“This is going to lead to a clone of Ricardo Montalban becoming a dictator. At least we’ll have a dictator with a cool, suave accent.”
Ricardo Montalban was pretty old when he did the movie, but he was nonetheless a frightening adversary. People thought that he was wearing a body suit and/or some kind of makeup - but the makers of the Star Trek II swore that what you saw on the screen was the body of a 61-year old man in darned good shape.
And, it might not be that bad after all - I’m sure he would “explain it” to any terrorists.
As a 59 year old personal trainer, let me assure you that most people can have darn good shapes if they want it, well into older age. I like to run 5Ks and I’ve seen 90 year olds finishing the races. And look at Jack LaLanne in his later years. :-D He finally started losing it in his 90s, and even then he was doing great for his age and he looked good.
