Can you believe he is still making movies and having a big impact on our world.

He is remarkable.

I agree. he is an amazing man.

Did you know that, at the very beginning of his career, he was rejected for TV because his teeth were "too big"? Apparently, he only got an opportunity to appear when the usual presenter was sick and he took over the slot as a fill-in. It was on the BBC website somewhere.

He lives near Richmond, where I lived as a teenager.

Trust TV to reject someone for a silly thing like their teeth, when they turn out to be one of the most famous TV personalities ever.
It is hard to believe he is 100, he is still so active.

This is worth reading.
