Why does he have WRINKLES?! I understand jesse’s acne scarring, cuz acne was evident on summerland, but the wrinkles? Is he secretly 40?

He does look old. Jesse has a lot of wrinkles around his eyes. Not that I’m condoning it but I think he needs botox. He’s way too young to have that many wrinkles. Imagine when he IS 40. Not going to be a pretty sight.

Why does Ann Curry always stare when someone is reporting (or in this case reading). It bugs me to no end. She interrupts guests constantly and stares at the other interviewers. Watch Today when she’s on and you’ll see.

Horrible!

For a 21-year-old , Jesse has very noticeable lines on his face. I think by the time he is 30, he will look 50.
