You know what is really weird? O'Toole in Lawrence is only 7 years younger than O'Toole in Lion. And the latter is probably only about 7 years older than his "son", Anthony Hopkins.
That is acting!

Wow. 7 years only? But he looks so dashing in Lawrence and so grizzly in The Lion in Winter! Dayum. Good job. Or maybe I should also congratulate the makeup people.
Didn't Laurence Harvey and Angela Landsbury have something like, I don't know, only 2 year difference in age when they played son & mother in The Manchurian Candidate? Surely that's some kind of a record.
Also, I have decided that the real reason Immortals are infertile is that otherwise Duncan would be the father of half Europe by now.
Dude. He'd have to take an exhaustive family history before he could sleep with anyone!
Or not, if incest is your kink.

What's the difference in age between Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie? (Who played his mother in that Alexander flick.)
I say we give our kudos to the makeup crew of LiW, as Peter O'Toole still looked pretty dang nummy in My Favorite Year, which was made in what, 1980?
Someone just recced the X-Files Magician AU on crack_van. That is the series I'm thinking of, isn't it?
With wizards? Yeah.
Man, I remember that story. I read the first book of that--there were many books, at least three or four-- because many people were raving about the series, then gave up. So-so writing, too much crack for my palate.
From the crack_van rec:
Have you ever had the desire to see Mulder as a Mage? Wanted a good fic where Scully is Healer with magical powers?
Unfortunately, no.
I forget how far I got into the series, but I think it was quite a bit. And I think it was off a rec from Chronicle X.
Have you ever wanted a slap in the belly with a wet halibut?
Um, no?
Although how funny was it that my friendslist gained a new community dedicated to codswalloping ninny heroes in fiction this week? Very funny.
