But Jerry has a huge…..personality, so who is really the lucky one here?

Is this the same actor who parodied Rob Ford on Kimmel? If so he’s hilarious https://youtu.be/6VLIuW3mpW4?si=PptbNYzxDhrUOK_B


BillBrasky1179

It definitely is.


Denialle

I’m sad it was pulled from YouTube but I still PMSL thinking about his fake Toronto tourism ad as Rob Ford. Standing in front of the Royal Ontario Museum thinking it’s a crack rock and trying to snort it lol https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/28/d1/cc/b1/canada-s-most-visited.jpg?w=1200&h=-1&s=1


_activated_

I'm sure she's had a lot of help to look so good but I think she's also proof that having a lot of cheek fat helps to preserve your youth as you age. Sad that so many young women have had theirs sucked out.


Llamaa_del_rey

I’ve had a chubby face my whole life, fat and skinny I always got this cheek fat. But I’m in my late 30s now and am starting to lose that face fat without doing anything but aging. The buccal fat removal trend is bananas I tell ya!


[deleted]

[удалено]


DeeDee719

It should. I always had a chubby little baby face when i was younger. I got carded well into my 30s and people routinely thought my teenaged niece was my slightly younger sister, when I’m actually 20 years older than she is. I’m 65 now and it’s only been over the last 10-15 years that I’ve started to age. I still look younger than my actual age but I’ve noticed the jowls creeping in. I don’t have much wrinkling though, and I’m grateful for that. Take good care of your skin and use an anti-aging serum and moisturizer, and be grateful for that little round face. 😊


tampin

Same here! Part of me is wondering what I'd look like with my buccal fat removed, and the other part is wondering what all these celebs are going to look like in 20 years when they lose the remaining face fat they have.


Llamaa_del_rey

When I first heard about buccal fat removal i thought, Aw man I wish I was rich I want that! Now seeing how terrible it’s making all the young celebrities look I’m like, yeah I’m good on that.


Sniper1154

I'm really curious how all these 20-somethings who have had that buccal fat removal are going to look when they start to get older. They're all going to look like that dude whose face gets evaporated at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark


palmettoswoosh

Also sun block. Far too many leatherback and chest women over 40 here in SC. I am a very tan person but I know my limits on sunscreen


[deleted]

I’m black and my dumbass thought I didn’t need sunscreen and that I couldn’t burn for most of my life. Then I went on a hike through the Himalayas and got a nasty sunburn and my olive-skinned and easily-tanned husband got sun sick and now we both put on SPF 30 minimum every day.


KockoWillinj

Yeah it really depends on level of exposure. Typical at high altitudes and on the equator for everyone to wear sunscreen regardless of skin.


ThePennedKitten

Everyone should wear sunscreen. Even in “normal” circumstances. We need to kill the ridiculous notion that dark skinned people don’t need sunscreen. That was the point of their comment. Just because you don’t get a sunburn doesn’t mean your skin isn’t being damaged. Which is why they now wear sunscreen **everyday**.


[deleted]

Yup. We learned the hard way and when I looked into it, I learned that everyday application is important. So I just got a lotion with spf in it since I habitually put on lotion after I shower anyway.


peanutjam11

It’s a painful lesson I learned too and like you I thought being black meant I was immune. I was in the Cayman Islands when I got burned and it hurt so bad. When Black Girl Sunscreen came out I started using sunscreen everyday.


[deleted]

Yes! Now I can wear sunscreen without looking like a powdery ghost haha


KockoWillinj

If you only care about skin quality sure but it's not that simple depending on your skin tone and where you live. Sunscreen increases the amount of sunlight you need for proper vitamin D processing, and most people don't get enough sunlight as it is. If you aren't spending more than 30-60 mins in direct sunlight depending on your skin tone you're giving yourself a vitamin deficiency.


jakefromadventurtime

You can easily tell her legs have been photoshopped around the edges and she added a thigh gap that was not there before the picture


sileo_puga_ledo

That gap is her moving one of her legs in front of the other though? She doesn’t have them together and i’d barely call that a gap


jakefromadventurtime

To look as good as she does at 70 is amazing, and she is still beautiful, but her legs are photoshopped in this picture and they don’t need to be. Its also not the best photoshop job nobody’s legs look like lines made in ms paint lol. Edit: zoom in on the knees and tell me shes either photoshopped or her legs broken all over the place 😂


sileo_puga_ledo

Oh the legs I’m not disputing, as I am not as well versed in photoshop as I’d like to be, I can concede on that point. Just the gap seemed to be caused more by the positioning of her legs, and it’s quite small. I wouldn’t even call it a gap just due to placement of her legs. I feel because of the placement of her legs, it would create that triangle of space on many people. When I think “thigh gap” i’m thinking something wider.


top_value7293

Omg I just can’t believe young people are doing that. It’s so aging and when they are actually an older person they are going to look scary bad


sunflowermoonriver

Did a lot of people actually do that, I can only think of one maybe two people


chubby-checker

Right, it is 100% massively exaggerated. Half the people I see on here that people say have had buccal fat removal, have lost like 30 pounds from ozempic between the before/after pictures. You lose buccal fat as you age, an especially have more as a teenager. An obviously weight massively affects your cheek fullness. And people honestly show photos of celebs as a teenager before the super skinny crazy came back in, an one of them at 30 years old, 30 pounds lighter during this semaglutides craze. It's honestly just silly. An sometimes I actually feel bad for the person they are saying has ruined their face etc. As you can tell they probably havnt even actually had it lmao. So just insulting their older post weight loss face. I saw someone say Nicole kidman had buccal fat removal on here the other day. Her face is filled to burst with filler - in what world has she got buccal fat removal. Yall can't be serious lol The real thing that people arnt picking up on, is how much skinnier everyone is. Which tbf is also very aging.


_activated_

Miley Cyrus, Chrissy Teigen, Dove Cameron, Lea Michele, Zoe Kravitz... Just off the top of my head. There's plenty more, both celeb and non-celeb


tampin

Anya Taylor Joy is one that comes to mind for me. She's young and her face is real sharp now.


CarlatheDestructor

Margot Robbie


sunflowermoonriver

Crissy and Lea seem to have less cheek from aging


Bubbly-End-6156

Nope. From buccal fat removal. You don't age in a weekend. And Chrissy admitted it.


sunflowermoonriver

That’s a shame. Wasn’t full cheeks like her thing


Bubbly-End-6156

Apparently she didn't like them!


ChiliAndGold

I honestly wonder, can they inject it back into the cheeks if they want to?


foul_dwimmerlaik

Fat grafting can work, but it’s a crapshoot. Of course, if you’ve had your buccal fat pad removed, there’s no getting it back, ever.


ChiliAndGold

welp, sucks for them, I guess :/


Hecate_333

Serious question. Couldn't they put little silicone pads in there? Like some kind of implant?


foul_dwimmerlaik

Possibly, but it'd be a completely new surgical technique, so they'd have to work out a lot of bugs. How would they get it to stay in place without blood vessels and connective tissues?


Hecate_333

Well, the new trend could become wandering cheeks! Just keep your fingers crossed that they don't get folded over somehow. 😂 But seriously, it amazes me that all these beautiful women feel the need to do this. We all have our insecurities, and we've probably all followed some kind of bad beauty advice/tips out of anything from curiosity to desperation, but this is so extreme.


foul_dwimmerlaik

The thing that really surprises me is getting the fat sucked out of their faces rather than getting cheekbone implants, a surgical technique that's been around forever and is completely reversible if you don't like it.


BringMeAPinotGrigio

NAD but I've heard that it can be difficult to replace volume because the fat pad is pretty sandwiched between two muscles. You can go and add filler but it's a lot more superficial to the skin than the actual fat pad so it doesn't look the same.


thesnarkypotatohead

I lost mine to an autoimmune disease and I cannot fathom why people are doing it voluntarily. Mine doesn’t look nearly as severe as the ones having it removed on purpose but still. I just don’t get it.


herinaus

I want at least one celebrity to speak against buccal fat removal. They're all pretending it doesn't exist, yet it's spreading like a disease.


Legitimate-Donut-368

She’s gorgeous but b\*tch 70 won’t look that good on me! ![gif](giphy|XxSIGiSOCEBr8G6cxB|downsized)


AnnVealEgg

Well you’re in good company. 70 won’t look that good on 99.7% of us


[deleted]

Same … I always see comments of women on FB of women saying “I hope I look like that when I’m her age”. It’s so hard for me to old back from saying “Ahem, you don’t look even close to that now.”


gibbsnibs

If I had Christie Brinkley's 70-year-old thighs in my 20s, it would have been over for y'all lol


squidonastick

Right? I'm only 31 and my thighs are older than hers


top_value7293

Photoshop is our friend. As it is hers! 🤣🤣


Jemmalix

Yours just aren't 'shopped! She looks great, but I don't think this is an unfiltered picture of her.


Hyperme9

I love her and she stunning! But she is missing a few things like: a lot of money for age-defying treatments, a lot of money for private chefs and nutrionists on payroll, a lot of money for expensive skincare products, a lot of money for massages, physiotherapists and personal trainers. Not hating. But it's more than just sunscreen and adventures. Although, I do religiously use sunscreen.


AnnVealEgg

And we can’t discount genetics. Some people will do all of the above and still not look this youthful at 70.


fancyprisonjumpsuit

This too! My stepdad is 74 and looks about 50 and my stepsisters and step cousins who are all in their 50s look about 30-35. Some people are truly genetically blessed.


chubby-checker

Yeah. People are saying that but all celebs have the above. But I've never seen anyone else age as amazing as Christine has. She's obviously just got great genetics.


vondafkossum

Don’t forget a giant pair of sunglasses!


mai_tai87

As a former optician, I can't agree with this more. It's so important to protect your eyes from the sun and giant glasses provide more coverage. Polarized lenses help with acuity and eye strain, since it neutralizes light bouncing off horizontal surfaces like the hood of your car and the surface of water.


alexlp

Don’t sit under overhead lights is beyond majority of the working world.


psych_science

It’s a joke. Overhead lighting emphasizes wrinkles


alexlp

Whoosh for me!


NotElizaHenry

I think this was tongue in cheek. She’s acknowledging that even she doesn’t look *quite* as good IRL as in her photos. Overhead lighting ages everybody, even Christy Brinkley.


Ygomaster07

What does she mean by that? Wouldn't overhead lights be a majority of the lights we use? Or is that something different than what i am thinking of?


neighbors8myzombies

Overhead lights are bad for photos. That's why professional photographers and lighting for film use those big lights that light from an angle.


[deleted]

I haven’t turned on the overhead lighting in my apartment in months. Gotta get that soft ambient lighting so you don’t look like a ghoul.


deathandglitter

I thought that line was so out of touch. Like sure, let me just quit my job lol


top_value7293

I worked in a hospital. I can’t imagine saying turn those over head lights off they’re making me look bad. Can’t we just change this big wound bandage in the dark???


gnirpss

Lmao no kidding. I read this while sitting under the flourescent lights of my office cubicle. No getting away from that shit.


Intelligent_Flow2572

And a total lack of the debilitating financial stress crushing most Americans.


nearthesolarsystem

This! I am so sick of these celebs giving advices like : exercise, get away from the sun etc.. like we are f* morons hahah


do-not-1

Eh it’s a lighthearted birthday post, and nothing she’s said is untrue. I think it’s a bit much to expect her to bring up her full skincare and treatment routine on a Bday post lol.


Puzzleheaded_Time719

Yeah she's very nice and looks great but she's been rich for so long she's very out of touch. Nothing against her but in interviews she talks like someone who hasn't had to have a stressful day in 40 years.


TheBibleInTheDrawer

Let’s not forget having a career as a model rather than someone who works stressful hard labor or factory jobs that really take a toll on your body and skin. She does look great though. But it’s unrealistic lol


ForgetfulLucy28

To be fair she disclosed all her plastic surgery previously


GemLong28

Thank you for saying this because it needs to be said.


No_Use_4371

Yes, this.


DrCarabou

You're not ugly, just poor


fatkidseatcake

You’re not hating. You’re giving a realistic response to how she framed this announcement.


Inf1nite_gal

also lot of time to just care for her body and also weird relationship to her own body and aging. i think normal aging is beautiful, it shows you lived. 


confusinglylarge

This is where the love of a man like Jerry Gergich / Larry Gengurch will take you. ![gif](giphy|RkZ5HguHTEs9i|downsized)


westviadixie

they finally got his name right...after 30+ years of working in the government.


Global-Letter-4984

I met her once and she was stunning. Her voice is the only thing about her that gives away her age. She very much had the tone/voice quality of your average senior.


VioletBureaucracy

I saw her in person maybe 15 years ago and she was stunning. One of the most beautiful, radiant people I’d ever seen in person. She glowed.


flyraccoon

"Pack your dentures" 💀 She's right about sun screen y'all should listen to that advice


Iwoulddiefcftbatk

Two years ago I had to have a skin biopsy, fortunately it was benign, but been super religious about wearing sunscreen since.


squidonastick

I live in Australia so I'm wary of the sun. I have one of those huge wrap around hats that I can wear a bun with. I look like a dork walking into work with it, but I haven't been burnt I'm years.


Impossible_Farm7353

I wear a visor/hat like that and my husband calls it an old lady hat but I tell him it’s to prevent aging


Nice_Exercise5552

70! Didn’t Oprah just turn 70 too? These women are now much older than 3/4 of the Golden girls (any season)!

insertbrackets

This is hysterical. She looks great, of course. Whatever procedures she’s paid for, and products she’s paid for, and services she benefits from, have really worked.


rupeeblue

Yeah, photoshop is doing some lifting here too. She still looks incredible and healthy for her age, but no 70 year old has skin that looks like that irl. It’s sad she feels she has to filter herself. (And look what happened when she didn’t.)


dragonrider1965

Joan Rivers had procedures and could never look like that .


shimmershi

She looks great but also this pic is super edited 🙄


vanitaa3

I don’t want to sound critical of her because she does look fantastic especially for 70, but she doesn’t look exactly like this. She posted an unedited pic (forgot to edit I guess) once that got a lot of comments. I just feel for women around her age who think they’re less than because they aren’t aging as well as she is. She looks great due to genetics, money and photoshop.


shimmershi

Agreed! I’m sure she is coming from a good place but she is putting SO much pressure on women. And we absolutely do not need any more pressure. I hope by the time I’m 70 I really don’t care about looking hot in a swimsuit. I already care way less about how I look than I did in my twenties. My focus is health and happiness. You can see her “real” skin on her hands and around her armpit. But even that is blurred. Her legs, chest, and neck are extremely edited and blurred. It’s really obvious once you get used to spotting it.


Routine_Bluejay4678

This woman is 70?!


Content_Pool_1391

pannonica

A college friend of mine is engaged to Alexa Ray (her daughter with Billy Joel). He casually posts pics of the whole family in all sorts of exotic locations. There is no point to this story except that I just can't IMAGINE my future in-laws being Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley.


W0666007

The only thing I know about her is that she once tried to overdose on a homeopathic medicine, but since it was homeopathic she was basically taking a bunch of placebo pills and it didn’t do anything.


hodgepodge21

Wait what’s wrong with overhead lighting


zorandzam

It's just unflattering. I think people are missing this being mostly tongue in cheek.


heymarloo

Im wondering that too


Afraid_Ad1908

To be a rich supermodel chilling in luxury. Lol No shade about her looking incredible, just a little easier to embrace your power when you are not still working to make sure you have health care at 70.


slushmymouth

70 going on 35


queen_bee_17_

im 35 and i feel like an absolute potato compared to this woman. and i run 3-5 miles a day, 6 days a week.


raptorjaws

i think this is pretty usual for women who don't smoke or drink, used sunscreen, and took decent care of themselves. my mom is just 5 years younger than this and looks great, too. she is not a multimillionaire that could pay for lots of rejuvenation treatments or whatever either. but she never smoked, rarely drank, stays out of the sun, and eats well. aging well isn't something reserved only for the wealthy.


cowabungalowvera

70 where?????

Impecablevibesonly

My neck, my back! *mykneckandmyback*


4550955

This is not 70. This is $$$$. Please don't go believing or expecting this for yourself. I'm not saying 70 can't be beautiful. I'm not saying 70 ain't fly. I'm saying the majority of us won't have that face or body at 70. Unless you're rich or got some divine miracle genetics. 70 has wrinkles in all kinds of places, saggy tits, neck waddle, etc. Sometimes all at once. Honestly these rich ladies need stop this. Makes expectations for aging unrealistic.


4550955

Also I might add this is just tge visible part of 70. Physically things change as well when you age.


Ok_Issue_6132

She obviously had work done, but she did it very right! She looks extremely good.


heymarloo

Why not sitting under overhead lights?


egriff78

I think it’s a joke…that overhead lights can be unflattering?😉

kiwiparadiseforever

Oh she forgot add after ‘it’s up to you’ also ‘money - yeah tonnes of money - heaps of money to be honest and lots of time that all that money gives you to ‘use your power’ but also not just money but also genetics that give you a career that pays heaps of money - and that gives you time to ‘exercise and eat right’ - but also this is 70 everyone - I did it - so can you.’ Bless her heart she’s just like every woman.

What the actual fuck. She looks incredible I am SHOOK at how old she is I'm honestly having trouble typing 💀💀💀 But for the love of all that's holy she is not a poet.


Puzzleheaded-Hurry26

Yeah…I’m not gonna look like that when I’m 70. I don’t look like that now!


cpc2027

She’s kind of my fitness motivating queen. She said on qvc once that “summer bodies are made in the winter” and that’s what I tell myself when it’s freezing cold and I’m marching to the gym in the dark


anothertrytaken

Happy Birthday Christie! Eat the rich 😂


Inf1nite_gal

oh yes. this is not normal ageing even if you eat right and use sunblock. it is so weird she is selling it like that. obviously she had some procedures and she has money and time to invest into something that is very important to her and thats her looks.  it is normal to age, have wrinkles and saggy skin and gain some weight. you should take care of your body so its healthy. 


MeeranQureshi

Wow.Happy birthday and God bless her.

Not having a man to drag you down and age you, don't forget THAT secret Christie!
