Great Picture Of LC
As I looked at this picture I remembered the recent thread where many of us commented that the master looks thin right now....he sure looks thin in this old pic too!!!
I love to speak with John
He's a pundit and a fraud
He's a lazy banker living in a suit

OMG ~ You're right, Paula ~ and I remember having that same thought, but dismissed it [not such a bad idea, given our track record, if you'll recall ]. At the time of that photo, it's quite likely that 'tight' was 'in', and depending on the climate, limited clothing would be quite likely, too. Now, the YMCA ~ well, whatever ~ just remember our track record .
I also think you're right that he's genetically predisposed to thinness. One of those lucky ones .

I 'm not sure Leonard is pre-disposed to be thin. There are references to him being a bit pudgy in his youth, and resenting his mother always pushing food at him, as mothers do I think he has spent his adult life deliberately trying to stay thin for most of the time. A lot of self discipline!
I have seen film of a concert in 1993 where he appeared to look more chunky, perhaps the result of fast food(and wine) while on the road touring.

That could be, but being pudgy in youth is often a "baby fat" thing, especially if your Mom is 'encouraging' more calories than what are needed. 'Baby fat' and 'overfed' could definitely end up as 'chunky.'
Fast food will definitely add weight. Excessive alcohol, too. So, after all variables are accounted for, and pretty much removed, the body's own equilibrium has a chance to level out and maintain itself.
As I'm recalling, the photo of his Dad didn't reveal a very heavy man, but it seems like his Mom may have been a little round.
I still think Leonard is more inclined toward thinness than not; but his self-discipline, while lending toward a healthy diet and lifestyle, will also lend toward not adding unnecessary weight.

Len went thru a chubby phase as an adult as well. That one of him with the banana doesn't show a very thin man. He had a time in life when he was working out on a daily basis, making sure to stay tough, I reckon.
I like this pic. I don't really mind the holey little shorts. It's hard for this guy to not look, well, sexy whether he's 30 and wearing a tight little YMCA t-shirt or 72 and wearing an Armani suit. I think it's that LNC spirit-thing-whatever-it-is. Does anyone know what it is? Is it that he's genuine? Humble? Is he really these things? I don't know what I'm trying to say. Maybe I'm a bit starry-eyed. Better get the shades.
