16 Icons Who Must Be Sipping The Fountain Of Youth
When it comes to staying in phenomenal shape and looking great, celebrities have a bit of an unfair advantage at times. After all, their appearance is a huge part of their job - so they have a big incentive to spend a huge chunk of their paycheck on everything from expensive skincare products to personal chefs that keep their fridge stocked with superfoods to subtle cosmetic treatments that keep their skin looking fresh. They work long hours when they have a project or tour going on, but they're also able to take a vacation when they need to.
However, let's be honest - at the end of the day, celebrities are still humans, and the fact that some of them look so phenomenal is straight up impressive. Although, we have to wonder if the celebrities on this list are, in fact, regular humans - they must have found a fountain of youth or something somewhere, because they're basically just not aging. Whatsoever. For years, sometimes even decades, on end.
These 16 icons must have found a fountain of youth, and we're hoping they share its whereabouts soon, because we'd love to age at that rate! They look absolutely incredible, and will probably continue to look the same for another twenty years.
16 Mila Kunis, who just gets more gorgeous every year
Mila Kunis is another one of those actresses who seems surprisingly young, given how long she's been on our television screens - but that's just because she got her start on That '70s Show when she was just a teenager, and not because of her looks. Though she's now a mom of two in her mid 30s, she could easily pass for her early 20s - she looks absolutely amazing. In fact, we're pretty sure she and hubby Ashton Kutcher are sharing a fountain of youth somewhere, because both of them just seem to get even more gorgeous as they get older. Motherhood is tough, especially when you have two young tots running around, but Kunis looks just as incredible now as she did ten years ago. In an industry that values youth above all else, that's definitely a plus for her.
15 Gabrielle Union, who we'd totally believe as someone in her early 20s, not mid 40s
Okay, we may not believe Gabrielle Union as a high school student anymore, but that's not because of anything to do with her actual face - it's moreso that she carries herself with maturity nowadays. However, even though she's now in her mid 40s, we would still absolutely believe her as a college student - I mean, look at her! If you see her earlier roles, you'll be surprised at just how similar she looked then to how she looks today. I mean, the woman basically doesn't age - she has the acting chops to take on more challenging roles, but she could easily continue playing the romantic lead for another twenty years. Seriously, we want to know her secret - there's not a wrinkle in sight on that gorgeous face! She looks absolutely incredible.
14 Drew Barrymore, whose age you can only determine by her lip color
Drew Barrymore has been in the entertainment industry for a long, long time, and has had several distinct phases over the years. There were the years she was an adorable child star, her troubled pre-teen period, her teenage years and early 20s, and then everything that came after that. It's tougher to identify what period of her life she's in when looking at pictures of her during her late 20s onwards because, well, she's looked the same for about two decades! The one clear indicator of her age is generally her makeup and hairstyle - you can usually guess what time period the shot is from based on what trending style she's rocking. But, if you just look at the face? The woman is not aging. We know she's involved with a beauty line, but we want even more secrets, because her face looks incredible.
13 Jennifer Lopez, who is literally aging backwards
We're not even joking - Jennifer Lopez has looked the same for literally about twenty years. In fact, she almost seems to be getting even more gorgeous with age, which is quite an accomplishment. Now, clean living has a lot to do with it - Lopez is notorious for her killer exercise regime, clean diet, and avoidance of a lot of things like cigarettes and alcohol. She knows that how she looks is a big part of her success, so she makes sure to maintain that part of her image. However, even clean living can't really account for how little she's aged over the years. We wouldn't be too surprised if somewhere, deep down, she had a secret fountain of youth that she's been sipping from all these years. I mean, how else do you explain it?!
12 Pharrell, who has looked the same since 1990 - that's nearly three decades!
Pharrell has been in the industry for years now, both as part of the band N*E*R*D and also recently as a solo act and talented producer. He's a man of many talents, and seems to constantly be on the move, bouncing from one project to the next. However, that busy lifestyle certainly hasn't taken a toll on his looks at all - not only has he not aged since he entered the public eye, he also doesn't seem to have aged from even his younger days. If you look at the photo of him taken way back in 1990, he basically looks identical to the way he looks today - and the saga simply continues! Pharrell has looked the same for roughly 30 years now, so we're pretty sure he's not even human, and we're almost certain he's going to look the exact same another 30 years from now.
11 Lori Loughlin, who looks even more stunning than when she played Aunt Becky
When Fuller House appeared on Netflix, everyone lost their minds over how handsome John Stamos still was, but can we take a second to talk about the other cast member who literally hasn't aged since the show aired way back in the 90s? Lori Loughlin. Loughlin is 53 years old, but often plays the mom of younger children, or simply a younger woman, because, well, she looks way younger than her years! In fact, thanks to some unfortunate fashion choices that were on trend back in the 90s, she almost looks even younger now than she did during her Full House days. This woman is still going to look like she's in her 40s when she's 70 - seriously, she must have that fountain of youth hidden somewhere, because there's no way someone ages like this!
10 John Cho, who could very easily still play a college student
If you put him in the right clothing and gave him the right hairstyle, John Cho could probably still pass for a university student. He tends to take on roles where he's roughly in the 30-something age range, and even that is punching below his actual age - in reality, Cho is 45 years old! We know, we didn't believe it either. He has an air of seriousness that adds some maturity, but if he's styled the right way, he definitely looks way younger than his age - and he doesn't seem to have aged much at all during his years in Hollywood. We have a feeling Cho will stay looking the way he does for another decade, at least, before time starts to add a few wrinkles to his face and grey hair to his jet black mane.
9 Jennifer Aniston, whose hair is the only indication of how old she is when a picture was taken
We can pretty much all agree that Jennifer Aniston isn't a regular human, right? She has literally not aged since midway through Friends, which is nearly twenty years ago now. Very early in her career, she had a slightly different look - a bit of a fuller face, darker brown hair - but in the last decade or so, she's rocked a pretty consistent look. Sure, she's mixed up her hairstyle, but she's known for her California chic vibe - bronzed skin, bronzed hair, and a toned physique. She's revealed snippets of what her diet and workout regime look like, but that still can't explain just how phenomenal she looks. She for sure has a fountain of youth somewhere, we'd bet money on it. I mean, how else do you explain how she hasn't aged since like, 2000?
8 Will Smith, who could still pass for his teenage self if given the right retro wardrobe and haircut
Okay, seriously, consider this for a second. If you took Will Smith now, put him in the type of clothing he wore during his The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air days and changed his hair up a little bit, he'd basically look like a twin of his former self. That's because Smith pretty much hasn't aged since he was on the show, which aired in the '90s. That's a pretty impressive statement. Of course, he has a good partner by his side - Jada Pinkett Smith also looks absolutely incredible for her age. Seriously, did those two go 50/50 on a fountain of youth somewhere hidden on their estate? We have to wonder, because there's just no way someone manages to escape the entire aging process like this! It's just insane how good he looks.
7 Sarah Michelle Gellar, who we would still buy as a young vampire slayer
Sarah Michelle Gellar made her debut on all our television screens officially twenty years ago now, back in 1997, when Buffy the Vampire Slayer kicked off. She looked like your average gorgeous blonde, and she's only gotten even more gorgeous since then. Her face has matured a little bit, sure, but we'd still very easily believe that she's in her 20s and not in her 40s. I mean, the woman looks amazing. She's branched out a bit lately from the entertainment industry, trying her hand in some entrepreneurial ventures, and like her hubby Freddie Prinze Jr. she absolutely loves to cook. Perhaps spending a bit more time in the kitchen is the secret to her youthful appearance? If so, we're all about to head into the kitchen ASAP! I mean, it never hurts to try, right?
6 Paul Rudd, who looks like the same guy we fell for in Clueless
Paul Rudd has become a way bigger star lately, playing everyone from superheroes to the husband of everyone's favorite kooky Friends character, Phoebe, but Rudd first popped into every woman's heart when he played the adorable Josh in Clueless. Cher was in love with all the other guys first, but you could tell that Josh was the true catch - which she eventually found out herself! It's not too hard to be nostalgic for the younger Paul Rudd because, well, he basically looks the same now as he did when he played Josh. His incredible sense of humour means he's taken on a lot more comedic roles than strictly leading man roles in rom coms, but he's able to do both because he looks so darn handsome. He's the perfect mix of geeky and gorgeous.
5 Rachel Weisz, who will be a gorgeous porcelain-skinned brunette for decades to come
Honestly, we're a little shook to discover that Rachel Weisz is nearly fifty years old - 47, to be exact - because she could easily pass for someone in her early 30s, if not late 20s! While countless actresses were getting all bronzed up in tanning beds, Weisz has always rocked her natural porcelain skin, and that has definitely paid off big time in the long run. She's basically been frozen in time for the past two decades, and looks the same now as when she first made her debut in Hollywood, if not even better! No wonder she managed to snag hottie Daniel Craig - he's lucky to have a fox like her as his wife! Sure, he was James Bond, but she could very easily be a Bond girl today given how amazing she looks.
4 Mario Lopez, who is one '90s outfit away from being AC Slater again
Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who played Zack Morris on Saved by the Bell, looks like a completely different man today than he did back then - and not just because he's no longer rocking black hair. He still looks amazing, but definitely different. However, Mario Lopez is a whole other matter. If you gave him those curls back and slipped him into a wrestling uniform or high-rise retro jeans, he would look just like he did when he played AC Slater on the show. We're not sure if the dimple just adds to his youthful appearance or if he just doesn't wrinkle, period, but there's no doubting that he looks absolutely incredible. Seriously - where are all these celebrities getting their fountains of youth, and how can we get our hands on one?
3 Beyonce, a legit queen who never ages
Beyonce has rocked a lot of different hairstyles over the years, and a lot of different looks in general. She's not a woman who is afraid of bold fashion, so ever since she kicked off her solo career, she's been serving up look after look. Now, it can be tough to remember that she's only 36, because it seems like she's been in the industry for about a thousand years - that's because she got her start with girl group Destiny's Child when she was still a teen. However, one thing is for sure - she's looked the same for as long as we can remember, and we have a feeling that Bey will continue looking just as gorgeous as she does now for the next thirty years to come. Blue Ivy got some fantastic genes, that's for sure!
2 Kylie Minogue, who looks just as stunning now as when she started - in the 80s!
While she may not be quite as big a deal in North America as she is in her native Australia, she's still a household name. In fact, many were on her side when she took issue with Kylie Jenner trying to trademark their shared first name - she had been performing as Kylie Minogue for decades! However, Minogue certainly doesn't look like someone who has been in the entertainment industry for around three decades, and that's solely because of how young she still looks. She has an entirely different look now than when she first started out, because, well, the '80s and early '90s were a different time when it came to fashion and beauty, but she looks just as gorgeous. We'd love some tips on her for how she keeps her look (and, honestly, how she's managed to stay on top in a competitive industry for so long!)
1 Gwen Stefani, who will rock platinum locks and a bold lip until she's 90, probably
Ah, Gwen. When she first stepped onto the scene as the sassy female vocalist for No Doubt, she had braces and colourful hair and was devoted to a punk look that didn't necessarily do that much for her gorgeous physique. As her career progressed, she figured out her ideal look - chic with a bit of a punk rock edge - and she's now known for her trademark platinum blonde hair and bold lip colour. However, it's tough to tell exactly when any photo of her was taken, because she's looked the same for well over a decade. Seriously - we're totally dying to know all her secrets, and we hope that someday she decides to pen a book detailing all her beauty tips and tricks in detail, because we would pay good money for that. I mean, how is it even possible that she's looked the same for basically forever?
