You probably know him as Del Boy Trotter from Only Fools and Horses. That show started in 1981. He was just 41 then.
Now, he’s double that age. And yet, he could still sell you a suitcase full of knocked-off perfume.
Think about it. He played a young, spivvy wheeler-dealer. Now he’s a national treasure who’s older than most prime ministers.
The Secret (It’s Not a Secret)
How does he do it? He works constantly. He never retired. He just kept saying “Yes” to scripts.
He also married late—at age 61. He had his daughter, Sophie Mae, when he was 61 too. That is pure, stubborn joy.
Most men his age are gardening. He was changing nappies. Legend.
