My favourite person above ryan reynolds and chris hemsworth..

[@ted__ryan]

Like bass is easy to play. All Tom does is simple plucking on his guitar. And Travis is the only one who does way more complex playing on his drum kit

[@maximusdesalvatore6002]

He looks so much older

[@Anthony-df4bs]

That's what happens in life...you get older.

[@astheniaaa]

Because he is?

[@richmeier]

Mark looks older than he does in 2024 then because of the clothes he’s wearing

[@Contart22]

Shit he's getting old

[@morgandaley5417]

He's also vegan now. What a joke he has turned out to be. Delonge all the way!

He’s vegetarian actually lol and what’s wrong with that? Delonge is a huge Democrat on his social media too so what are you trying to say?
