‘You’re only 75’: Billy Crystal receives Kennedy Center honor amid Biden age jokes

Crystal lauded alongside Dionne Warwick, Barry Gibb, Queen Latifah and Renee Fleming at annual ceremony

White-haired Robert De Niro, 80, looked up at white-haired Billy Crystal in the balcony. You're only 75," he said mischievously. That means you're just about six years away from being the perfect age to be elected president."

Joe Biden, 81, sitting a few seats away from Crystal, grinned and jokingly wagged his finger at De Niro. The audience at the 46th annual Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday night roared, rose to its feet, turned to look at the US president and applauded and whooped for a full 30 seconds.
