5X AWESOME OLDIES TO FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM NOW
The world of celebrity social media may be dominated by handsome young celebs, but take a closer look and you'll find quite a few cool 70-somethings who are just as connected with their fans.
Ready for a different ‘vibe’ in your Instagram feed? Then these 5 celebrities over 70 are definitely worth following:
1. Betty White
Betty is a former glamour model and winner of multiple Emmy Awards for her roles in both Mary Tyler Moore (1975 and 1976), The Golden Girls (1986) and The John Larroquette Show (1996). Betty lives in LA and is a true ‘groundbreaking grandma’ who proves that laughter is the best medicine for just about everything in life. Oh, and she overloads her fans on Instagram with pictures of her beloved animals. How cute.
2. Larry King
In 2010, Larry decided to say goodbye to his mega-successful interview show ‘Larry King Live’ at the age of 77. But not that the best man has gone to sit behind the geraniums, no way, hell no. The now 81-year-old was just last week in Israel and posted one travel photo after another. INCLUDING hashtags.
3. Patrick Stewart
Patrick is a legend in the world of theater, television, and film. He has played in dozens of roles: from Star Trek to X-Men. He has a loyal fanbase on Instagram and engages with thousands of readers on a variety of issues: from saving whales to the best taco spots in LA. He’s not shy about posting pictures in sunglasses and swim trunks either. Funny guy.
4. Ian McKellen
Want to catch a glimpse of the daily life of an entertainment legend? Just like his friend Patrick, actor Ian sees social media as a way to stay connected with his fans. The 76-year-old became known as wizard Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings.
5. Jane Goodall
Jane might just be the coolest activist ever. The 81-year-old uses social media to inspire people around the world and raise awareness about natural sanctuaries. And to make the dummies who still don’t realize that cutting down rainforests and trading in ivory is really not okay aware of this. She travels all over the world, so for cool monkey and elephant photos, you’re in the right place.
