Hollywood is a beauty industry, and they make no apology for it. Though we hear numerous horror stories about aspiring actresses "aging out" in their mid-20s, losing their chance at stardom forever, some celebs can still go toe to toe with their younger peers despite pushing 50. Some of the stars on this list you know well.
Others, you may have lost track of. Either way, when we tell you how old they really are, your response is going to be the same: "WUT???" Don't believe us? Get clicking to find out how old stars like Jennifer Aniston, Jared Leto, and Dylan McDermott really are, and then join us in crossing our fingers that our genes are that good.
Alyson Hannigan
Some of Willow's magic must have followed actress Alyson Hannigan after Buffy the Vampire Slayer because she looks exactly the same as when the show aired its season finale in 2003.
Hannigan is 42 years old!
Raquel Welch
It's been years since Raquel Welch turned the cavewoman into a sex symbol ... 50 to be exact!
Welch looks to be a stunning forty-something, but she's actually 76!
Jennifer Aniston
Though Friends looks more and more dated with every passing year, the same can't be said of one of its stars, Jennifer Aniston.
The A-list actress is an unbelievable 47 years old!
Chuck Norris
"Chuck Norris died 20 years ago, Death just hasn't had the courage to tell him," as the joke goes.
Norris may be the internet's favorite tongue-in-cheek joke, but he's still kicking ass at 76.
Tom Cruise
Cruise is a little more weathered compared to his Top Gun days, but he hardly looks 54.
Of course, it's entirely possible the real Tom Cruise is actually in cryogenic stasis in a Scientology warehouse somewhere.
Christie Brinkley
International superstar model Christie Brinkley could still land a Sports Illustrated cover anytime she wants.
At 62, she has aged with more grace and beauty than anyone.
Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani was in her 20s when No Doubt released Tragic Kingdom in 1995.
Now she's 47, but if you ask us, she hasn't changed a bit in over 20 years.
Lori Loughlin
Full House star Lori Loughlin puts soccer moms in their 30s to shame.
She has a bit more wisdom on her face these days, but she still barely looks 52.
Halle Berry
Call it genetics if you like, but there must be some kind of supernatural explanation for Halle Berry's resistance to aging.
She could easily pass for a woman in her 20s, despite turning 50 last year.
Keanu Reeves
Keanu is graying in the beard a bit since his Matrix days 20 years ago, but if he shaved clean, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
He's 52 years old.
Jared Leto
Men get more rugged as they age, except for Jared Leto who will always look like he's 20.
The actor and musician is an unfathomable 45 years old.
Seth Green
Green is as fresh-faced and youthful as he was during Buffy the Vampire Slayer, despite the fact that he's now 42.
The whole cast has aged really well, actually. A Netflix revival wouldn't be that unrealistic, hint hint.
Penelope Cruz
Spanish actress Penelope Cruz became an international sex symbol in the early 2000s, and dios mio, she still looks almost exactly the same at age 42.
Lucy Liu
Lucy Liu was the next big "it" girl in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Though she doesn't seem to be chasing the limelight as much anymore, she's gorgeous as ever at age 48.
Kelly Hu
You know Kelly Hu from that thing (for most of you, either Scorpion King or X2: X-Men United).
She has branched off into activism and professional poker playing, but despite being 48 years old, she looks about the same as she did in her 20s.
Samuel L. Jackson
Box office mainstay Samuel L. Jackson looks like a middle-aged man and has for about 40 years.
Would you believe that he's actually 68?
Iman
Iman is a successful businesswoman, model, and the widow of musician David Bowie.
She looks like she's in her 30s, but she's actually twice that with 61 years under her belt. Here's to the next 60, Iman.
Pharrell
Pharrell Williams hit mainstream success in the last decade, but he's been in the game since the 90s.
He looks youthful, but that's probably a testament to his health more than anything. He's 43!
Jason Earles
Jason Earles played Miley Cyrus' older brother in Hannah Montana.
While they looked pretty similar in age, Earles is 16 years her senior, making him 39.
Sofia Vergara
Vergara became an international star after Modern Family, even though she's been modeling since she was 17.
She's 44 years old now, but her status as a sex symbol endures.
Salma Hayek
Hayek took some action roles in the early 2000s because she wanted to be able to look back on those films and remember how young and athletic she used to be.
It's going to be a few more decades before she'll see a difference. She's 50 but has barely aged a day since her 20s.
Christina Hendricks
Hendricks redefined the femme fatale for TV during her tenure on AMC's Mad Men.
She looks 10 years younger than she is at age 41.
Jason Statham
Jason Statham still performs his own stunts, even at 49.
Whatever his diet and exercise routine look like, it's safe to say it's working.
Dylan McDermott
McDermott looks like he's in his mid-30s, but film and TV star is actually 55.
He can keep pulling leading roles for decades to come with those genes.
