Some might say Jon Richardson is already a bit like a grumpy old man – but the usually downbeat comedian looks delighted with his transformation into a grandad.
The funnyman wanted to find out what life is like for older folk and loved his wrinkly new image, grinning away and zooming along on a mobility scooter. Jon, in real life a sprightly 41, got the makeover for Meet The Richardsons, the mockumentary about his life with wife and fellow comic Lucy Beaumont.
An insider said: “Jon was transformed into an OAP. The change was nothing short of incredible. Jon loved having such a brilliant disguise and used the opportunity to get up to mischief. He went out to a pub and annoyed the punters for a laugh.”
