8. Jerry Lewis – 90 Years Old
Most people remember Jerry Lewis as one half of the comedic duo with Dean Martin. The two were inseparable and insanely popular around the world. Lewis and Martin would appear in no less than 16 films together, until their partnership died off in 1956. After that, Lewis would create and flourish in a solo career, one that he still upholds today, as seen in his latest film The Trust.
Now at 90 years old, Lewis isn’t as zany as he once was and he’s had some health issues in the past. His public appearances have dropped off dramatically in recent years, so we hope everything is going well for the comedian. If you’re trying to picture him, think back to the original The Nutty Professor, not the Eddie Murphy one. You know, the guy who’s always cross-eyed and looking like a goof? That’s Jerry Lewis in a nutshell.
