Fans have gone into meltdown after realizing that Hollywood legends Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are actually older than Tim Walz.

Ever since the Democratic politician was announced as Presidential hopeful Kamala Harris’ pick for vice president, he has been under the microscope like never before.

However, many have had their minds blown after learning that the candidate turned 60 in April, meaning he is a few months younger than the Fight Club legend, who hit the milestone in December.

Top Gun: Maverick’s Tom celebrated his 62nd birthday last month but has barely aged in the last few decades, and still looks very similar to when he first stepped into the spotlight.

Taking to Twitter, Cassandra Hartford couldn’t get over the realization that Tim is actually younger than the movie stars, posting pictures of the trio to hammer the point home.

‘Guy in the middle is the youngest. Wild,’ she penned.

Followers couldn’t help touching on the movie backgrounds of the two actors, joking that they are ageing backwards so the comparison is ‘unfair’.

Sven Peake laughed: ‘Brad Pitt ages in reverse. I’ve seen the movie.’

Eric Ansley Diaz agreed: ‘That’s not entirely fair when the ones on the left and right are famously vampires.’

While others rushed to defend Tim as Arthur insisted: ‘The man in the middle was also a teacher and held public office. Some of the most stressful jobs out there.’

LovelyAndyUK penned: ‘Mad how the two guys in an industry where looks matter and have had endless beautification and procedures look better. ABSOLUTELY MAD!’

‘He doesn’t look older at all,’ SkrueBlueBird suggested. ‘Look closer – his skin is less wrinkled than both of them, especially Pitt. They all look great!’

As Chaps added: ‘Well, aside from the fact that the two actors started off far better looking than the vast majority of guys, they’ve also had personal trainers, nutritionists, plastic surgery consultants, etc.

‘Walz is a regular guy, like most of us.’

Current VP Kamala became the presidential nominee for the Democratic party last month after President Joe Biden stepped down.

Shortly after, she publicly selected Tim as her running mate ahead of November’s election and they have been met with a huge wave of praise in Hollywood.

Over the weekend, they got a surge of support by the Foo Fighters after Donald Trump used their song, My Hero, at a Republican rally last week.

The rockers’ 1998 hit played out as the controversial Republican candidate introduced Robert F Kennedy Jr to the stage in Arizona.

Following the move, the Foos confirmed that they were not asked permission for the usage, and would not have granted it if they had been approached.

Representatives told Billboard that ‘appropriate actions are being taken’, and also confirmed that any royalties they receive from the unpermitted usage will be ‘donated to the Harris/Walz campaign’.

Clearing up any confusion, the group’s Twitter page was asked whether they allowed for My Hero to be played and simply replied ‘no’.

They then shared a screenshot of the interaction with the message: ‘Let us be clear’.
