What the hell? I was in middle school when the hot boys were popular and I'm 25, and though some people do look old for their age and people still card me to buy soda dude looked way older than me back then.
If it is some kind of stunt I wouldn't even see the point in it, give your self 4 years of youth to connect with fans before you drop another wack ass album? lol
