We all age at different rates and ways. Jim can do things I can’t, and I’m 11 years younger than him! This is so disrespectful! Honestly! There’s NOTHING wrong with them! And you’re obviously sssooo proud of the way you look, you’ve got a modern picture of yourself as your profile pic- NOT! JIM KEEPS…
Perusing old copies of Smash Hits…Jim is being questioned on whether he is INDEED 22 in the early months of 1982. Doesn’t help when your musical doppelganger (one Billy Currie) has already hit 30.
