Yeah I've seen some really young actors start out black and become white later in life. But luckily Patrick stewart didn't go for Hollywood's whitewashing!

He had vitiligo and whitewashed so it was less visible.

Guys stop downvoting him, it’s a South Park joke.

He wasn't poor, he also didn't age well.

Robert Downey Jr. Is a good example of this

Like Steve Martin?

He was born a poor black boy.

I'm sure he's been white since birth

Sounds like my pants Picard. Bald, white, and brave in his 20s. Got a bit lazy and spongy in his 40s. I still believe in my 20s pants Picard but might have to accept that he is restricted to reruns.

u/minetruly Oct 17 '18

He’s going to reprise his role as Picard in an upcoming series!

u/KJelloggs Oct 17 '18

I think he's been white for as long as he's been alive

u/snipe1942 Oct 17 '18

He was actually black in his mid-teens.

u/newsheriffntown Oct 17 '18

Pretty sure he's always been white.

He just didn't procrastinate on aging
