Born in 1954, these two 60-year-olds don’t look like they could be the same age. Quaid still looks like he could easily be in his 40s, while Travolta’s lengthy career and more weathered looks make him appear his age.
It’s no small wonder that people will always assume Selena Gomez is younger than her years, given her start as a Disney Channel star. But Gomez was born in 1992, the same year as bombshell actress and model Kate Upton, who is well known for her more… mature appearance.
Born in 1961, both Eddie Murphy and Forest Whitaker are 53-years-old, but Murphy’s association with more youthful roles, such as “Dr. Doolittle” and “Shrek,” may make him seem younger. Meanwhile, Whitaker’s career has focused on more serious roles, and his intense character acting, particularly in his Oscar-winning performance in “The Last King of Scotland,” makes him seem older.
“Clueless” star Stacy Dash will be forever immortalized for her role in the teen cult classic, which often makes it hard to remember that she has in fact gradated from high school by now. Dash was born in 1967, the same year as actor (and Marvel’s Hulk of the moment) Mark Ruffalo, making both of them 46-years-old.
As The Rock has been in the public eye for years, getting his start as a professional wrestler before moving into acting, it seems he is older than his 42 years. Meanwhile, John Cho is best known for his role in the teen cult classic, “Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle,” as well as his roles in the “American Pie” films, making it hard to believe he is already in his 40s. But, indeed, both actors were born in 1972.
It’s hard to believe that the “Call Me Maybe” star is older than 16, let alone almost 29, but Carly Rae Jepsen was born the same year as Academy Award nominee Keira Knightley in 1985. Knightley has been acting for over a decade, while Jepsen just recently burst onto the scene, thanks to an assist from teen pop sensation, Justin Bieber.
These two 45-year-olds were both born in 1969, but their vastly different careers make them seem years apart. Jay Z’s rap career, and mega-marriage to superstar Beyoncé, makes him seem much younger, while the fact that Christian Slater has been acting for ages makes many think he is older than he is.
Carmen Electra has aged fairly quickly since her “Baywatch” days, and doesn’t help matters by caking on the make-up daily. Meanwhile, Selma Blair has retained her youthful features, despite the fact that both actresses were born in 1972 and are 42-years-old.
Angelina Jolie is flawless, but as a mother of six and long-time human rights activist, she appears much more mature, and therefore older, than funnyman Russell Brand (who will probably never grow up). But the truth of it is that they were both born in 1975 – on the same day, in fact – and are 39-years-old.
Basically, Chuck Norris is timeless. He never ages. Don’t believe people when they tell you he was born in 1940, the same year as actors Michael Gambon and James Caan. He is immortal, and will be around forever, so age is irrelevant.
