Jimmy Fallon shares throwback photo for his milestone birthday
In the throwback photo he posted on September 19, a blonde toddler-aged Fallon beams at the camera from a high chair, wearing a checkered party hat and grabbing what looks like a gift or some cake.
In the comments, other celebrities welcomed him to the next chapter of his life. "The 50s are great @jimmyfallon come on in, the water is fine!" wrote Oscar winner Octavia Spencer. "Welcome to the club. It’s fun," added Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth, the original Glinda in Wicked.
During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, Martin Short, who is 70 years old, poked fun at the host's youthful appearance, while subtly suggesting that it wasn't so youthful after all. "Jimmy, you know, someone told me you're turning 50 next week," Short told Fallon. "And I thought, 'that can't be right.' And then sitting here... I realized that could be right."
The comedian dedicated his post to his fans, audience, and entire support system. "I just want to say thank you for giving me this great life. I’m very lucky. I appreciate the applause, laughter, and support, whether it be at one of my shows, walking down the street, at a basketball game in France, or even stranded and lost in a Bavarian field," he wrote, demonstrating just how far and wide his popularity extends.
"I feel the love, and I love you back. Thank you for always supporting any new idea I have. You believing in me makes me believe in me," Fallon added.
