Here is the challenge before you: Name a famous person who is 28 years old. Go ahead. No cheating, no looking it up. Off the dome. Pure, uncut 28-year-old naming. I bet you can’t do it.

Zendaya? 29. Gracie Abrams? 26. Paul Mescal? 29. Hannah Einbinder? 30. You’re lower than dirt. You couldn’t name a 28-year-old if you tried. Look at yourself, scrabbling around in the dustiest corners of your mind for a well-known person who looks as if they contain the potent 28-year-old concoction of belief that they are never going to die with the creeping suspicion that they absolutely will die. Julia Garner, of Weapons fame? 31. Austin Abrams, of Weapons fame? 29. Josh Brolin, of Weapons fame? 57. Come on now, you’re embarrassing yourself.
