Getting older seems to be totally taboo in Hollywood, but these celebrities are proving that age is just a number. While some of these stars may have hit the big and small screen before you were old enough to watch, they are still turning heads — and inspiring envy — decades later.
We love it when celebs share their secrets to aging beautifully and gracefully (so we can steal them, of course). For some, it's all about keeping up their strict health regimens and taking care of their bodies, but others are simply genetically blessed. Either way, they look far younger than their years, and we only hope we can follow in their footsteps.
Here are 25 celebrities who have only gotten hotter with time — trust us, you will be shocked to see some of their ages.
George Clooney, Age 60
George Clooney will always make the list of hottest men — ever! And time has only been good to this silver fox. And is it just us, or has he gotten even sexier since he became a husband and a dad? We just can't imagine a day when George's Hollywood heartthrob status ever slips.
Pierce Brosnan, Age 68
Irish-born Pierce Brosnan has the ultimate advantage because he's been hot in every James Bond movie, and those images are burned into our minds. While acting as the famous secret agent, Brosnan was already in his 40s, and yeah, he's still got it at nearly 70.
John Stamos, Age 57
John Stamos looks like he could charm the skin off of a snake, and those picture-perfect looks have served him well over the years. He is as handsome as ever, every time we see him on our TV screens. And though he's beginning to get a little gray hair, it sure looks good on him.
Angela Bassett, Age 62
If you want to talk about hot body goals, you have to include Angela Bassett. How she looks this good at age 62 we cannot figure out, but she is the poster woman for aging gracefully. And the best part is that she's a natural beauty through and through.
Nicole Kidman, Age 54
If you were to look up the definition for Hollywood glamor, you'd undoubtedly find Nicole Kidman's face. She's eternally elegant, graceful, and talented. And at 54, she's aged amazingly well. We're sure Keith Urban feels lucky to have her by his side.
Sandra Bullock, Age 56
Thanks to her early acting roles, Sandra Bullock always seemed like the girl-next-door type. In her mid-40s, that all changed when she starred in the romantic dramedy The Proposal, and we got to see a sexier side of her. More than a decade later, she still looks incredible while preserving that youthful freshness she's so famous for.
Liam Neeson, Age 69
Liam Neeson didn't hop onto our hot radar until he was already 50 years old (he was super crush-worthy in 2003's Love Actually), and we haven't looked back. His rugged good looks and deep Irish lilt make him a shoo-in for this list. Watching him on-screen now — especially in his action scenes — it's truly hard to believe he's on the brink of turning 70.
Jennifer Lopez, Age 51
Jennifer Lopez seems to have all the makings of a sex siren — an amazing body, beautiful looks, smooth dance skills, and acting chops. We would have a hard time believing she is 51 if we hadn't watched her portray a young Selena way back in 1995. We can see why former flame Ben Affleck scooped her back up the minute she was single again.
Gwen Stefani, Age 51
Having the chance to watch Gwen Stefani on TV weekly on The Voice, we've seen her becoming sexier and more outgoing than ever before. She even caught the eye of a younger Blake Shelton, and you'd never be able to tell their seven-year age difference based on looks alone.
Vanessa Williams, Age 58
Vanessa Williams has always been a stunner — her title as Miss America proves that. But at nearly 60 now, her beauty still hasn't faded, and she is just as confident and attractive as ever. Seriously, what is her secret? We're dying to know.
Bradley Cooper, Age 46
Bradley Cooper may have started out as a pretty boy, but he can up the sex appeal when the role calls for it. While 46 is certainly not old, he is a little more seasoned — but his good looks shine brighter than ever. And now that he's a dad, he's even more swoon-worthy.
BD Wong, Age 60
Although BD Wong is mostly acting in serious scenarios on Law & Order: SVU, we can't help but notice he's got a little sex appeal under the surface. It's subtle, and sometimes that's the best kind of all. He keeps us glued to our TV screens — and not just because of the riveting police drama.
Bruce Willis, Age 66
Bruce Willis is known for his tough-guy exterior (Die Hard cemented that), but we imagine he's probably a big softie at heart. What we do know for sure, though, is that he continues to get hotter with age, no matter what role he takes on. He looks so good, in fact, that he managed to snag a wife who is 23 years younger than him.
Christie Brinkley, Age 67
It's no secret how Christie Brinkley has maintained her amazing looks. The former supermodel owns an anti-aging skin care line — and she's walking proof that her potions work. It doesn't hurt that she also keeps up a rigorous workout routine to maintain her famous "Uptown Girl" figure.
Cindy Crawford, Age 55
Even supermodels aren't guaranteed to still look hot in their older years, but Cindy Crawford certainly does. She can still rock a bikini better than some women half her age, and her flawless face has hardly changed from the days when she was a fixture in the pages of fashion magazines everywhere.
Giancarlo Esposito, Age 63
What is it about villains that get our temperatures rising? Giancarlo Esposito played the chilling bad guy, Gus Fring, in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and he made it look oh-so good. He defies all the aging stereotypes.
Kurt Russell, Age 70 & Goldie Hawn, Age 75
A couple that stays together, ages well together? We have to wonder if Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn's enduring love over the decades — they've been an item for more than 37 years — is part of the secret to keeping their youthful good looks. These two are showing that you can still have plenty of spunk — and sex appeal — in your 70s.
Halle Berry, Age 54
Halle Berry was named one of People's 50 Most Beautiful People back in 2003 and honestly, she could have stayed on the list from then on. She has aged amazingly well, and we would be so grateful to know her beauty tips. You'd need a magnifying glass to find a hint of a wrinkle on her.
Hugh Jackman, Age 52
Hugh Jackman is a man of many talents, including looking hot at all times. Staying in tip-top shape for his role as Wolverine has definitely served him very well. He continues to show up — and steal coveted roles from — much younger Hollywood leading men. You go, Hugh!
Idris Elba, Age 48
Another staple on the hottest people alive lists over the years, actor Idris Elba maintains his appeal at nearly 50. And that sexy British accent of his is the cherry on top. When it comes to aging, he's like a fine wine. And we like wine!
Julia Roberts, Age 53
Julia Roberts was the pretty woman in the '90s — and she still is in our book. Beauty, grace, charisma, and a touch of America's sweetheart charm make her one celebrity who we will never get tired of watching, especially since she never seems to age.
Lenny Kravitz, Age 56
Lenny Kravitz exudes that classic bad-boy image and has always been someone we would love to rock out with. And his good looks definitely haven't faded over the years now that he's in his 50s. Maybe it's that raw vegan diet he eats that's behind his fountain-of-youth appearance.
Robin Wright, Age 55
Robin Wright commands attention both on- and off-screen. At age 55, we can hardly notice a difference from the captivating young girl we met in Forrest Gump back in 1994. She has a classic beauty that's definitely standing the test of time.
Salma Hayek, Age 54
Salma Hayek has aged very well — and watching her in the 2021 movie Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard puts her sultry, movie-star beauty front and center. She's married to French billionaire François-Henri Pinault, who certainly knows all about the finer things in life, and he chose her. So that says all you need to know!
