This leaves me quite dissatisfied with the world.

I can fix this for you. Garry Newman is 41 and new is spelled correctly. https://garry.net/

Now you're just making me upset by reminding me that some people spell Gary with an unnecessary extra R.

And they spell it like that literally all the time, even on Wikipedia! I don't know if it's just a common typo, but it could really mislead people to believe that his name isn't Gay Oldman.

I don't know why I expected Gary Numan to be a fat guy with glasses.

Jesus, that second photo looks like a mugshot

One of my strong memories from high school, even though it was almost 30 years ago, was this coming on the radio while in my friend's car and he suddenly belted out, "here in my car / I keep plenty of cheese / and it smells really bad / people shouldn't keep food in cars."

I remember it so well I almost expect to hear it every time I hear the song.

Jesus christ the "you got a friend in me" guy is much younger than I imagined.... Oh Randy!

Whenever I hear about Gary Oldman I think about John Oldman from "The Man From Earth". Good movie I thought.

I have a similar problem with Gary Oldman, except I always think of Gary Coleman i.e. "What you talkin 'bout, Willis?"
