When it comes to aging, there are different categories of celebrities. Sometimes celebrities allow themselves to age gracefully. Other times they pump themselves full of fillers and engage in all manor of plastic surgery to preserve their youth. Then you have that “other” group of famous people. The secret society of youth and beauty. The ones who just seem to have taken a big old drink from the fountain of youth.
These are the celebrities we love to hate. Because while they are nice to look at, and maybe we are happy for their good fortune, we kind of want to push them off a cliff. I mean, we can only do so much with diet and exercise. Positive thinking doesn’t fix the wrinkles and gray hair that parenthood gives us. And we don’t all have a fortune to spend on skin regimens.
So sometimes it just comes down to sheer luck in genetics. Now, I can’t complain personally. I often get asked if I’m ten years younger than my actual age. But the celebrities on this list are at a whole new level. It’s like they joined that secret club Isabella Rossellini started in Death Becomes Her.
If you remember that scene, Rossellini tells Meryl Streep that she can only stay in the public eye for ten years after taking the potion. Because after that people will get suspicious of her “perfect, unchanged beauty”. Well, celebrities on this list, color me suspicious.
Seriously though, this is a good game to play with people if you’re bored. Because the people on this list don’t look anywhere near their actual age. Last one knocked me straight off my chair. And it’s not just women. There are some male celebrities drinking from the fountain too. Must be nice. – Wendy Rush (age unknown 😉 )
