- Is the word third, like three?
Or thirst?
Thirst and then strap?
- [Fernando] John?
- Yes, hi.
- Fernando.
- Nice to meet you - Nice to meet you
thank you for coming.
So John, we're gonna take some thirst traps.
Do you know what a thirst trap is?
- [John] No.
- Alright, I got you.
I'll explain everything to you.
Instagram has been around for about eight years
and one of the best and worst things that it has
introduced us to is thirst traps.
I myself have gone from hating thirst traps
to becoming sort of
a thirst trap queen, and I'm not embarrassed by it.
I'm really not.
But it recently occurred to me that senior citizens
don't really have a big presence in the thirst trap
community, so this week I made it my challenge
to find two senior citizens
who would be down to come in and let us take
professional thirst trap photographs
so they can post on their Instagram, or Facebook
or whatever they're using.
And if they're not using anything we can print them out,
but we're gonna get this thirst trap photos.
So I realized that finding people for this video
was going to be more difficult than I anticipated.
So to start off I reached out to my aunt.
So, I'm here at my Aunt Martha's house.
She agreed to be in this video,
but she's not I think 100% sure about
what's gonna go down.

Next I met up with John, an actor that my friend
Aria found on Craig's List.
What are some of the best things from growing older.
- Growing older sucks, it's not any fun.
- What sucks about it?
- One, you're probably gonna end up with some
medical problems, you know.
I have to take pills everyday and I never did that before.
- Do you think self-esteem suffers as one grows older?
- I have a sister, she's close to my age.
She won't get in front of a camera.
In fact if you look on her Facebook page
she won't post any pictures of herself
or the only one you see is one that was from
like, 30, 40 years ago.
When I was younger I didn't really like to be
in front of a camera.
I think I was probably better looking when I
was younger, I don't know what my problem was.
But now I'm older, I'm in front of the camera
all the time.
- You actually got more confident as you grew older.
That's awesome.
After meeting up with them I knew they were both
perfect for this.
Alright John so we're here now.
We're about to take your thirst trap.
Are you excited?
- Yeah definitely.
(speaks in foreign language)
Are you nervous about anything for this process?
- When I was younger, you know I had to keep up
appearances but as I've grown older
I don't give a (beep).
If you don't like me I don't care.
- There you have it.
(speaks in foreign language)
My aunt currently has just the silhouette of a woman
and that is unacceptable.

Like this.

- Is the word third?
Like three?
Or thirst?
- [Fernando] Thirst like in thirsty.
- Thirst, and then strap?
- [Fernando] Trap.
- Oh like you're trapping an animal?
- [Fernando] Yes.
- That kind of trap?
I've never heard these words before.
- John took his photo.
We have the photos ready.
John come in.
What do you think?
- Very nice, I really like those.
- [Fernando] Do you think you look like James Bond?
- [John] Like James Bond's grandfather maybe.
- Good looking grandfather.
I need you to post this on Instagram ASAP.
Get those likes and get those follows so that
you can be poppin' in the thirst trap community.
Thank you, John.
- Wow.
(speaks in foreign language)
- Well, she looks beautiful.
I can't stop looking at her pictures.
(speaks in foreign language)
- [Fernando] This experience made me realize that although
growing older might be difficult at times
it does not have to be boring or sad.
I hope that I can grow to become as fun, as loving
as these two and that maybe I have someone to take
my thirst traps too.
Cause let's be real.
Their photos were tight as (beep)
