A small number of celebrities seem to have stopped time in terms of their aging, but the rest of us are still forced to look at our selfies from five years ago and ask ourselves what has happened to our faces. An actor who’s still without a single wrinkle or a singer who’s still able to pass for the times when their music videos were very popular – these are the celebrities who make everyone think twice. Is it perfectly healthy living? Great skin? Or maybe they have just stumbled upon the real Fountain of Youth? Find out which ones have been outsmarting Time.
10. Jeff Goldblum
Jeff Goldblum may be in his seventies, but he remains the same magnetic, offbeat cool he possessed in Jurassic Park. Decades-apart side-by-side photos appear nearly identical. Perhaps it’s the jazz piano. Perhaps it’s the charm. Either way, the guy is ageless—and perhaps evidence that confidence is the secret anti-aging formula.
9. Gwen Stefani
For more than 30 years, Gwen Stefani has been sporting her platinum locks and perfect skin as if she hasn’t aged a single day since Just a Girl. Still in her fifties, she can climb onto a stage and appear as if she’s still in her No Doubt days. She may attribute it to good skincare, but some of us think she’s hiding a very big secret.
8. Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves is real-life evidence that aging need not happen. At close to 60, he is alarmingly similar in looks to his Matrix days. His fans quip about him being immortal, and quite frankly, if he were to announce that he’s lived for centuries, the majority of us would find this believable.
7. Jennifer Lopez
J.Lo’s glow is legendary. In her mid-fifties, she’s still delivering show-stopping performances, rocking sculpted abs, and owning every red carpet she steps on. Compare photos from 1999 to now and you’ll see—nothing has changed. She’s not aging. She’s just evolving.
6. Paul Rudd
Paul Rudd is everyone’s favorite “how is he still 30?” celebrity. In his fifties, he somehow looks like the same lovable guy from Clueless. If there’s ever a time machine revealed to the public, we’re betting Rudd has been borrowing it for years.
5. Beyoncé
From Destiny’s Child to international icon, Beyoncé hasn’t aged a single year in our book. At 40+, she’s still perfection from all sides of the lens, whether strutting her stuff on stage in sparkly designer clothes or whipping up a casual selfie fit to break the ‘net. If ageless beauty were an Olympic event, she’d win gold every time.
4. Angela Bassett
Angela Bassett doesn’t age gracefully; she makes age regal. In her sixties now, she’s as beautiful and authoritative as ever. Whether she plays a queen in Wakanda or struts down a red carpet, she appears to have walked directly out of a time capsule.
3. Rihanna
Rihanna has been under the spotlight since her youth, but she’s somehow managed to retain that same fresh-faced radiance. At 34, she still appears as though she could release “Pon de Replay” tomorrow. Whatever her secrets are, they work—ask anyone who’s attempted to acquire Fenty Beauty products.
2. Jennifer Aniston
It’s been decades since Friends, but Jennifer Aniston still has that same effortlessly fresh look we fell in love with as Rachel Green. Now in her fifties, she hasn’t lost her glow, her charm, or her ability to make us all wonder if she’s got a secret skincare fairy on retainer.
1. Chuando Tan
Singaporean model and photographer Chuando Tan is perhaps the most puzzling of all. At 58, he appears to have just celebrated his 25th birthday. His secret to staying young? Strength training, protein-rich diet, little processed food, staying hydrated, sunscreen, and a life free of unnecessary stress. If “ageless” were a brand, Chuando would be its ambassador.
Whether it’s luck in the gene pool, strict wellness routines, or some mystical bargain we’ll never know about, these stars are proof that aging is not the same for everyone. The rest of us? Guess it’s time to double up on SPF and keep dreaming.
