AARP did a good job of making a whole lot of Beverly Hills 90210 fans feel very old by putting Luke Perry on the cover of the magazine's latest issue.

Yes, Dylan McKay is 50 and if finding that out doesn't make some fans of the former heartthrob feel old enough, AARP mag honored his milestone birthday by putting him on the cover to remind those fans that their youth is gone.
On Oct. 11, Twitter erupted with reactions from tons of 90210 fans when the cover was revealed. Here are some of the best reactions to the actor turning the big 5-0 and gracing the cover of the organization for retired people and seniors.
@AARP You just made a whole generation of people who thought they were still young very depressed

@AARP Was your goal to make the rest of us feel old and sad by putting Luke Perry from Beverly Hills 90210 on the cover?

So... Luke Perry is on the cover of AARP magazine as its newest member. Does any one else feel sick right now?

However, there is a silver lining in all this ... as one Twitter user pointed out, the actors on 90210 were not really teenagers when the show aired, they just played them on T.V.
@tlcprincess well they were in their late twenties early thirties playing teenagers on 90210. ????

Plus, Perry's co-star Ian Ziering is 52 and can still fight sharks and save the world, so maybe your fifties won't be so bad.
