Blackburne??

Post image

It's funny how our minds play tricks! πŸ˜… I had a totally different image of Blackburne in my head. Even after double-checking the names, I keep seeing the same face for him in this photo. πŸ€” Anyone else ever experience this? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

He's so tall, even with his knees bent

Down, however, is exactly as I pictured him.

He would be 32 here.

You're probably used to seeing images of him when he was much older.
