Just found this newspaper article in a Belgian newspaper.
http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/929/TV-Gids/artic...Gyver-nog.dhtmlDo you still recognise MacGyver?
23 years ago the last episode of MacGyver was aired. These pictures proof that time hasn't stopped. The brisk action hero from than enjoys life now with a moustache and a belly. Talk about transformation.
There was a time Richard Dean Anderson (65) was a man who could escape the weirdest situations with house, kitchen and garden stuff. Now he lives a simple life in Los Angeles.
There's no doubt: the American actor left his marks on the television landscape. After all these years even the hashtag #MacGyverism spiced with all inventive solutions u can think remains intact.
After 'MacGyver' Richard Dean Anderson became Colonel Jack O' Neill for the television show 'Stargate SG-1'. In 1996 he found love with Apryl Prose, two years later he became the proud daddy of daughter Wylie Quinn. From then on Richard Dean slowly builded down his career to take care of his family.
Funny, they always seems to get snapshots or interview him when he's doing groceries.
Also the reactions on the articles are very positive about him.
1. An known American without attitude. A dying species.
2. He's always nice to people who recognise him, no? I've seen those car commercials a few years ago where he makes fun of himself and his weight.
3. MacGyver, The A-Team and The Dukes of Hazzard... Those were the days.
4. Looks like a nice guy. Going to the grocery shop and drive a normal car.
5. Still a good looking man.
6. Can't stay forever young, right?
7. My favorite actor with in my opinion the most talked about tv-show.
8. I learned how to make smokescreen thanks to MacGyver. And it even works too.
9. Wow, he became a solid rocker. Wouldn't like to catch him when he stagedives!
10. He became unrecognizable. You see that the ravages of time has it's effect on men too. Only they accept it and starts to enjoy life.
11. A guy without attitude! Great!
12. Almost unrecognizable! Sometimes we think we never 'change', until we see a picture of thirty years ago. I hope we age gracefully.
13. In the last episodes of Stargate - in SG Universe he made a few appearances, I think - he clearly gained weight. Now he really started to enjoy life. He deserves it and he still one of my favorite actors.
14. An old cigar box was my MacGyver kit for years. Hiking with the backpack there was always what presented a solution (pin, ammonia, bottle, cotton balls, tin foil, it was all in there)... 'copy behaviour of myself, I suppose?
15. MacGyver was great. I wouldn't recognise him if I met him. Such a change of face.
16. Unrecognizable, that's right, but I think he looks like an awesome dude.
Usually when I read reactions on articles they are very negative but in this case... what a switch.
I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver.
Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you.
It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.
