The octogenarian appeared at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8 for the premiere of his newest film, Tuner. Dustin Hoffman reportedly had a great time at the event and paid lots of attention to fans. He signed autographs, spoke with fans, and even took a few selfies while on the red carpet.

The film has been a hit with audiences, who loved seeing Dustin on the screen.

“I absolutely adored Daniel Roher’s Tuner, a clever heist thriller with booming sound design and a great turn from Leo Woodall. Havana Rose Liu continues to knock it out of the park andDustin Hoffman is great in small but impactful role,” a fan shared on X.

At 88, he doesn’t appear to be slowing down, but Dustin understands he won’t live forever.

In 2012, he told Parade he is in his “third act,” and is happy with himself just the way he is. Dustin bucked the Hollywood norms that include an obsession with looks and the pursuit of the fountain of youth. He wants to see how things work out naturally.

“I think seeing what life does to you and how it etches itself on your face is quite a beautiful thing. I don’t want to see someone with plastic surgeries; I want to see life. He continued, “I think people get more and more beautiful with age.”
