Ernie Hudson, known for his iconic role in Ghostbusters, recently made a public appearance, creating buzz due to his seemingly unchanging looks. At 78 years old, Hudson appeared as youthful as he was when he took on his Ghostbusters role at the age of 38.
An Ageless Ghostbuster
Hudson, an integral part of the Ghostbusters franchise, has appeared in five movies and a video game based on the series. His recent appearance was at the UK Gala Screening of a new film held at The Ham Yard Hotel in London on March 21. Photographs from the event reveal a man who looks strikingly similar to his younger self from the original Ghostbusters film.
His chosen outfit for the event – tight jeans, a black turtleneck, a brown leather jacket, and matching shoes – only added to his timeless appeal. These photographs sparked a flurry of comments from fans on Reddit, who praised his ageless appearance and impeccable sense of style.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Hudson isn't just a relic of past Ghostbusters glory. He is scheduled to feature in the forthcoming film, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, set to be released in 2024. The film is a sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and Hudson will be reprising his famed role.
Fellow original Ghostbusters stars Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd will also return in this sequel. The film, penned by Gil Kenan and Jason Reitman, with Kenan in the director's chair, delves into a thrilling plot. The Ghostbusters must flex their ghost-busting skills, battling an evil energy released from an ancient artifact, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance – the prevention of a second Ice Age.
With Hudson's unchanging looks and the return of original cast members, fans of the franchise have much to look forward to in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
