What a legend.A real mans man. Some life 90 movies.🙌🙌🙌🙌

''I AM DEPARTACUS''

103, what a life. Probably seen too much and lived through too much. 2 world wars and the birth of Jake Paul. Not so fucking on. Too many dead beats around now, choose love and peace. I've seen the dark times of late, I choose love.

RIP, apart from the whole Natalie Wood thing...
