What is “hard-hitting journalism” to the NY Post? Stalking and clothes-shaming a 94 year old actor.

      I’m pretty sure journalism and the New York Post parted company many moons ago.

      If I make it to 94 y’all gonna be lucky if I’m not at the gas station dick swinging. 5 years and change from a Century Old. You couldn’t tell me shit.

    3. The New York Post is a trash paper, often bordering on tabloid if not outright propaganda.

      I think I remember hearing once that Daniel Radcliffe wore an identical outfit for weeks/months because it would be harder for them to sell the photos, because you couldn’t tell what day they were from.

    5. Yes, because I’m sure no one is doing laundry for him.

    6. 94?!? Holy crap. I had to go look for the last thing I saw him in and it was Mooseport 20 years ago….

      If I was almost a century old, rich, an accomplished actor and fit enough to get coffee at the gas station I will wear what ever I fuccing want. I might have 30 grey fleece vests and 200 plaid shits too just cuz!

    8. You can’t do much else but laugh. I do hope they are selfaware enough to understand how much of a clown they are for writing this article.

      Stopped trusting the new york post when they said JLO was too big to share the halftime show with Shakira

    10. Holy shit. I’m only 51 and you could snap me in the same jeans and flannel a few DAYS apart without breaking a sweat. Who gives a shit?

    11. I never would have recognized him. NY Post is trash. I want to see him hit 100. He’s a gem.

      If you follow my 92 year old mom for a week you’ll find the same thing. Funny how old people all seem to realize that it’s okay to just wear clothes and not worry about if what you’re wearing is fresh and new

      94 and has a locked an loaded “casual going out” outfit? Sounds like a damn fine quality of life.

    14. I’m not even from the US and this makes me wanna boycott the NY post. What are they gonna post an article on Elvis Presley wearing the same outfit since 1977???

    15. I’m sure at the Post, they just throw their clothes away after wearing them once.

    16. Poor guy, he probably wanted to go out quietly with fond memories. Instead he has this asshole stalking him waiting for Gene to checkout so he can capitalize on his passing.

    17. Would be a shame if someone hung out at the entrance of the NY Post taking pics of all the employees going in and posted every time they wore the same outfit.

    18. Yeah, I recently worked for a long while in senior living, from IL to MSC to nursing… he’s 94 years old, that he’s out and about like that is absolutely fantastic. But, yes, he isn’t going to look just like he did 30 years ago, and he’s going to have favorite and comfortable clothes… frankly, can we get pics of all the Post reporters each day to see if they repeat clothes over the course of a month, to be sure they wouldn’t do anything like “repeat an outfit” over “weeks”? Lordy, I’m surprised how mad that piece made me, but there is nothing redeeming about it, imho.

      Wow, that makes me feel old. I always loved Gene Hackman back in the day.

      94 yrs old and still smoking cigarettes, I’m assuming that box of smokes were for him.

    21. I’m more amazed that Gene Hackman is 94. Have not seen him recently and would’ve guessed he was significantly younger than that based on the image I have of him in my head.

    22. hankscorpiox on

      What are you outfit tracking him?! Maybe he’s an outfit repeater, but you’re an outfit rememberer which is just as pathetic!

    23. UnableClick4 on

      “Nearly identical outfit from weeks earlier”? Pathetic. I’ve worn the same pair of pants for months on end. As long as you do laundry overnight, who needs more than like 2-3 comfortable outfits?

    24. yetagainitry on

      They’re shocked that someone would wear the same outfit weeks later? Sorry to break it to you NY Post, but you’ll catch me in the same outfit next week at the latest.

      God forbid he reached the age where you start giving a shit what people think

    26. The same clothes from weeks ago? For shame Gene, for shame. At 94 years old you should be setting the fashion trends any and all age groups. I mean, c’mon man you’re famous for goodness sakes! /s Seriously though, For ANY person to be out walking alone and unaided at 94 they should be commended, not ridiculed.

    27. Wait- what?? I always wear outfits from weeks earlier! I’m I the only one??? Does everyone else wear brand new clothes every day?

      Cool so he rewears his clothes? Looks like a comfy outfit. Think he looks pretty cool for his age.
