Brimley was also the inspiration for “the Brimley/Cocoon Line Calculator,” which notes that “When ‘Cocoon‘ reached theaters on June 21, 1985, Wilford Brimley was 18,530 days old (50 years, 9 months and 6 days),” but because of his grizzled appearance, played a character much older than Brimley’s actual age at the time.
