If that's a photo of Gino (the King of Grilling) Puglisi, then he surely did not tell the truth about his age; because he appears to be much closer to 82 and long past 52 years old.

You want to impress me? Show me a Florida lawmaker who wants to legalize dwarf-tossing contests to boost employment for dwarfs.

Oh wait... https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/politics/florida-ban-on-dwarf-tossing-could-end/1884344/

Ok, I am impressed!
