He looks like he has aged a lot


Just saw him on a promo for the show "First Impressions" and he seems to have aged a lot the last couple of years. Looked old for 40 on the promo. Anyone else see this?

Um..yeah. ..what the hell?? I have to Google this he looks sick actually. ..poor guy looks horrible. Just saw the promo too

He either has some type of disease or he lied about his birthdate and is actually 50 years old. Just saying.

I was just coming on here to say the same exact thing. I literally couldn't believe it was him. He always had such boyish good looks, even into his 30's. I doubt he would be doing this new show if he were ill but in addition to looking much older than 40 he also just didn't look well. It's also sad seeing him and Dana Carvey doing that show. I guess work is work and better than nothing but damn are their careers dead.

If you Google "is Freddie..." first thing you get before you can even ask is "...Prinze Jr sick", so I guess a lot of people have noticed this besides us (I thought the same thing when I saw the commercial). It said he had spinal surgery in November 2015, and he mentioned "disc issues"; I'm not sure exactly what they were but being in constant pain, if that was a symptom, can sure age the heck out of you fast. Plus he doesn't dye his hair like most actors his age do, which actually I find refreshing, but it does add to how old he looked, at least to me and especially as I haven't seen him in anything since his 90s movies.

Money does not seem to be Dana's first priority. Some years ago, when Danny Gans left the Rio in Las Vegas, Carvey was offered a residency for $10 million a year for five years. He opted for a simpler life and still does regular stints at the Orleans in Vegas and elsewhere. I'd also suggest that his botched bypass surgery in 1997 greatly informed how he now chooses to live. Once would be bad enough, but he had to go through the ordeal twice because the surgeon had operated on the wrong artery. Dana sued and won. One might imagine the settlement was substantial.

I was also shocked. Nobody expects him to look like he did in I know what you did last summer but 40 is still pretty young and he looks awful. Is it health, drugs or drinking? It's to bad because he was a good looking dude. I was in high school when he was at his biggest and every girl in my age group was in love with him.

I saw him hosting Dana Carvey's impression reality contest show. I didn't recognize him until he said his name. I really was surprised by how much he has changed in the last few years. I had to come on here to see if anyone else noticed.

Don't really understand what the hell anyone is talking about on this thread????

I just googled him expecting to see how bad he has deteriorated and saw nothing if the sort. The only thing I noticed that does make him appear a little older is how grey his hair has gone. Otherwise I think he looks just fine.

I'd love to see the state of some of the keyboard warriors who hang about the IMDB forums passing judgment on a daily basis. I bet some of you aren't the picture of beauty and health.
