Let’s be honest: Dude Perfect has been launching basketballs off trampolines and crushing watermelons with slo-mo crossbows for so long that it feels like they’ve been around forever. You might start to wonder if they’ve found the fountain of youth somewhere between a trick shot and a “stereo bump.” Spoiler: they haven’t. They’re just normal, aging humans—but with way cooler jobs than us.
So, how old are these five legends? Let’s break it down, starting with the ringleader, Tyler Toney. At 36 (born March 24, 1989), he’s the wise old goat of the group—or, as I call him, the dad who still throws a football through a moving car window. Then there’s Coby Cotton, the eternal optimist and twin brother of… wait for it… Cory Cotton. Both are 37 (born July 17, 1987), making them the actual wise old goats. How do you tell them apart? Just look for the guy who smiles like he just won a participation trophy; that’s Coby. The other one? Cory. Easy.
Next up is Garrett Hilbert, the big guy with the bigger laugh. He’s 37 (born July 13, 1987), but secretly we suspect he’s a 40-year-old lumberjack who just happened to learn how to ride a hoverboard. Finally, there’s Cody Jones, the chaotic energy source. He’s the baby of the bunch at 35 (born October 9, 1989). Yes, 35. That means he was born the same year Home Alone came out—which is fitting, because his stunts often feel like a live-action version of that movie.

So there you have it: a team of 35- to 37-year-olds who are officially “grown-ups” but spend their days acting like kids in a candy store—with better aim. And here’s the uplifting part: they’ve proven that age is just a number when you refuse to stop having fun. Whether you’re 25 or 75, if you’ve got a ping-pong ball and a dream, you can still make the world smile. Now go throw a potato at a target. You’re not old—you’re experienced.
