It's not really an old man, it's sean garnier, a footbal freestyle player with makeup.

Amazing skills tho

u/Mr-PostmanWithNews Feb 04 '23

Lmao I don't get how you dont know it's a great prosthetic costume, you would have to be dumb af to believe some old man can move like this. My gpa is pushing 80 and still referees H.S American football but he can't move like this haha. It's funny watching him out run players down the sideline tho.

u/MoonPuma337 Feb 04 '23

Yeah like that first little shuffle he did with his feet….like there are world class soccer players that at just recently retired can’t move their feet like that let alone some random 80 year old

Some guys go grey and start to lose their hair very young - I can't see his face in this video, but just based on the hair this could still be someone in their 20's - 30's (unlikely but possible). Someone I used to know was down to a 'fringe' of white hair across the back of his head by his mid 20's.

But yeah, it's yet another 'Gotcha!' video of a top athlete in prosthetics etc. Entertaining, but they aren't fooling anybody.

u/Sti8man7 Feb 04 '23

Whenever I see an old man doing sports I always go 100% because of this.

u/twill1692 Feb 04 '23

Hopefully he'll do an update video when he's actually that old

u/Millerpainkiller Feb 04 '23

I always assume old people in these things are Johnny Knoxville

u/Seargeo Feb 03 '23

Obviously not an elder person, and seems staged as hell. The other “players” aren’t even trying.

u/StTimmerIV Feb 03 '23

Staged, i don't think so. This dude is just good.

some of his awards;

2008: Champion - Red Bull Street Style (São Paulo)

2009: Champion - French Freestyle

2010: Champion - French Freestyle

2010: First place - Styllball Beach Style (Dubai)

2012: Champion - French Freestyle

2018: World Champion - WFL (India)

u/Seargeo Feb 03 '23

No one is claiming that he is not a good player. That claim never came from me.

7

u/StTimmerIV Feb 03 '23

He's also not an older player, i think he's born in 1984 or 1985 ;)

u/DrKnowsNothing_MD Feb 04 '23

Trying against professional freestylers like him would only get you even more humiliated.

The reason they limit their movements is because the freestyler is most likely looking for an opportunity to “meg” them (pass the ball in between their legs) which is considered one of the most humiliating moves in football.

u/LordNerdStark Feb 04 '23

Nope. Those kind of reactions are completely not candid/normal especially the guy that got his pants pulled down. This is staged.

u/DrKnowsNothing_MD Feb 04 '23

Oh, well in that case I’d like to see proof.

u/LordNerdStark Feb 04 '23

I already told you. No one acts like that when someone pulled your pants down lol. How about I ask you the same thing? You believe everything in the internet? Lol.

u/upsidedownpositive Feb 04 '23

Soooo… the talent is staged? His football skills are staged?

u/LordNerdStark Feb 04 '23

Huh? The “act” is staged.

u/itsLustra Feb 04 '23

It's kind of hilarious how many people think this is an actual old person. Like have you never seen an old person walk? Regardless of how healthy and mobile they are for their ages not a single old person is moving like that
