Yes, it was for Skechers shoes. I like those shoes - and I like Ringo, too. He can't need the cash, so perhaps he was just bored and thought 'Oh well, I might as well do that ad for Skechers'.

I loved John Lennon - my fave xx?

Good point - get rid of the tweezers etc grin

And a beard!!

Some of us could grow quite a decent moustache if we were brave enough, Tricia, but I doubt it would have the effect of hiding the signs of ageing...wink

I love Ringo too, but to be realistic, he has done the wise thing for the advert - put on dark glasses and his facial hair hides all the signs of aging.
Which we women can't do (apart from the specs, that helps.)

That advert is truly naff. grin

I think Ringo has grown into his looks. Paul Mc, on the other hand...

Ringo..such a sweet guy..back in the old days we didnt rate him, but he turned out to be the most grounded of them all.

Oh.... I love Ringo.
In the early days the other Beatles were the handsome ones but I think Ringo has aged very well.

It was him, yes he does look good.

If it was him he doesn't look as if he has aged very much - a touch of the Dorian Gray's me thinks??? wink

I thought it was a "look-a-like"!

Anya Tue 12-Apr-16 07:45:16

Yes, I saw him too.

kittylester Tue 12-Apr-16 07:41:35

I don't know whether you did or not but 'peace and love' anyway.grin

Did I see Ringo on an ad for shoes the other evening or am I dreaming? Short of money do you think?
