Experience: My face became a meme [as told by Harold himself]

Interesting story, not knowing about <i>Hide the Pain Harold</i> I was surprised when it was revealed that the guy is actually 74.<p><i>&quot;I’m 74 now. I spent 40 years as an engineer. I did a bit of public speaking then, at conferences and lectures, but that was very different from appearing on television talkshows and YouTube videos. As an engineer, it was really me. Now, it’s role play: I’m Hide the Pain Harold. But I’m not actually a sad guy – I think I’m rather a happy one.&quot;</i>

For those not familiar with that meme, like myself, here are some examples: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;knowyourmeme.com&#x2F;memes&#x2F;hide-the-pain-harold" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;knowyourmeme.com&#x2F;memes&#x2F;hide-the-pain-harold</a>

That was heart warming. I remember Overly Attached Girlfriend doing the same thing. She used her fame for a good cause.
