The newest sexy senior selected to lead the next season of ABC’s The Golden Bachelor has already lost his audience after making some shockingly sexist and ageist comments about the show’s contestants.

Owens, a 66-year-old former NFL player, told producers he is looking for women 45 to 60 years old and to "try to stay away from the artificial hips and the wigs, that kind of stuff."

He relayed the message to producers, “If they’re 60 or over, I’m cutting them. This is not ‘The Silver Bachelor,’ this is ‘The Golden Bachelor.’”
