Literally came here to confirm that the pictures online of him are up to date. This man is looking amazing at 90.

[@barbaratang8685]

I loved George ever since I was 13 , and I still do, and forever will.

[@ebonymanley26]

So handsome

[@Iloveflowers2024]

I'm finding it difficult to comprehend that he is 90 years old. Incredible! As he said about some of his family members living a long life, he must have some crazy good genes! I was watching TCM and they were showing Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, it's a musical from 1967 and Georges Is singing and speaking French. And doing some great dance routines in it. I then realized it was the same actor in West Side Story. I came on YT looking for more info on him and discovered this video celebrating his 90th . So Happy 90th Birthday to an amazing talented man.

[@begumkhan7706]

[@kolovaja5804]

I highly appreciate your wonderful career, Mr. Chakiris!

[@aprilgrant1957]

I had the honor of being Mr. Chakiris's dresser when he played "Nick Arnstein" in summer stock. A kinder, humbler gentleman/artist you will not meet. A true professional. I learned so much from him and hold my memories of him close to my heart. #tailsman #legend #artist 🎉❤

[@user-el2ng9xc1k]

[@tonybuick7118]

Geez ...he looks 60...not 90....good Greek genes

[@catperson271]

Fell in love with Bernardo and George when I was just a girl. I’m so glad to see that you are still handsome and well at 90 years old.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

The Young Ladies of Rochefort was his greatest film accomplishment.

[@emiliomanueldepedro9650]

I can't believe he looks like that at his 90s.

[@barbaralohman5195]

❤❤❤

[@Scorchy666]

He might be the last surviving cast member from two iconic Marilyn Monroe films.

[@NL-tr7ix]

He looks 60 but he’s 90

[@MarthaMansbridge]

90???? 90??????????

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

His secret is obviously hair dye.

[@georgevincent1834]

Hair dye or not....Just the fact he has all that hair at 90 is impressive.

[@georgevincent1834]

[@CHRISRepAZ]

Probably from Dancing and great genes.
