Who Is Half Your Age?

Ok, we covered twice your age – how about half?

I’m 42 – born in 1968, so 21-year-olds are half that (damn, I find that scary). From the Wikipedia list of those born in 1989, we have:

Jake Lloyd
Chris Brown
Freddy Adu
Joe Jonas
Michelle Wie
Taylor Swift
Jordin Sparks
Damn kids…

Morgan Lily (you’ll of course recognize her as the young daughter in the somewhat recent film 2012)
Tatum McCann (you’ll of course recognize her as the young daughter in the somewhat recent film Click)

I feel old.

I’ve been thinking of this since the other thread. Lots of famous people are half my age , but the most important person to me is my daughter. :wink:

Lee Malvo

Bindi Irwin was the only child I recognised, the scary part is that a soon to be teenager was born in 1998! Does not compute

This shocked the hell out of me.

Aren’t those little children?

Half my age would be born in 1994. Wikipedia doesn’t have a very extensive list, but I’m actually finding people I’ve actually HEARD of, unlike when I looked through the first few pages of those born in 1942 and 1943…4 of them, all singers. 3 Japanese and part of the same group.

Justin Bieber

Plus half of C-ute: Saki Nakajima, Airi Suzuki, and Chisato Okai.

From the other thread I learned that Dopers RandMcnally, Maiira, and The Man With The Golden Gun are half my age. Durn whippersnappers!

Also from 1987:

Ellen Page
Ke$ha
Joss Stone
Maria Sharapova
Tim Tebow
Blake Lively
Hilary Duff
Zac Efron

I’ll be 44 this year, born in 1967, so it’s the young whippersnappers born in 1989 who are half my age.

This includes all of Hal’s list and my own charming son. Uppity kids!

I’m 25, but it’s 2011, so call that 26 years.

1998:

Elle Fanning
Jaden Smith

I’m turning 34 in a three months, so that makes half my age 17:
