If you reversed the order of those pictures, it'd be far funnier.

58? Wow, that's a relatively young age to die at.

Haha, Porkins is too funny a name just because it seems to directly apply to his weight. GL, now that's funny!

Bloody hell, thought he'd be a lot older than that.

Just watched him in Batman the other day as well.
