With beard, beret, and impeccable style, George R.R. Martin makes aging look effortless.

Haters will say that G.R.R.M. needs to get back to work and finish The Winds of Winter while he still can, but we think the suspenders-toting author needs some love for just being himself.

Martin, who is turning seventy-one-years young on Friday, curates his outfits, and smiles for almost every picture taken of him. That’s more than can be said for most Millennials. Great job adulting, G.R.R.M.!
