Sven looks weird old as well.

Henry’s mom has some proper saddlebag thighs…

Is it just me or does Sven look like a young Howard Stern?

Photo of sven young is quality
Chris, are u sure that ashley cole photo was taken 10 years ago??? he dont look very much like the teenager that started at asrenal in it!
@Jay: Fairly sure that it’s correct my man. The official caption reads ‘Ashley Cole and mum Sue take a shopping trip to Prada, 2001′.
