Top 15 Artists Who Are Older Than You Thought

bigstock-LOS-ANGELES--FEB---Jennife-30366710

4. Jennifer Aniston – 50

It is really hard to believe this star from NBC’s mega-hit Friends is 50, and just as sexy, if not sexier than in the past. In fact, she still rates highly in men’s magazines that list the sexiest women in Hollywood.

    Actually Julianne Moore’s career started 10 years before Boogie Nights and includes 21 movies & TV productions. Some were even famous such as Benny & Joon, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, and Body of Evidence (I didn’t say they were all good).

    Lucy Liu is actually 46. (12/2/68).

    Tom Wisdom of Dominion. I coudnt believe he’s already 42. He looks like in his late 20′s to early 30′s

    Lucy Liu was born on Dec 2, 1968. That would make her 46 years old today.

    Most of these people are no surprise. You just have to be old enough to remember when they were first performing.

    Lucy Liu and I share a birthday: 12/02/68.

    Considering how long these people have been working in the business, none of these were a surprise.

    Also, black people don’t count. For the most part we age gracefully.

    Christie Brinkley is another celebrity who looks fantastic for her age.

    First time I saw Julianne Moore in a movie I was sure she was older than me — but she’s only my age? Poor thing.

    Is there anyone who works for this blog that is older than 30? Most of these stars look their age in my opinion. People in their 40′s don’t look old. I think 50 begins to be a more telling time, when more wrinkles begin to appear. When someone past 55 looks 35 to 40, that will amaze me. I remember what I looked like in my 40′s and most people thought I was much younger. At almost 58, time has caught up and I no longer pass for someone in my 40′s. The only person I thought would have definitley had me quessing was the last celebrity posted. He still looks like a kid (in his 20′s) to me.

    No, they aren’t older than I thought they were.

    is there a reason the people of color (besides lucy) are at the end of the list?

    And do not forget the Harrison Ford movie “The Fugitive.” She is the ER doctor who corners Ford after he saves a child’s life.

    it’s funny how they assume that forties is old. people should still look good in their forties, what’s the big deal? and I don’t know who half of them are..

  19. mewofford

    Kind of weird to think EW might believe turning 40 makes you automatically old and no longer “sexy.” But then again you are a magazine about Hollywood and certainly that seems to be an overriding principle in Hollyweird. As a movie goer and TV watcher I see Judi Dench in the sequel to The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and think she’s sexy as hell. I see Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino and think he’s sexy as hell. Richard Gere, Sharon Stone, Mark Harmon, Kim Cattral…all 50 or older. We’ll know agism is dead when articles like this stop getting published.

  20. Jane

    March 22, 2015 at 11:13 pm

    I thought everyone looked their age! Either the people I know are aging very well (and for the most part without botox or surgery) or you have no idea what people in their 40′s, 50′s, 60′s, 70′s and even 80′s look like. But then again, when I was 35, I was still being carded and now that my twin daughters are 35, they are also being carded.

    I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They’re really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for novices. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.

    I don’t think the author meant that Rob Lowe took his kids to visit “potential universities.” I would hope he’d take them to visit actual ones. Ones they might potentially attend.

    March 24, 2015 at 6:37 pm

    If you are lucky…..very lucky, you get older, You don’t have to get old. How you look and what you think looks good changes. I hope all of you are lucky enough to get older.

  35. jean pouliot

    March 26, 2015 at 1:32 am

    They all looked their age but the problem is that at 66 I don’t know the majority of them, especially the ones who think they are so cool with only one name!!!

  36. Clinea

    March 26, 2015 at 2:34 am

    I totally agree. I litterally sat here the whole time like “ok, so what.” 40 is still young.Give me someone like Cher, who doesn’t look like she’s almost 70!!

    Only one surprise in the list. Jennifer Anniston is ONLY 45? I thought she was older.

    Do not know who thinks they look younger than most people. It got all of their ages right, even the ones In did not know. But Grace Park on Hawaii Five-0 still looks good. She was on Battlestar Galactica back in 2004.

  42. porgie tirebiter

    March 27, 2015 at 12:55 pm

    How could anyone NOT know Anniston is well into her 40′s. With weekly stories all over the internet and the tabloid press about her personal life, her never ending engagements, her biological ticking clock, and her career that consists of nothing but being a celebrity, she’s been around so long I’m surprised she isn’t 55.

    Gwen Stefani is not 44 ~she is going to be 46 this year
    and if you saw her in person…she wears layers of thick Mac makeup foundation and lines her lips outside her lip line. She literally looks like a clown..I was very shocked and had a totally different opinion of her. Cameras just make people look different and makeup does wonders.

    Just curious… how old do you people at pophitz think I or anyone else thought these people are? Why do you think we have even considered how old they might be?

  50. JettMartinez

    March 30, 2015 at 6:51 pm

    I can’t believe these people whose careers started 20 or 30 years ago are now 40 or 50!!!! That’s kind of how time works…

    In reality, most of these people are younger than I thought.

    March 31, 2015 at 7:10 pm

    This is called ageism, so what if Moore is 53 does that mean she turns into an old crone? Look at Sophia Loren, Diane Keating, Stefanie Powers. Tina Turner is 76 and still kicks ass. When will people realize getting means getting better?!

  56. Davina

    April 2, 2015 at 3:55 am

    Without seeing the list, I would bet over half are non-white. The ones that are white the majority of them are lying about their age.

    Gwen Stefani 44? I don’t think so. Not even 46!! I used to watch her video with her Band No Doubt on MTV back in the mid 1980″s. She was definitely Not 16!!! Do the math….hee hee:)^peace & hugs*

    If you saw half these celebs in person you wouldn’t question what their true ages were at all. Good makeup, spa treatments/skincare, quality clothing and good camera angles can take years off your look..

  66. Phay

    April 5, 2015 at 11:33 pm

    Notice no one over 60 is on the list…all these people look their age and some look older than they are…and some who the heck even heard of or cares about…where is Helen Mirren, Joan Collins, Jane Finda, Clint Eastwood…and beautiful Betty White…does she look 92? Don’t think so…

    I thought Lucy Lu was older, must be the facial plastic surgery she had. Take a look at her in the Mel Gibson movie, PayBack. She is unrecognizable. She had a much more pretty rounded face. Some “improvements” come back to haunt us.

    This was not surprising. I’m 30 and haven’t heard of most of these artists or they were already in their 30′s when I was ten. They look healthy and fit, like older people with money to get frequent facials, massages and cosmetic surgery, who also live a healthy lifestyle.

    July 22, 2015 at 10:17 pm

    You must be taking pity on yourself.
    Julianne Moore has always looked great. Did you ever stop to think , the part of the movie may have required she looked whatever age she played ? Most actors are changed by varying amounts of makeup for movie rolls. Many times, it’s what the director/producer demands.

  92. nosmiley

  93. Di1971

    October 10, 2015 at 4:18 am

    Take away their makeup and they all look their age or older. makeup does wonders for everyone. I’d look 30 again if they put as much makeup on me as they do these “stars”.
