How Old Are Mortimer And Whitehouse

So, I was scrolling through Netflix the other day, you know, just casually browsing for something to watch, when I stumbled upon "Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing". Now, I've always been a fan of a good laugh, and these two seemed like they'd deliver. But then it hit me, I had no idea how old they were! I mean, they're clearly not spring chickens, but they've still got that youthful spark, you know?

Now, I could've just googled it, but where's the fun in that? I decided to do a little digging, and here's what I found out about our beloved comedic duo, Mortimer and Whitehouse.

Paul Whitehouse - The Younger of the Two

Alright, so let's start with Paul Whitehouse. Born on May 17, 1958, in Peckham, South London, Paul is the younger of the two. That's right, he's a Taurus, which explains his stubbornness - I'm kidding, Paul!

Now, you might be thinking, "73? That's not so bad!" And you're right, 73 is the new 50, or so they say. But when you consider that Paul started his comedy career in the late 80s, it's quite impressive that he's still going strong. He's like a fine wine, he just keeps getting better with age.

Bob Mortimer - The Elder Statesman

Now, let's talk about Bob Mortimer. Born on May 23, 1959, in Middlesbrough, Bob is the elder statesman of the pair. That's right, he's also a Taurus, which means they're both as stubborn as each other. No wonder they get along so well!

Bob is a year older than Paul, making him 74 years young. Now, I know what you're thinking, "74? How does he still have that much energy?" Well, folks, it's all about maintaining that youthful spirit. And let's not forget, Bob's been in the comedy game since the early 90s, so he's had plenty of practice at keeping up that energy.

Age is Just a Number

You know, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that age really is just a number. These two are proof that you don't have to be a spring chicken to make people laugh. They've got this unique dynamic, this banter that just works, and it doesn't matter how old they are.

So, the next time you're watching "Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing", remember that you're watching two comedic legends who have been making us laugh for decades. And who knows, maybe they'll still be at it in another 20 years. After all, age is just a number, right?
