What dance style is this?

I guess hip-hop but maybe someone knows more.

Locking (dance) maybe? --Jayron32 18:58, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Is it Prince Harry's girlfriend in the eharmony adverts?

Or just someone who looks like her? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.79.90 (talk) 11:43, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

According to recent reports, Prince Harry is dating someone called Meghan Markle. Wikipedia has an article about her, Meghan Markle. Neither there, nor a google search, indicates she has done commercials for eHarmony. --Jayron32 12:44, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

The one with the pig. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.79.90 (talk) 15:40, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

The one what with what pig? --Jayron32 16:22, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Accord in to e-harmony, their adverts feature their real clients, not actors - http://www.eharmony.com.au/dating-advice/blog/are-the-people-in-eharmonys-tv-commercials-real#.WD2rxuaLSUk Wymspen (talk) 16:25, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

If Megan Markle had been a real client that would have been one helluva result! Britmax (talk) 14:04, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

The eHarmoney pig advert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.79.90 (talk) 16:54, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

This one? It does look a bit like Meghan Markle. Can't find any confirmation though. Here is more information on the ad, no information on the actress though. --Jayron32 19:17, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Here is a collection of ads starring Meghan Markle. No sign of the eHarmony ad. --Jayron32 19:19, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

May I ask a follow-up question, in my capacity as someone who is not as young as he was? The hairstyle and beard of the man in the video seem fairly consistent with contemporary fashions, but - a bow-tie? And that jacket? Is that really what people wear to dinner these days? Tevildo (talk) 21:48, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

He is some species of hipster, definitely. Also here is a Reitmans ad with Meghan Markle. I didn't even know she was an American actress, I thought she was just the woman in the Reitman's ads. Adam Bishop (talk) 11:23, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Heck, I live in Toronto where Suits is shot, I used to watch the show, and I regularly walk by a Reitmans store that sometimes has giant photos of her in the windows. So I was well aware of her before these recent news stories, but I didn't know she was American either; I just assumed she was Canadian. --76.71.5.45 (talk) 13:01, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Tevildo, show me someone who is as young as he was, and I'll show you a dead man. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 12:52, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Benjamin Button comes immediately to mind, as does Merlin from The Once and Future King, and doubtless there are many other similar examples in fiction. Although it might be argued that these gentlemen are as young as they're going to be... Tevildo (talk) 13:03, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

If memory recalls, Zaphod Beeblebrox was born to his own son, who in turn was born to his own son. Something about conception in a time machine or some such. --Jayron32 19:09, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

He heard the song "I'm me own grandpa" and took it as a challenge? —Tamfang (talk) 21:15, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

He was so much older then, he's younger than that now. --Jayron32 00:28, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
