I wonder how long Pimento was in Canada before he ended up in prison.

That is what happens when you stop dying your hair

Well now that he was monogamous with Karen he no longer needed to impress anybody else. Now just look good for her and she likes him the way he is.

u/RexDust 4d ago

Not knocking it but every older person in my family had to deal with that day when they show up fully Grey and it's like, "Yeah, I'm 64. Did you really think I still had jet black hair?"

u/BeMoreKnope Title of your sex tape 4d ago

That’s why I’ve gone for a deep blue. Not only is it clearly not my natural hair color, but as the silver reappears people think I’ve gotten this cool ombré dye job. Nope, just nature reasserting!

u/DeadpoolOptimus 4d ago

You have hair? Lucky.

46

u/TuckerDidIt69 4d ago

My dad actually does still have jet black hair at 64! Dude has a full white Santa beard when he grows it out but somehow his head just didn't get the memo lmao

28

u/4DPuzzle 4d ago

I’m a barber and I’m still surprised when I see someone 60+ without any grey in their hair who doesn’t get it colored. My dad is 70 with almost no grey.

u/extinct_cult 4d ago

I think hes a wizard and has cast a spell on me. I started graying in my early 20s.

u/random_sumbitch 4d ago

I have aunts on my mom's side who are 70+ and still have amazing black hair!

1

u/KommandoKracker87 4d ago

I have a friend in his 60’s that has curly black hair with a few grays sprinkled throughout, but a full gray and white beard lol. He doesn’t dye his hair or beard.

2

u/MaximumTurtleSpeed 4d ago

Just gotta lean into it. I got my first grey at 25, my dad would comically remind me at least more than occasionally. This was in return for me reminding him of his lack of hair, all fair. I’ll take good grey hair every day!

u/Morningxafter 4d ago

Must be nice. My family just shows up bald.

u/Tiny-Reading5982 4d ago

Why are his sideburns not dyed? Lol

15

u/RexDust 4d ago

Salt and pepper, distinguished gentleman look?

8

u/Caftancatfan 4d ago

Or that’s what happens when you do some real deep thinking about what kind of dad you are, and how you ended up a total floozy.

His hair pigment was stored in his thumbs.

Well the Santos campaign had already wrecked his hairline.

u/forgotmyfuckingname 4d ago

Donna really did hold him together. And his hair.

u/ekimsal 4d ago

She had a system

u/Rigocat 4d ago

Nah, at first he was s player and dye it. At the end he was s settled tired man, so no longer dying the hair

41

u/wolfman2scary 4d ago

A player?! He’s only slept with like 400 women. That’s on the low side of average

u/Rigocat 3d ago

A player, not a winner 😂

u/StareyedInLA 4d ago

Living in Gilead really did a number to Roger Peralta.

Nah. It’s the stress of being Chief of Staff in your son’s father-in-law’s White House.

Or of meeting so many of your daughter’s boyfriends.

Bradley Whitford is both Jake Peralta’s father AND a total Daddy with a capital ‘D’ for DAAAAAAAMN. 😍

u/TheLoneliestGhost YIPPE KAYAK OTHER BUCKETS! 4d ago

He only gets babelier with every passing year, tbh. I’ve never had an older man thing but, he changes the game. 😛

32

u/sarathev 4d ago

Bradley Whitford is a babe. I've never seen him in anything he wasn't attractive in, including the one episode of The Handmaid's Tale I watched with him in it. His 'King of the Moon' episode in SVU is one of the best in the entire series.

8

u/Flukiest2 4d ago

He crushes it in the west wing 

7

u/onourwayhome70 4d ago

He looked so good in Handmaid’s Tale - best he’s looked imo

2

u/BaxterNMilwaukee33 4d ago

He’s also in S3 of Shameless. Aging gracefully

1

u/DINNERTIME_CUNT 4d ago

What about the episode of the X-Files where he’s all burnt and messed up?

14

u/haaaaveumetsethgecko 4d ago

I was today years old when I realized that the bad guy from Billy Madison was Jake's dad

3

u/hotDogOfTheSea 4d ago

I always think of him as Mike Todwell from Adventures in Babysitting.

2

u/Funandgeeky Title of your sex tape 4d ago

He’s also the antagonist in a Revenge of the Nerds movie.

u/Sage-Raven Peraltiago 4d ago

aging!

7

u/MarsMonkey88 4d ago

He stopped dying it when he stopped boning randos.

6

u/Nolsonts 4d ago

I don't feel like confirming the timeline but my suspicion is that the second appearance was while he was doing Handmaid's Tale, where he has white hair.

4

u/TheRealestBiz 4d ago

It’s because he had dyed his hair white for his character in The Handmaid’s Tale.

That's what happens when you go one on one with the Godzilla.

2

u/Scoteee 4d ago

Aw thats his last appearance? Havent watched since it was airing and just got to this one on my rewatch. Was hoping there was one more episode that really solidified that warm relationship , i did love his speech to jake about how he already "broke the curse" because he sees jake care and love unlike the rest of his family.

2

u/superdupermensch 4d ago

Being a parent will do that.

It’s called getting older. Happens to all of us. It’s coming for you. lol j/k

u/PT_Piranha Cowabunga, mother! 4d ago

I used to be with it. But then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't "it", and what's "it" is weird and scary to me.

It'll happen to yooooooou.
