Top 10 Celebrities Who Don't Age

A desperate drug addict, an HIV-positive trans woman, and a psychopathic villain? Check, check, and check. Yup, Jared Leto has played them all. The method actor has had his fair share of nearly unrecognizable roles over the course of his 20+ years in showbiz. But there’s one thing Leto can’t hide in his roles: his baby face. Leto looks the same today as he did in his ‘90s breakout role as Jordan Catalano in “My So-Called Life.” Even well into his 40s, the actor attributes his aging secret to a healthy life as a vegan and his abstention from alcohol.

Charlize Theron is stunningly beautiful no matter the role. Okay, maybe forget about “Monster.” Still, the gorgeous South African is indistinguishable from decade to decade. She’s looked shockingly similar since her critically acclaimed string of movies in the late ‘90s through her recent blockbuster run. The actress officially joined the “Over the Hill” club in 2015, but she’s showing no signs of slowing down. Theron has gone on the record about aging, stating in a 2015 interview with W magazine “getting older is not that bad.” Well, at least not when you look like her.

An Oscar winner and one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood in 2007, Sandra Bullock has it all. Don’t forget to add ageless to her list of accomplishments. The real-life Miss Congeniality proves that good things happen to good people. The actress has consistently looked the same since becoming a household name thanks to 1994’s “Speed.” America’s sweetheart may have hit 50 in 2014, but like a fine wine, this actress only gets better with age. She was listed on People magazine’s Most Beautiful People in the World list in 1996 and 1999, before finally winning the title of Most Beautiful Woman in 2015.

There are plenty of reasons to be jealous of Halle Berry. She’s gorgeous, successful, and she looks half her age. This ageless A-lister has been turning heads for over two decades with a run of successful performances. She’s won an Academy Award, played a Bond Girl, and has even impressed while playing a superhero. No, not that superhero. Maybe the most impressive part of her résumé is her lack of aging. Despite her age, Halle Berry is still topping lists of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. Maybe all that Revlon is working after all.

They say Hollywood has a problem with women over 40. That’s certainly not the case here. This southern beauty burst onto the scene with several defining roles as a teenager in the ‘90s. Her success carried over to the 2010s, highlighted by an acclaimed role as a nomad in 2014’s “Wild.” Reese’s career longevity may be impressive, but it’s nothing compared to her lack of aging. She looks only slightly older than her teenage self, despite crossing the 40-year milestone and becoming a mother. Maybe we should all channel our inner Elle Woods for some aging secrets.

Pharrell has plenty to be happy about. He’s had a string of commercial successes since his days with N.E.R.D in the early 2000s. Maybe all that exuberance can be chopped up to the fountain of youth. The baby-faced singer-songwriter-producer looks like he could be a 20-something Millennial. So you might find it surprising to learn that as of 2017 Pharrell is well into his 40s. In an interview with Time Out London, he went on record stating he’s not a vampire and that the secret to his lack of aging is washing his skin. But maybe keep the garlic out just in case.

Who’d have thought that the youngest looking cast member of “Saved by the Bell” would be A.C. Slater? Sorry, Screech. The actor and television host has barely aged since the mid-90s. You can thank good health and fitness for that. He’s published several books, including a fitness book and a healthy eating cookbook that went on to be a New York Times Bestseller. The omnipotent Lopez—who turned 43 in 2016—still has a better physique than most 20-year-olds. Let’s just hope his curly haired mullet doesn’t make a comeback.

#3: Will Smith

The Fresh Prince is a fitting nickname. Though well into middle age as of the 2010s, the fresh-faced prince has avoided the sands of time. The blockbuster megastar has been a household name since 1990, when he was just a lanky looking youngster in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” He’s packed on the muscle since, but has looked eternally young since the mid-90s. Smith has kept the same face, body, and facial hair for 20-some odd years. It’s time for him to fess up about his secrets to eternal youth.

This is getting weird. Paul Rudd was already 26 when he unleashed his devilish charm on the world in “Clueless.” And over 20 years later, the fresh-faced funnyman hasn’t aged a day. Rudd even starred in a follow-up to the camp comedy, “Wet Hot American Summer,” in 2015. The “prequel” was released almost 15 years after the original film. While the rest of the cast had changed, Rudd’s boyish charm and looks stayed the same. There’s no telling when he’ll finally start to show signs of aging. It’s one of life’s greatest mysteries. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. Joseph Gordon-Levitt Jennifer Aniston Elijah Wood

Even Father Time doesn’t mess with Jenny from the Block. The Latin beauty has been a sex symbol since bursting onto the scene in 1997’s Selena biopic. J. Lo is still turning heads in 2017, with her iconic red carpet wardrobes and sizzling music videos well into her 40s. The actress and singer is known for having a strict exercise and fitness routine, but it’s a small price to pay for eternal youth. She’s even been known to take younger men under her wing. Here’s to hoping she’ll be shaking her booty for decades to come.
