...although in the case of Paul Muad'Dib, I think he's actually both.

He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty kwisatz haderach.

Really weird
I think Sting showed up in his under pants, and there was also a bald guy who looked and sounded just like Patrick Stewart, but young.
I think someone even tried milking at cat at one point.

I can't deny that any of those things happened in that film.

Yep - was indeed Patrick Stewart - filming Dune was not one of his favourite experiences - apparently David Lynch thought he was getting a different actor having previously seen Patrick in a stage costume with a wig!

Honestly, I thought he looked old even then (he was 44?). Not in comparison to now, of course.

He is older than I thought.
I thought he was in his 30s in dune but somehow still bald
I remember people saying that he could put on a hat and play a character half as old.

[Sporky]

I believe he was 44 then.

He is now older than time itself.

83 (born in 1940).

Could easily get past 90 these days.

If you want to feel old. ST TNG ended 30 years ago this year.
