Democratic Vice President nominee Tim Walz has sparked a frenzy online after being compared to Sydney Sweeney. The former seemingly became a meme online after it was revealed that he and Brad Pitt were of the same age. Now, false claims of him being three years younger than the Euphoria actress have sparked hilarious reactions on X.
On August 29, 2024, X user @And3jH took to the social networking site to share an image of Tim Walz and Sydney Sweeney. They also wrote in the caption, “Sydney Sweeney is 3 years older than Tim Walz.”
The tweet went viral and had amassed nearly two million views at the time of writing this article.
The X user shared disinformation online, as Sweeney is actually 26 years old in reality while Walz is 60 years old.
Several netizens had a hearty laugh at the comparison with one person saying:
Many other internet users flooded the social networking site with hysterical reactions to the tweet, with some saying:
“I feel so dumb for even asking Siri,” one X user admitted.
“that’s incredible, I can’t believe this,” another platform user sarcastically commented.
“Fact check: True,” a platform user said.
Evidently, internet users played along with the joke, with others commenting:
“Amazing what surgeries can do these days for Walz to stay in Sweeney’s league,” an X user said.
“So you’re saying they could date and it wouldn’t be weird,” another platform user said.
“adrenochrome does wonders dawg,” a netizen commented.
For those uninitiated, Tim Walz is running alongside presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Meanwhile, other reactions to the viral Walz trend read:

Eriq Gardner, the founding partner and a national correspondent who works with Puck News, took to X, a few weeks ago to share side-by-side images of Pitt and Walz on the social networking site. The tweet also read:
“Tim Walz is younger than Brad Pitt.”
The tweet was quick to go viral and amassed nearly 13 million views.

It is also worth noting that both the men are 60 years old, with Pitt being born on December 18, 1963, and Walz being born on April 6, 1964.
Tweets comparing Walz’s age to that of Tom Cruise’s also went viral online. Many noted that the former was younger than the Mission Impossible actor, which is very much true as Cruise, who is two years older than Walz, was born on July 3, 1962.
Tim Walz is also 21 years younger than U.S. President Joe Biden. The former is the same age as his running mate Kamala Harris, who will be turning 60 in October.
