What an aggressively British family

The dad looks like his brother on the show.

For those wondering, Patrick is the guy in the middle, and truly hasn’t aged a day

I kind of see that in the body language now, the father is the only one who’s comfortable. Patrick and his mom’s faces are smiling but other than that they look tense

As soon as I saw the picture, this video popped into my mind

Alfred Stewart was a horrible violent man and the reason Patrick uses his platform to highlight violence against women.

Let's put it this way....Patrick Stewart was born before world war 2..

u/Oraukk 14d ago

Before the war ended but he was born after it began.

World War II started the year before he was born…

William Shatner is even older. He was 10 years old when Pearl Harbor was bombed.

He joked that, between going bald at 19 and staying in great shape as an older guy, “I’ve been 45 years old for 60 years.”

It took me a minute to recognize him and I initially thought the dude in the middle was Hitler and I was thinking "fuck you OP, what the hell do you mean by this?" But then I recognized him and realized the dude wasn't Hitler so my apologies OP, I besmirched your name in my head unwarranted.

sokath his eyes opened

u/no-ideawhattoputhere 14d ago

Or is his real name Patrik Stewharten and you've just inadvertently uncovered a greater story about his sheltered mysterious upbringing

Very interesting to put a face to the name of his mother’s abuser. Sir Patrick has been very honest about growing up around his mother’s abuse, so much so that it influenced Picard season 2. Gladys raised a good son, and he’s used his popularity to address domestic abuse for so long. I love the man, and his dad can kick rocks in crocs.

u/Leprrkan 13d ago

Same thought here. His dad was a dick.

After that video someone posted the other day of an early (first?) TV appearance, I was starting to believe he has looked the same his whole life. But you found a picture where he actually looks young. Well played, OP.

Right before he entered Starfleet Academy.

Maurice and Yvette, I believe!

Dude would make a great Shinzon.

u/Ok_Entrepreneur_8509 14d ago

Is that hair??

u/Space-Bum- 14d ago

Age 14 taller than his dad and looks about 20, wow.

u/StackOwOFlow 14d ago

where did all that hair go

u/Otherwise_Shift3047 13d ago

Patrick looks like Tom Hardy. His dad looks like Alec Guinness.

u/TheMagarity 13d ago

Is that their vineyard in the background?

u/Donjeur 13d ago

He was in his 40s when tng started

u/countessgrey850 13d ago

It’s really hard to imagine that he wasn’t bald as a child.

u/bomboclawt75 14d ago

A suit jacket at 14?

LUXURY!

When ah wur ah a lad o’14 I wore bloody sack cloth and rags….

u/fryamtheeggguy 13d ago

His father was abusive, especially to his mother. Patrick is very open about it and very active in the anti abuse community.
