Totally agree, especially about age. Japanese TV programs always indicate people's ages next to their names in parentheses haha. Imagine doing that in the US

They actually do it quite often already. I just went on "People"s website and opened up the first celebrity article and there you have it : https://people.com/movies/nicole-kid...r-ailes-movie/
