Are you kidding? He aged terribly. Lately looking like the uncle you don’t want your kids around.
I'm wondering if he was in the sun a lot? he ;ooked "old" back then!

Kind of you to stop by and comment on someone you “barely ever know.”

I felt the way you’re feeling when George Michael died on Christmas Day a few years ago.

Wow, you must be an amazing human being for making a pointless comment on a internet board. What other amazingly pointless things do you do?

He was a truly nice and generous man - never took himself too seriously and wasn’t a jerk even at the height of his fame.
I feel very sad about his death too. Too young in real life and forever young in my mind.

Good job?
I agree with PPs. I’’m a millennial, and it made me surprisingly sad.

RIP, Luke Perry.
90210 then Melrose Place. The best TV days of my life. Something to look forward to without being able to binge watch.
Those were the days!
OP, as someone said either upthread or in a different thread, I think his passing is a big wake up call to those of us in the same age range and a reminder that we are not invincible.
For whatever reason Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain's deaths left me feeling extremely sad as well. Obviously they took their own lives and Luke Perry did not but all of these losses make me very sad.
Peach Pit Forever!

Because some of us were young tweens when the show premiered and were in college when it ended. It was an entertainment mainstay of adolescence.
I can appreciate that it was a pretty crappy show, but to a 9-year-old, it was glamour and sophistication incarnate.

Same age bracket? It hits closer to home when somebody we consider part of our peer group die from something we equate with “old people”. I’m 48 and it reminds me as young as I feel and look, we are middle aged and have fewer years ahead than behind.

I watched the show. And it was on from college through my 20’s. But it wasn’t a cornerstone show for me. I thought Dylan and Brandon were cute. And loved the prime time soap opera storylines. And it was good to see him on Riverdale. But he wasn’t a major crush for me.
Why is his death hitting me so hard?
