How Old Is Mortimer And Whitehouse

So, there I was, scrolling through Netflix the other night, you know, just casually looking for something to binge-watch. And then, boom! I stumbled upon "Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing". Now, I've always been a fan of a good laugh, and these two, Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer, they've got this comedic chemistry that's just... well, it's like they're two old friends trying to outdo each other with the silliest jokes. I was hooked!

But then, it got me thinking, "How old are these guys, anyway?" I mean, they've been around for ages, it feels like. But then again, who hasn't? They're like the British comedy equivalent of that old wine that's been in your grandma's cabinet forever, you know? The one she swears is 'vintage', but you're not quite sure if it's just gone off.

Anyway, I decided to do a little digging. You know, for science. Or, you know, just for my own curiosity. Turns out, these two have been making us laugh for quite some time now. Paul Whitehouse, the taller, lankier one, was born on May 5, 1958. That makes him... let me do the math here... carry the two... oh, who am I kidding, I'm terrible at math. But yeah, he's 63 this year!

And Bob Mortimer, the one with the... unique sense of style? He's a year younger, born on May 23, 1959. So, he's turning 62 this year. I know, right? They're practically ancient! Just kidding, just kidding. They're like fine wine, remember? They just keep getting better with age.

But seriously, these two have been around the block a few times. They've been performing together since the late 80s, can you believe it? That's like, what, 30 years? And they're still going strong. They've done shows like "The Fast Show", "Harry Enfield and Chums", and even "The League of Gentlemen". And now, they're catching fish and making us laugh on "Gone Fishing".

So, there you have it. Paul Whitehouse is 63, Bob Mortimer is 62, and together, they're a comedy powerhouse that's been making us laugh for decades. And you know what? I think they're only just getting started. After all, they've still got plenty of fish to catch, and plenty of jokes to tell. And I, for one, can't wait to see what they do next.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some binge-watching to do. "Gone Fishing", anyone?
