Brian Austin Green is now best known as the on and off significant other of Megan Fox but, most people know him best for the role of David Silver on the original nighttime soap Beverly Hills 90210, and while he has remained somewhat relevant, his popularity has definitely dropped since he enjoyed Beverly Hills fame. As his name gets dragged back into the headlines with his separation from Fox, check out 9 things about Brian you might not be aware of:
9. He’s 43
There’s a big age difference of 13 years between Brian and Megan. He’s 43, squarely in middle-age, while Megan, at 29, is still in her twenties — a decade that these days is generally meant for having fun and figuring things out, not staying with one person and having two children. He was born in 1973, the year Marvin Gaye scored a huge hit with “Let’s Get it On,” while Megan was born in 1986, when Whitney Houston was queen. They must have had completely different childhoods and teenage experiences. Megan even admitted to Cosmopolitan magazine that when she met him, “I didn’t know who he was. I was too young for Beverly Hills, 90210.”
