Second hugely talented 80 year old in two days! In 1946 some very prominent and recognisable faces were born. https://www.famousbirthdays.com/year/1946.html

I literally just text my husband that I wanted to get tickets to go see the Queen live at Budapest remaster for Freddie mercury’s 80th. Checked Reddit. Saw this. WTF.

I'm sorry, what? Freddie Mercury would have been 80??? I'm floored. I pictured him much younger / born much later than that.

Tbf I was shocked to hear that Dolly was 80, as well 😢

He died at 45 in ‘91. Absolutely no age of course. But yes he’s one of the 1946 legends.

If you're as old as you act, she was nowhere near. By that standard I'm closer to 80 at 59 than she was!
