Most charming grandad ever tries out Tinder for the first time

And hilarity ensues.

AS TINDER USERS will know, misleading photographs are par for the course on the dating app, but this might just take the biscuit.

Filmmaker Ethan Cole convinced his 89-year-old grandad Joe to join Tinder and he kindly obliged.

The aim?

For Joe to act as the matchmaker and introduce his grandson to some women.

The pair posted a profile for Joe in which they listed him as a 21-year-old filmmaker and convinced five women to meet him for a date.

When each of the women arrived, they were confronted by 89-year-old Joe, but he’s so charming and lovely that they don’t really seem to mind. (Although there is one slightly awkward chat about vibrators.)

Watch the antics for yourself below.
