People just can't believe how young Piers Morgan's dad looks. No, really, they can't.
The outspoken TV presenter shared a throwback snap as he wished his dad, Glynne, a happy birthday, but his fans were gobsmacked at his old man's youthful complexion.
It even led Piers, 55, to admit in his post that his dad may be ageing better than him.

Sorry that he was unable to celebrate the special day with Glynne, Piers wrote: "Happy Birthday to my Dad, who looks younger than me every year.
"This pic was taken in St Tropez last year, where we would all have been again this week, doubtless celebrating with a long lunch in Club 55. Instead, we'll have to settle for a Zoom chat later... c'est la nouvelle vie."
Fans then piled into the comments to send their birthday wishes, as well as sharing their utter disbelief at the age gap.

One friend wrote: "Wow !! He looks like your brother not your Dad ! Good genes!"
A second said: "Looks like ur brother not Dad, Piers!"
"Your Dad? Wow! He doesn't look old enough. Happy birthday to him," put a third.
While another added: "Wow your dad does look young and you look so much like him, just with more hair. Your aging process bodes well."

Glynne is not Piers' biological father - his birth dad Vincent Eamonn O'Meara sadly passed away when Piers was just 11 months old.
Piers' mum then went on to marry Glynne Pughe-Morgan, who brought him up as his own.
Earlier this month, Piers revealed he's been sent 'death threats' after a petition was launched to get him fired from Good Morning Britain.

It's fair to say the journalist isn't one to shy away from controversy but in recent weeks a petition to have him removed from his job on ITV has almost 60,000 signatures.
Morgan has divided opinions with his treatment of politicians during the coronavirus pandemic. His interviews with care minister Helen Whately and health secretary Matt Hancock received thousands of complaints via Ofcom.
However, Morgan has defiantly vowed to continue holding politicians to account over their handling of the coronavirus pandemic, taking to Twitter to say: "Memo to trolls: the more you try to silence me with foul-mouthed abuse, death threats and petitions for me to be fired, the louder and harder I will challenge the Govt over its handling of this crisis. Lives depend on it."

Fans of the outspoken host were quick to throw their support behind him, with one person writing: "Piers, you are a legend! To some perhaps Marmite. I am a London bus driver and we all truly believe without you in our corner we could lose more friends and colleagues. Keep doing what you are doing. We salute you."
