You guys seem surprised that Jerry is so ugly. Actually he's been an ugly dude since his teen years. So no big whoop. He's used to it.

Look at that sly grin. I think he just got a peek under Miss Lander's skirt.
As far as how he looks....who cares. I'd trade places with him in a heartbeat. He's a freakin ICON.

Yes most of us know what psoriasis is but for those that don't, now they do. This is a website all about snark. That is why TMZ posts pics like this. Yes, none of us are without our own foibles and we are not all supermodels sitting behind the computer either.
Most of us are just commenting on the craggy skin. Deep-set wrinkles have nothing to do with psoriasis. And believe me, we all know age is creeping up on us, too. Soon we all will be the butt of other youngsters jokes. I think TMZ should lay off old-timers myself but TMZ is TMZ.

The man looks like a lot of 62 yr old men. If he had botox, you'd be bumming on him for that.
Oh my dad looks better and he's 70 yrs old -> well some people have good aging genes and some people don't. Some people, like your dad took care of himself and some people don't.
Give the beav a break

Jerry was already an adult when my little brother Teddy and I used to see him and Tony Dow at the local Bob's Big Boy in our neighborhood. They were both big kids to us, and they were nice to us. Nice. It was rare. Most of the Big Kids we ran into in the Hollywood area, were not. They were cruel as dirt.
Yes obviously, my little bro had the same name as the character in the TV show, Leave It To Beaver. I know. We've heard the same jokes that Jerry and Tony have heard. We grew up in Hollywood. It was difficult to avoid. Being the big brother of THAT kid, I naturally was protective. Even though Jerry was an adult, when I was a little kid, I still had similar protective feelings about him, even when I was in kintergarden. Strange, I feel the same way now. Gee, Where's Tony Dow, when you need him.
Jerry was nice to us little kids in REAL LIFE. All the kids in our neighborhood loved these guys. In REALITY. They were nice to us. They deserve that much recognition. Some of you people make me sad.
Have a nice Holiday Season, Beav. Teddy's Big Brother remember's you well.
Pierce Aero, Super Hero.

Jerry Mathers was on a television show on which I worked in the mid 1980s, so I guess that would have made him in his 40s. I was in my mid-20s.
I have to admit, I was shocked when I saw him at how he had grown up - he certainly did not retain the cuteness or even any of the attractiveness he had as a young child. His face was quite red and was really rugged (not in a good way).
My brother has psoriasis, and I didn't recognize what was on his face to be anything resembling what I knew to be psoriasis, but I guess it could have been.
Anyway, my point isn't about psoriasis.
In a second, my shock subsided, and Mr. Mathers and I continued on with our business, and he was such a kind, unimposing and meek man.
I was immediately embarrassed at my own shallowness. I quickly became aware that any ugliness between the two of us existed only in my own heart and I was ashamed of myself, and rightly so.
Fortunately, I learned my lesson.

I just made a comment, but then I read this one:
34. People need to know that Mathers has been a lifelong diabetic.

That made me ask the obvious question - why?
Why do people need to know that?
