The Enduring Mystery: How Old is Bobby Ewing REALLY?
Ah, Bobby Ewing. The man with the smile that could melt a Texas oil tycoon's heart (or at least loosen their grip on the checkbook). But there's one question that's plagued fans of "Dallas" for decades: just how old is this enigmatic Ewing brother?
The Official Story: A Spring Chicken (Once)
According to IMDB, the esteemed Patrick Duffy, the man who brings Bobby to life, was born in 1949. That would make him, as of today, a youthful 75 years old. But hold your horses, there's more to this story than meets the eye (or maybe it has something to do with that miraculous shower Bobby took after being presumed dead... conspiracy theorists, anyone?).
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
The Shower Rejuvenation Theory: Did Bobby Ewing Drink from the Fountain of Youth?
Remember that whole "who shot J.R.?" debacle? Season nine ended with Bobby getting gunned down in the Ewing shower. Then, season ten threw us a curveball: it turns out the entire previous season was just a dream of Pam's (Bobby's wife)! So, was Bobby magically revived, or did that shower have some serious anti-aging properties?
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
The "Dallas" Reboot: Age is Just a Number (Especially in the Oil Business)

Fast forward to 2012, and TNT reboots "Dallas". Here's Bobby, still looking remarkably well-preserved (seriously, that Ewing gene pool must be something else). The show cleverly acknowledges the age gap by having Bobby remark that he feels like he's "been dead for a year," a wink to the whole shower situation.
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
So, How Old is Bobby Ewing? The Answer May Surprise You...
Here's the truth, folks: Bobby Ewing's age is as elusive as that missing Southfork oil fortune. Is he 75, eternally young thanks to a miraculous showerhead, or somewhere in between? The beauty of fiction is that it allows us to keep the dream alive. Maybe Bobby Ewing is ageless, a timeless symbol of Texan charm and questionable business practices. Or, maybe he just has a really good skincare routine.
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
The Important Takeaway: Bobby Ewing is a Legend, Age is Just a Number, and Dallas is Still Seriously Entertaining
So, the next time you wonder how old Bobby Ewing is, just remember: it doesn't matter. He's Bobby Ewing, and that's all that counts. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a sudden urge to rewatch the entire "Dallas" series and ponder the Ewing family's ever-confusing timeline.
