The internet has been abuzz after it was revealed that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is younger than both Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, with social media users making puns and light-hearted jokes about the Minnesota governor and comparing his age to Hollywood stars.

As Waltz has been thrust into the spotlight after being selected as Kamala Harris’ running mate in the 2024 election, the internet has been digging deeper into his background, revealing more about him as a former social studies teacher, military veteran and now one of the most searched-for politicians in the nation.
Tim Waltz is younger than Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise
The answer is yes! Governor Tim Walz, born on April 6, 1964, is younger than the action-packed Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise, who was born on July 3, 1962. Meanwhile, the charming Brad Pitt, who is currently gearing up for his Formula 1 challenge, came into the world on December 18, 1963.
Governor Tim Walz is 60 years old and has a wealth of experience in the job. He has been governor since 2019, but before entering public office he served in the military and worked as a teacher. His age has become a hot topic in the post-Trump-Biden era, especially with Americans’ desire for the younger generation to take the lead. Walz’s diverse experience and deep understanding are making people think about what the future of politics will look like.

But the internet seems to have a hard time believing Waltz is still 60…
Some wondered if Waltz was too old for the job, but many pointed out that he’s only one year older than Kamala Harris.The comparison between Waltz and two of Hollywood’s fittest action stars, both over 60 years old and still dominating the action world (and making big bucks), quickly got the internet abuzz.
“I still can’t get over the fact that Brad Pitt is older than Tim Waltz,” one person commented on X (formerly Twitter). “He fought in wars and taught kids. That makes him old,” another defended his grown-up look. “I mean, he’s just a country 60 and has bubba energy. That’s not a bad thing. We need bubba energy on our shortlist,” commented a third. Soon, “He’s a Minnesota 60” became the top trend of the day.
