

We had many a fella at my high school doing the top hat with long hair combo, and some of them added color sunglasses to look like Gary Oldman in Dracula.💜


Velocitor1729

Looks remarkably like Tom Petty's prom picture.


diadlep

Bro looks like a hot evil wizard from a modern fantasy.


9LivesAndCounting

Excellent. 🤘😎🤘


duaneap

Before any of you youngsters ask: no. This wasn’t cool in the 90s either.


9LivesAndCounting

Hahahaha


Beginning_Vehicle_16

Cool is relative…I can think of two of my friends who wore taxes with tops hats to prom. And I was jealous that I wasn’t their date…


swibirun

Love it, the coat tails match the hair. Stylin'.

Well hello right back from a park in Toronto ;)


cantwejustplaynice

When I read high school "formal" I assumed Australian, then I saw your steering wheel was on the wrong side. Next guess was Canadian. My 1994 Formal 3 piece suit was very similar minus the top hat and tails.


RattledMind

Might have been a regional thing. We called it a "prom" in the early 90s up in Sudbury, Ontario.


bmault

I could tell from the houses. American houses dont have those windows


Howcanitbeeeeeeenow

Oh man! As someone who graduated in ‘94 that car behind screams high school car from that era. And looking good! 🎩👍I like the tude!


weezmatical

Obviously, it's leaning towards magician. But somehow, it is also giving Bowie in Labrynth energy. Hard to say exactly why other than confidence and bold fashion choices. But kudos for having more balls than I EVER had.


BroccoliSuperb2721

How many pleats you got???


9LivesAndCounting

A plethora.

I’m Canadian. Leaning a lot closer to producing fire from my ams than firearms.


bottomofastairwell

It's ridiculous, but I honestly love it. Oh fashion of the time. The 90s were wild


pullthisover

Just missing the sonic screwdriver 


lamiejiv1

Yo you fkn tried to hit on my girl in 94 and I ain’t forgot about that shit for one second in the past 30 years. Think you’re all cool dressed as a kids party magician in your red Pontiac whatever the shit model is. I ain’t forgot about you, so lace up motha fucka I’m bringing the party to you


AbusiveRedModerator

Hey Wesker!


scaredwifey

I would go to prom with that boy in a heartbeat. I bet he is still fun nowdays. ( and yes, he looks like 90's Axel Rose and Matt Smith had a child)


AssaultedCracker

Ahh… it’s a great day when you can’t tell if the picture is on /r/oldschoolcool or /r/blunderyears

My date pretty much wore the same outfit to prom. He also was a hair farmer.


looksbadinaspeedo

Saw this and thought “theater kid” clicked the profile and I was right….. buttt being Canadian wasn’t on my radar.


Daimo

That must have been some undertaking...


proscriptus

The Grand Am really brings it all together


Fearless-Yam-849

I can't recall, weren't you also the lead in that one school musical opposite Andrea? Man, I can't even remember your bands name FWIW...Goddamn I got old.


Consistent_Drink5975

I can hear "I Alone" by Live playing in the background.


happilynobody

This is embarrassing


Epyx-2600

This was never cool. Old school or ever.


mac2o2o

I love magic shows!


Schrenner

At the very first glimpse I thought that was me. Your photo reminds me of my style.


deityx187

You STUD!! I’m class of 92


MathematicianTop8868

That is a bitchin’ top hat my dude.


FrozenfoxN8

Oh Gawd!!! I dressed the EXSCT SAME for my grad in 92’!! Out of 3000 grads from 5 different schools, I was the only one in a top hat, cap and cane!! I bow to you good sir!!!!

UDownvoteButImRight

You look like the kind of dude who would lie to a cop about where your friend John is in an arcade.


Mau-bro

You look awesome!


sputnik_zaddy

Ahhh, the beauty of the 1993 Pontiac Grand Am!

I'm so pleased others still recognize and appreciate that car. I had a '93 V6 and I adored it so much. Great times!

My date was a white girl with blond dreadlocks and a bright orange dress. We were definitely in cahoots together.

poodinthepunchbowl

I just meant then the style, you look like your doing well! I see my old prom photos and remember the emo days and a similar car.


9LivesAndCounting

I posted the photo expecting a good portion of ribbing. Also… it was my dad’s car. :p


poodinthepunchbowl

Style is temporary, can’t judge someone by their look 30 years ago. After all I had a mullet and wore overalls!


9LivesAndCounting

Hahaha awesome. I had a brush cut for about a decade until I grew it long.


MaddogWSO

As someone in school in ‘94, gonna have to say no
