William Shatner. Hard to believe he's 91 considering he went into space last year! He looks/acts like he's only in his 70s as well.

Margaret Thatcher

Argh, don't do that! I was worried that she'd been re-animated by Legatum for a minute.

Frank Williams, the vicar from 'Dad's army' was mentioned in the news when he died.
But I was probably the only person who saw it.

The longevity of politicians always amazes me.

I don't think googling for famous people who are still alive is going to bring any results that genuinely surprise me so I'll go for responding to this instead:

Huh! I thought JPG was dead too?

You're thinking of BMP.

Eurotrash should be brought back, best thing on TV!

Bill Pertwee, who played Hodges in Dad’s Army, could be next if he is still alive…

He's not. He used to live in a nearby village and drink in a pub in that village. Tradition is supposedly that when he came in the pub the regulars would do a chorus of Who Do You Think..... and then the youngest person present would buy him a pint.

Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli. Watching a doc on S.G today and thought I remembered reading obituaries about him and being sad about his death.

Shocked to discover that Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive.

I was surprised to see that the actor who played Ian Chesterton, companion to Doctor Who in the first ever episode, is still going. Aged 97 and had a speaking cameo in last week's episode.

No way! Thought he’d gone years ago. When he eventually does go there’ll be a party with an atmosphere.

I was convinced that Gary Oldman had died. Apparently not.

Out of interest, did your misremembering coincide with the opening of the large hadron collider?

How the heck is Christopher Lambert only 65?

Last saw him in a Ghostrider movie ~10 years ago, where he looked 80+. 😆

After a couple of people, yesterday mentioned Rochdale Cowboy and me not having a clue what they were on about and then they mentioned Mike Harding we were adamant he was dead. A quick google to learn he's still alive at 78. I did think he died years ago.

Crikey who knew Leslie Philips was still around recently?

98 - that's a good innings
