How Old Is Danny Glover And Mel Gibson

Lethal Weapon fans have been left stunned after realising that Danny Glover was only 41 in the hit film.

The actor, 76, co-starred with Mel Gibson in the buddy cop action movie as Roger Murtaugh, which was released in 1987.

And his iconic character was known for saying he was “too old for this s***” when the officers found themselves in sticky situations.

One tweeted: “Chasing my toddler this morning I realised Danny Glover was only 41 in Lethal Weapon when he muttered ‘I’m too old for this s***’ and now I need to go lay down a minute.”

“I’m 11 years older than Danny Glover when he said he was getting too old for this s***,” said another stunned fan.

Somebody else posted: “Learned the other day that when Danny Glover was saying he was ‘too old for this s***’ in the original LETHAL WEAPON he was 41, a full year YOUNGER than I am now.”

Another remarked: “And apparently Danny Glover was only about 41 when he was ‘too old for this s***’ in the original Lethal Weapon. I turn 39 next year.”

One posted: “I’m sure it existed before Lethal Weapon, if not literally, then definitely in spirit, but when I found out that Danny Glover was 41 when Lethal Weapon came out, him uttering that line that became so ridiculous.”

Lethal Weapon starred Mel as Sergeant Martin Riggs and Danny as Sergeant Roger Murtaugh, who was actually supposed to be a few years older than the actor himself.
