Fans React to 'The Partridge Family' Star Danny Bonaduce's Graying Beard & Short Hair at 65

Fans are buzzing about "The Partridge Family" star Danny Bonaduce's latest look at 65, where he sported a graying beard and short hair.

Danny Bonaduce's fresh style at 65 has sparked plenty of reactions online. The radio presenter is now sporting a short haircut and a beard that's taken on a more silver hue.

Danny celebrated his 65th birthday on August 13, 2024. Days later, on August 15, 2024, he shared a photo of himself in a light gray sweat jacket, a dark gray T-shirt underneath, and sunglasses perched on his head. His beard full of gray hair also stood out.

The actor took time to thank those who have wished him a happy birthday, writing, "One of these guys is on Medicare today. Thank you for all of the birthday wishes."

Danny Bonaduce looked serious in the picture he posted, prompting one person to comment, "Yikes!! HBD Old Man!!" while another added, "Don't look so sad."

A side-by-side picture of Danny was also posted on social media for his birthday. One image featured the young actor in 1973, while the other was a recent photo from 2024, both highlighting his signature red hair.

AmoMama readers reacted to this picture, with one reader simply saying, "Wow," while another admired his iconic look, noting, "...so real redhead."

A third reader reminisced, "YOU CHANGE A LOT SINCE THEN. I DID WATCH YOU EVERY SINGLE SATURDAY [sic]" Meanwhile, an AmoMama reader was surprised by his age, commenting, "65?? 😲"

Danny's life has evolved since he was on "The Partridge Family." He has been happily married to his wife, Amy Bonaduce, since 2010, and they reside in Seattle.

Danny's professional life has also changed. For over a decade now, the radio personality has co-hosted a morning talk and music show on the classic rock station KZOK-FM.

Although he retained the quick wit and energetic delivery from his "The Partridge Family" days, he had to take a brief break from the show in 2022. The actor faced a mysterious medical issue that caused stroke-like symptoms.

He shared the news on Instagram, writing, "I'm taking a temporary medical leave from my radio show. I'll share more when I know more, as I'm still working towards receiving a diagnosis."

Danny acknowledged that while he needed to prioritize his health, he remained passionate about his job. The actor looked forward to returning to the airwaves.

The radio presenter, who was pictured using a walking stick in the post, playfully noted that he was now part of the "cool guys with canes" club. He humorously mentioned other iconic figures like Charlie Chaplin and Willy Wonka.

In the following days, Danny was optimistic that he was making progress. His wife took to social media on June 6, 2023, to share that the actor had undergone surgery, which went as planned and he was doing well.

She discussed her husband's mysterious illness to address random articles online about his health. Amy noted that Danny had been dealing with symptoms such as balance issues, which made walking difficult for him.

The actor's wife added, " He was diagnosed w/ hydrocephalus & had surgery to correct. It's only been 3 weeks - his walking is better, he's back on the air, and doing well. ❤️‍🩹."

A few days later, on June 11, 2023, Danny shared a photo on X showing himself working out in the gym on a stationary bike. He wrote, "On the road to recovery."

So far, Danny has made significant strides in his recovery. He has returned to the airwaves and even celebrated his 65th birthday, proving to his fans that he's back and better than ever.
