Web 2.0 rockstar and all around nice guy, Andy “Lad” Hadfield is turning 28 today… or at least that’s what he tells us. 

Upon investigating Andy’s Facebook profile we see his year of birth is 1980, making him a youthful 28 years old today. We did however have doubts about Mr Hadfield when we went through his photos and saw a man with rather grey hair which got us wondering. We poked and prodded and all we found were scared people not willing to talk. So much so that when we interviewed his coworkers we were escorted out the building by security. 

BeatMagazine let the story slide until today when we got an anonymous email from the address “thewife@AndyH.co.za”. The contents of this email are quite shocking so if you have a weak stomach please don’t read the following:

“When registering for Facebook Andy couldn’t put his real age in as the option wasn’t available. The date he gave is the closest he could get to the real number. The problem is, you can’t set the century as the 1800’s. The truth is that Andy was born in 1880!”

Andy’s silvery locks and his beyond age wisdom is perfectly logically now. When we replied to the anonymous email address about how he keeps his youthful good looks the response was “a mixture of herbal viagra and awesomeness”

Suddenly everything makes sense in the world and we understand the truth behind Andy’s awesome beard.
