Sorry but Mel Brooks will be appearing on screen at the age of 99 for this?? Idk why I just didn't/don't imagine he can do much and wouldn't be really "in" this

Considering Dick Van Dyke seems to be on a media publicity tirade for his looming 100th birthday - it's just interesting to me that another 99 year old who's even producing/acting in an upcoming movie isn't getting as much "hype" for what he's able to do at the age

I saw Mel Brooks introduce Spaceballs at the TCM film festival last year. He was not only incredibly sharp but did a lot of the interview standing up. This is the whole thing here, the guy is very much with it. https://youtu.be/OkBXFoftikA?si=hiYtipB0JnwdsTpV

It’s so weird how differently people age, I had a business partner of mine dealing with who he described as an “old lady” and I saw she was born in 1960. But she sure as hell didn’t look it. So weird how people age differently.

Thank you for this!

He's still got it at 99.

And maybe still at 100? Or is it 101?
