David Letterman’s Post-Retirement Look Shocks The Internet

Recent images of celebrity talk show host David Letterman show his surprising new look as a bold, chubby, and smiling senior man who looks like he’s enjoying every single second of retirement.

The pictures show him going for a jog on the Caribbean island of St. Barts, and even though it’s been only 10 months since the late-night host bade adieu to the audience, he already has a completely different image.

The veteran host recently admitted that he hasn’t really looked back since passing his Late Night show to Stephen Colbert. He has kept a fairly low profile since he retired in May 2015, appearing at the Indy 500, attending Michael J. Fox’s benefit to fight Parkinson’s in New York in November, and then appearing onstage for a brief chat weeks later at his alma mater, Ball State.

Many Internet commenters have noted that he suddenly resembles the red-suited Christmas icon. Whether or not the new look suits him isn’t really that important – what is important is that he looks very happy and full of life!
