30 Stars You Won’t Believe Are The Same Age

Sometimes, when we look at celebrities with their hair and makeup done perfectly, it might be hard to guess their age. Some of them have a 20-step skincare routine, making it even harder to guess. Moreover, stars who have been in the industry for a long time might appear older than newer stars – But it’s still surprising how many of these celebrities are of the same age. This is why we made a list of celebrities the same age.

Keep reading to find out more about who is the same age as whom. You are going to be surprised and might need several minutes to process.

J.Lo & Jack Black

It might come off as a shock, but J.Lo and Jack Black are the same age. These two icons could not look more vastly different. While the comedy king mostly sports a salt-and-pepper look, J.Lo looks like she hasn’t aged a single day in 20 years. Not that either look is terrible, but she needs to drop her skincare routine.

Not just that, but both of them are 52. We can’t even begin to imagine how they are even managing to look still as good as ever. Never has aging been more confusing.

Adele & Vanessa Hudgens

Highschool Musical was 16 years ago. Let it sink in while we serve another shocker. Vanessa Hudgens is 33 and pretty much the same age as Adele. Adele was a lot older in our heads. But the reality is that despite being an old soul, Adele was born in the same year as Vanessa.

Although Vanessa is still 33, she will hit her 34th birthday in December, following which she will indeed be the same age as Adele. Time is flying by too fast!

Madonna & Ellen DeGeneres

It is hard to believe that Madonna is 64 already. Our Material Girl looks just as fine as ever, and Ellen is the same age as her. Although both these celebs provide top-notch entertainment, the aspect of them that we are discussing today is their age. After all, we can’t look that good at 64 and not expect people to talk!

But seriously, they need to let us in on the secret about what they do to keep themselves in such good shape.

Paul Rudd & Marilyn Manson

Here are two more people who do not look the same- Paul Rudd and Marilyn Manson. Paul Rudd’s inability to look older as he ages might stun everyone with this one, but he is 53 and the same age as Marilyn Manson. With his intense smoky eye, Manson might look much older than Rudd, but in reality, they are just months apart.

So, if we thought a heavy metal rock singer and a man named Ruddish could not have more in common, we might want to reconsider that.

Will Smith & Celine Dion

There is something that the Queen of our hearts and the fresh prince have in common. And, yes, it is their age. Both Celine Dion and Will Smith are the same age.

klatsch-tratsch.de

It is crazy how quickly time has passed since Smith was on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Celine Dion sang “My Heart Will Go On.” It is already a surprise that they are already 54, but to think they are also the same age. No one was prepared for this one.

Bill Gates & Kris Jenner

Bill Gates and Kris Jenner are of the same age. Feels like a fever dream. But what I say is the truth. Bible. Both the stars of Microsoft and reality tv are 65 years old.

It might come off as a shocker due to Jenner’s lavish lifestyle. While Gates looks his age, she often has her hair and makeup done. It is why most people tend to forget how old she is. But it makes us think just how much we can do with millions of dollars.

MGK & Thomas Brodie Sangster

I bet we all have the same surprised Pikachu face, It might be hard to believe, but the baby-faced actor and the tatted-up musician are the same age.

promiflash

While it might not be a shock to everyone that Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) is in his 30s, the fact that Sangster is the same age as him might be mindblowing. Seriously, Sangster has looked the same since he was a child actor. He looks like he hasn’t aged in 20 years, which might be why we, too, forget that he sometimes has.

Angela Bassett & Michelle Pfeiffer

Here is a classic example of how our perception of time can deceive us. One would think that Michelle Pfifer, the woman who rocked the world with her beauty in the 1980s and 90s, would be much ahead compared to the American Horror Story celebrity, but that is not the case!

Angella Bassett is currently 64 years of age as well, making her the same age as Pfifer. Imagine looking that youthful even at 64! Someone, please get their skincare routine!

John Cena & Jason Earles

For those who watched Hannah Montana growing up, seeing these John Cena and Jason Earles on the same screen might not be weird. After all, Cena did make a cameo in the show where Earles was one of the main characters.

But what might come off as a bit of a shock is that they are of the same age. So yes, in that one episode where Cena was wrestling the annoying teenager, played by Earles, they were the same age! They don’t look like they could be the same age when we stand them up side-by-side.

Future & T-Pain

T-pain is a household name for anyone who enjoys rap music and Auto-tune. He has been on everyone’s radio since 1999, but he isn’t even that old. At just 37 years of age, this rapper feels much older than us because of how long he has been around. But that does not mean Future is the new kid in town, either.

Beginning his career in 2005, Future has been on the scene for some time too, and he is the same age as T-pain. So, beef isn’t the only thing they share.

Pharrell Williams & Kate Moss

Despite their flawless skin, it is hard to believe that the fashion icon and hitmaker are of the same age! I guess it is mainly because we never considered that they could have been born in the same year.

But we still can’t deny that both look incredible despite growing older. Time to wonder what they use to wash their faces and have them stalked out of every store!

Joaquin Phoenix & Ryan Seacrest

With barely an age gap of 2 months, Joaquin Phoenix and Ryan Seacrest are of the same age. However, the images we will find on Google make it seem like otherwise. Phoenix is often seen sporting a salt-and pepper-look. In contrast, the American Idol host does not seem to have developed a single extra wrinkle!

What’s funny is that Seacrest has said that he can’t seem to get rid of his baby face, and we sure do hope he doesn’t get rid of it any time soon.

Ciara & Drake Bell

We grew up with Drake & Josh, but it is hard to believe how much time has passed. Drake Bell is now 35 years old! The reality of it takes a second to sink in, but what is even a harder pill to swallow is that the singer, Ciara, is also the same age as him!

It is probably hard to believe that they are the same age because they are at different stages of life. While Bell has already been through the prime of his career, Ciara is still leveling up and experiencing her peak.

Tom Hanks & Steve Harvey

Just as with the unpredictability of a box of chocolates, one can never know which two celebrities will turn out to be of the same age. And in this case, it is Tom Hanks and Steve Harvey. These two iconic stars of Hollywood are, in fact, just a few months apart!

Sure, Harvey will not be reaching his 66th birthday till January, but that does not change how close they are to each other’s ages. They are making us question our perceptions of time.

Sophie Turner & Zendaya

Perhaps we never realized just how young Sophie Turner was because of her part as the Queen of the North. She has been ruling our television channels for so long that we forget how she was just 13 when Game of Thrones started.

On the other hand, we have Zendaya, who is perhaps older than we thought! Since she was a Disney star as a child and is continuing to play a high schooler in Euphoria, we might have forgotten that she is older than 18. Nonetheless, the real shocker is still that Turner and Zendaya are the same age.

Shakira & Anna Faris

Shakira and Anna Faris are another pair of celebrities sharing the same birth year, which amazes fans at their coinciding timelines. The Colombian singer, known for her electrifying performances, seems to defy time with her youthful energy and appearance.

On the flip side, Anna Faris, the comedic talent lighting up the silver screen, shares a similarly ageless vibe. Both turned 45 recently, yet their vibrant careers and fresh-faced looks tell a story of perpetual youth. As they continue to dazzle in their respective fields, one can’t help but marvel at their parallel paths of ageless charm and talent.

Jay-Z & Matthew Perry

Yes, the actor, famously known for playing the sarcastic heartthrob in Friends, and the rapper, who has certainly rocked a fella, are both 52. Born in 1969, Chandler and Jay-Hova might feel like they are of different ages, but the reality is much different. With the age gap of just a few months, there is no doubt that both Jayz and Perry were born in the same year.

They share another intriguing parallel. Not only were they born in the same year, but they both skyrocketed to fame in 1994, the landmark year when Friends started airing and Jay-Z made his debut. While Jay-Z continues to enthrall the world with his music, the narrative took a somber turn for Matthew Perry who, amidst a life of ups and downs, tragically passed away in October 2023, leaving a legacy of humor and heartfelt performances that continue to resonate with audiences globally.

Billie Eilish & Skai Jackson

Perhaps it’s her style that makes us forget that Billie Eilish is all grown up now, but she is currently 20 years old and the same age as Skai Jackson. And, yes, the Disney star is all grown up as well.

Having kept up with them since “Ocean Eyes” and Jessie, it is natural that we find it hard to believe that these kids are all grown up. Someone grabs some Kleenex; there’s someone cutting onions here.

Elliot Page & Kesha

Elliot Page and Kesha, both born in 1987, share not only their year of birth but also a profound impact on popular culture through their respective fields. Elliot Page, known for his breakthrough role in the critically acclaimed film “Juno,” has been a prominent figure in Hollywood. His performances have earned him widespread acclaim, and he has become an influential voice for the LGBTQ+ community, especially after coming out as transgender.

Kesha, on the other hand, burst onto the music scene with her hit single “Tik Tok” in 2009, quickly becoming a pop sensation. Her music, often characterized by its lively beats and catchy lyrics, has dominated charts worldwide. Beyond her musical talents, Kesha has been a vocal advocate for mental health awareness and animal rights, using her platform to champion various social causes.

Samuel L. Jackson & Meryl Streep

We can’t seriously believe that Meryl Streep is 72 years old. After all, she looks that good, even in her 70s. Moreover, Samuel L. Jackson is the same age as her! That’s a lot to take in.

But Hall isn’t the only Regina who should be credited for aging beautifully. Other than their names, Regina Hall and Regina King also have their ages in common. With just a month’s age difference, both these celebs are currently 51 years old.

Margot Robbie & Sarah Hyland

Having played the role of Haley Dunphy in Modern Family, most people who have seen the show can not see Sarah Hyland as anyone other than the spoiled teenager. The image of Haley has stuck to Hyland, and we refuse to believe that she is not a teenager anymore. Hence, it is tough to imagine her as the same age as Margot Robbie.

Although Robbie looks as young as ever, it is still shocking to think that they could be of the same age.

Halsey & HoYeon Jung

Even though she just made her debut, Jung Hoyeon has become a favorite for all the Squid Game lovers. And, despite looking more mature in her teal tracksuit, it is hard to believe that she is 28 years old.

It makes Jung the same age as a hitmaker, Halsey. But, people might think that Halsey is a lot older than Jung because she has already been in the industry for years. That is not the case, though. Halsey is about two months younger than Jung.

Paul Giamatti & Vin Diesel

Vin Diesel and Paul Giamatti were both born in 1967. However, fans are often surprised at this revelation given how differently these actors have been perceived in Hollywood. There is a drastic difference between the types of characters they usually play. Vin Diesel is certainly one of the industry’s favorite action stars whereas Giamatti leans towards neurotic Average-Joe characters.

Giamatti rose to fame with his breakout role in the movie “Private Parts.” Vin Diesel, on the other hand, is a part of the famous action movie franchise, “Fast and Furious.”

Gwen Stefani & Cate Blanchett

The ‘90s were the years when Gwen Stefani ruled everyone’s hearts. It seems like yesterday the singer was selling out stadiums and donning crop tops with No Doubt, her band. That’s probably why we were puzzled when we figured out that she was born in the same year as Australian actress, Cate Blanchett. These fabulous women were born in 1969 and ruled over the arenas and silver screen respectively with their stellar talents.

Blanchett has stuck to primarily bold, mature roles, including that of Cinderella’s evil stepmother in Walt Disney’s “Cinderella.” Stefani was mostly a pop icon back in the day.

Kim Kardashian & Christina Ricci

While it may be difficult to imagine now, less than two decades ago, people did not know much about Kim Kardashian. The influencer became a household name through the show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” which took viewers through the luxurious and often chaotic lives of the Kardashian-Jenner clan. By the time Kardashian became relevant (2003), Ricci had a decade’s worth of acting experience to her name.

Ryan Gosling & Macaulay Culkin

For those of us who grew up with the “Home Alone” franchise, it may be hard to think that the movies were first released over three decades ago. The first and second editions of the popular children’s franchise had adorable child Macaulay Culkin in the main role. His brilliant acting took the world by storm, keeping the movies relevant to date. This should also mean that his age shouldn’t come as a surprise. Even then, most fans would not think about comparing him to smoldering actor Ryan Gosling.

Nick Offerman’s character on the famous sitcom “Parks and Recreation” had a signature frown on his face. Perhaps that made him appear older in the series. In real life, he appears much more youthful. When the series aired in 2009, Swanson was in his late 30’s. Meanwhile, Matt Damon landed an Oscar at 27. While it takes many talented actors years to even land a nomination for the prestigious Academy Awards, Damon took the golden statuette home for his role in “Good Will Hunting.” He won another Oscar in 2016.

For those who don’t know, Ferrell got his big break as a part of the NBC sketch comedy, “Saturday Night Live” cast. And he has been around longer than Keith Urban, a beloved country singer.

Halsey & Dakota Fanning

Dakota Fanning entered the glorious lights of Hollywood when she was only seven after she starred in the movie “I Am Sam.” That was also the performance that earned her the nomination for a Screen Actors Guild award, making her the youngest individual to achieve such a feat. Her success at that young age may explain why fans often refuse to acknowledge she is the same age as the popular musician Halsey.

Born in 1994, Halsey’s songs cover a wide range of topics but most of them focus on mature audiences. She comfortably breaches the topic of heartbreaks, mental health, personal struggles, and more.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Tom Hiddleston

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has what they call “a baby face”; and a perfect one at that. No matter how old the actor gets, his fans will never get over him playing a teen in the ‘90s in “10 Things I Hate About You” and “3rd Rock From the Sun.” The “500 Days of Summer” famed actor was born in 1981, the same as British actor Tom Hiddleston.

Apart from his role as Loki in the Marvel movies, Hiddleston gained Internet fame for his funny personality. When compared side by side, these men are so different that no one would assume they are the same age.

Bhad Bhabie & JoJo Siwa

Even though they have both been under the spotlight for a while now, Bhad Bhabie and JoJo Siwa feel like they belong at two different times. While Siwa has maintained her image as the energetic sparkly teenager, Bhad Bhabie (Danielle Bregoli) has gone a different route with her “bad-girl” image. And, despite being of completely different vibes, they are the same age!

Both at the age of 19 have a fair share of influence on their pre-teen and teen audience. And, as it turns out, both of them have taken jabs at each other for being role models. They better not catch each other outside, I guess.

Snoop Dogg & Jada Pinkett Smith

Remember, kids, while eating vegetables are healthy, staying away from some greens is better. And that is because Snoop Dogg and Jada Pinkett Smith are the same age but sure don’t look like it.

Let’s just say that Uncle Snoop had the wrong kind of greens while Smith had the right kind. Their definitions of self-care have been vastly different from one another. Hence, even though they are both 50, she looks significantly younger.

Gabrielle Union & Rose McGowan

Having made dozens of appearances on tv sitcoms in the 90s, Gabrielle Union is the definition of youthfulness. Seriously, her managing not to age despite having been in the scene for over 20 years is a wonder.

But what is more shocking is that the child actress from Charmed is the same age as her! Both must be drinking some special water because neither of them looks like they are about to hit their 50s.

Both these stars have been heartthrobs for decades, yet the fact that they are the same age feels a little out of place. Maybe they both have a lot more in common than we thought.
