Meet Phillippe Dumas, a regular guy from Paris who just decided to take up modeling — aged 60.
After the company he was working for went bust, Philippe didn’t fancy a quiet retirement. Instead, he grew a giant beard and applied to modeling agencies to be a senior model.
And (understandably) he’s since been signed with six modeling and talent agencies, as well as starring in menswear campaigns and adverts.
He says that on set, younger models are always admiring his luscious beard and tattoos, and asking for selfies with him.
And now his glorious Instagram has been discovered and people can’t cope with this outrageously handsome pensioner.

He likes to take care of himself, hitting the gym 5 days a week mixing weight lifting, cardio, and ballet to improve his posture.
And he admits his enviable beard takes a LOT of work, including regular attention from his favorite horn moustache comb.
He advises people to never throw their clothes away, as fashion goes in circles and old clothes will be trendy again in a few years.
We’re not sure if he includes this outfit in his sartorial wisdom.
He also likes to have fun with modeling, like the time he decorated his beard in Christmas spirit.

And he adds that while he tries to take care of his body, he can’t help but eat “a nice juicy hamburger full of carbs” every now and then.
We’re in love.
Did we mention he has a cute cat, too?
But good looks aside, Philippe is living proof that it’s never too late to follow your dreams.
And look fantastic doing it.
“Finally, I keep thinking that getting older is not such a bad thing!” he laughs.
Mr. Dumas, can we be your D’Artagnan?
