I've seen some mentioning somewhere of Hawking being a double. Make of that what you will.

I haven't read it yet, but there is a pretty good sized article/essay about this. I am starting to think he is a double since I can see obvious differences in their appearances.

of course we're going to need more than those few pictures listed there... to make it stick, if at all.

Mathis says in that paper that most pictures of Hawking aren't dated, so that makes it more difficult to find comparisons. The fact that he looks younger in 2007 than he did in the 90s is pretty convincing, as well as that he got pneumonia in 1985 and doctors wanted to take him off life support. Seems like he long since should have been deader than a doornail.
