MR. T PITIES THE FOOL WHO ASKS FOR AN AUTOGRAPH!

MOODY Mr. T has had his share of tough times since his iconic '80s prime, but these days he goes out of his way to hide from the public, spending most of his time indoors, sources spill.

As these exclusive photos show, the 72-year-old A-Team alum, whose real name is Laurence Tureaud, wasn't exactly inviting small talk with his scowl and sloppy appearance on a rare outing in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley wearing a stained sweatshirt, gray sweatpants, an orange beanie and orange sneakers.

"He's a very old-fashioned guy with the same car he's had for years, wearing the same orange beanie he's had for over a decade," dishes an insider.
