My Little Quest for Cristian Castro’s Age
So, the other day, I had one of those moments. You know, when a random thought just pops into your head and you gotta know the answer? Well, for me, it was about Cristian Castro. Yeah, the singer. An old song of his, one of those big dramatic ones he does so well, was playing somewhere, and I just found myself wondering, “Jeez, how old is Cristian Castro these days?” Feels like an eternity and also like yesterday that his music was absolutely everywhere.
My curiosity, it just wouldn’t let it go. It’s a bit of a habit, I guess. So, I did the usual thing. I shuffled over to my trusty old computer – she’s seen better days, let me tell you, but she still kicks along – and I fired her up. You know the routine, waiting for all the bits and pieces to load, the whirring and clicking. Then, finally, I got my web browser open and punched in the words into that search bar: “Cristian Castro age”. Kept it simple, no need to overcomplicate things, right?
And wouldn’t you know it, the internet spat out the answer pretty darn quick. It said that Cristian Castro was born on December 8, 1974. So, I did a little math in my head – gotta keep the old noggin working! When I looked this up, that put him at around 49 years old. Forty-nine! Goodness gracious, where does the time even go?
It’s funny, isn’t it, how a tiny piece of information like that can just open up the floodgates of memory. I instantly remembered when his songs like “Azul” or “No Podrás” were massive. I reckon my wife and I even danced to one of his tracks at a wedding or two back in the day. Things were different then, you know. We didn’t have all this streaming stuff. If you liked a song, you bought the actual CD, or you tried your luck recording it off the radio, desperately hoping the DJ wouldn’t start yapping over the intro or the end. What a palaver that was!
This whole looking-up-ages thing, or any little fact, it’s become second nature for most of us, I think. You hear a name, see an old actor in a new movie, and zap – out comes the phone, or it’s a quick trip to the computer. It wasn’t like this when I was a younger fella. Back then, you’d just wonder. Or you’d have to wait to stumble across it in a magazine or a newspaper, if you ever did. Now, it’s all there, instantly. The world’s certainly changed.
- Dragged myself to the computer.
- Punched in what I was looking for.
- Found his birthdate: December 8, 1974.
- Figured out he was about 49.
So, that was my big investigation into Cristian Castro’s age. Not exactly groundbreaking research, I know, but it was a little journey. And it got me thinking, which is never a bad thing. Now, if you’ll excuse me, all this talk has made me want to actually listen to some of those old songs again. See if they’re as good as I remember. I bet they are.
