Nothing Compares 2 Prince’s Passport Picture
Beautiful unicorn of a human Prince is currently between Australia and New Zealand for his ‘Piano & A Microphone Tour’. The solo tour, which was announced with next to no lead in time earlier this month, has been praised as a joyous, life-affirming affair and two hours of musical rapture. Ever grateful, Prince has been tweeting his many favourable reviews, but we’re pretty distracted by something else he recently tweeted – his passport picture.
While your Everyday Joe would tend to have a less-than-impressive image on their photo page, Prince’s identifying picture is in line with every other thing in his life: awe-inspiring, majestic and resplendent.
Look at this picture. This man is 57-years-old. This is literally how good-looking he is. This looks like an album cover. This looks like a professional studio photo. Realistically, it might be; we can’t really imagine the musical genius – who captioned this image ‘PRINCE ROGERS NELSON::PASSPORT PICTURE 2/11/16’ – lining up at his local post office and awkwardly adjusting his pose for 25 minutes as the person at the counter tells him to smile less.
At the end of the day, though, passport photos aren’t a beauty contest; all we’re saying is that if they were, Prince wins.
