President Obama is 50 this year - Genuinely surprised here.

    I had him pegged as late 30's / very early 40's myself. I thought he was making a gag in this speech about Donald Trump questioning his American credentials. It's actually quite witty / funny (even if he had people write it for him :D )



    So when he said nobody had seen the video footage of his birth in 50 years I thought it was another joke until a quick google and wiki search confirms he is indeed 50 years old this August.

    My perception of him always had him much younger.

    Then again it's better than being put into the situation where "I thought she was 18 officer" gets used :)

    Hes an advertisement for healthy eating, regular exercise and clean living in general. He has got noticeably older in the last 2 years though.

    I think he started off looking in his 30;s a few years ago to looking well in his 40's of late . Something aged him .

    Football managment and being President of the United States are both pretty much guaranteed to age a man

    Around 5 a day apparently, and clearly often goes near enough a full day without a cigarette (as he never smokes when there is a camera around).
    He's not exactly Dot Cotton.

    Black skin does tend to age more slowly all right - something to do with melanin. Recently I was talking to a black woman whom I thought was about mid 30s and she's a 46-year-old grandmother.
