"Growing Pains" Star Alan Thicke Dead At Age 69




The world lost yet another great talent last night when iconic TV actor Alan Thicke suffered a heart attack while playing hockey with his son. Thicke was just 69 years old at the time of his passing and leaves behind a lifetime of memorable TV moments. Thicke is survived by his wife Tanya and his three sons Robin, Brennan and Carter.











Alan was born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario and spent much of his youth in the Great White North.


He attended the University of Western Ontario before beginning his television career hosting the Canadian game show First Impressions. 




Throughout the rest of his career, he would go on to host two more popular game shows:


Animal Crack-Ups and the live-action version of Pictionary. 











However, Thicke is most known for his time spent portraying one of history’s most iconic TV dads, Jason Seaver on Growing Pains. 


The ABC sitcom became a fan favorite in the ’80s and ’90s and saw Thicke mentoring young actors like Kirk Cameron, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tracey Gold. 




A kind man with many famous friends, Thicke’s passing has grasped the attention of other A-list actors.


In fact, fellow ’90s sitcom actor Bob Saget had this to say on his Twitter upon hearing the news:

The worst thing about getting drunk is pretty much any decision you make while drunk.  But once in a while you get lucky and by some fluke, a messy night takes a turn for the better.   Maybe you discover a cool talent or go on an amazing drunk adventure. More likely, you discover a edible-looking hot dog lying on the sidewalk calling to you.  But whatever your drunk win is, it creates an experience so magical that alcohol-soaked you feels like the only person in the world… even though  you probably don’t remember a thing about it the next morning.  1. Your inability to stand up straight resulted in the best dance moves ever The alcohol gods are on your side when your unconscious self manages to do the worm. 2.

Can Your Ex Tell The Difference Between Adele Lyrics And Drunk Texts? This Girl Found Out!

Adele’s new song “Hello” is perfect listening for anyone who wants to unnecessarily relive the emotional trauma of having your heart shattered into a billion pieces. The song is about the failures of reconnecting with a loved one after painful years apart. If you can get through the song without having a crippling, tear-soaked breakdown, then you likely have no heart. You also might find that the lyrics are uncannily similar to a drunken text you might send your ex. Mary Caldera noticed this similarity and decided to test it out on her ex-boyfriend, Matt. Poor Matt clearly didn’t get the reference. Naturally, Matt assumed Mary was just drunk texting him, and his deadpan and confused response is brilliant. If you think Mary was cruel for texting Matt and getting his hopes up, well, she didn’t stop there. She also posted the entire exchange on Twitter, much to our delight!
