From Demi Moore to Raquel Welch: Famous Actresses That Appear Younger Than They Are

Published

on

Many women out there are scared of aging, as they feel that losing their youth is the same as losing their beauty. Although with time comes wisdom and maturity, so does the appearance of wrinkles. However, perhaps we can prevent this, just like these actresses managed to. There are a number of actresses who prove that age is just a number and beauty can, in fact, be timeless. From Demi Moore and Bo Derek to Goldie Hawn and Raquel Welch, you would not believe the ages of some of these women. They have all proven that if you take care of your body, it will take care of you. What are their secrets?

Jennifer Lopez

Despite coming from the block, Jenny was born beautiful and nothing has changed that ever since she became a pop sensation. If anything, turning 49 has just improved her looks.

Despite all her career demands, Jennifer Lopez has managed to maintain that signature J-Glow thanks to her hardcore exercise regimen and personal trainer. She denies ever having used plastic surgery and says her glow is probably thanks to her expensive skincare. Lopez also treats herself to an anti-aging diet, whatever that is!

Goldie Hawn

It is pretty hard to believe that this Hollywood ‘good girl’ is now 72. The ageless actress from Private Benjamin had an outstanding career and set precedent for her three children, who are all successful actors themselves.

Her beauty also lies within as she set up a nonprofit organization for youth education. Her secret? Apparently, she has none! She stays active, eats healthy, and drinks her green juice every day. She also uses sheet masks which she once revealed on Instagram.

Demi Moore

Is it just us or has Demi Moore even improved with age?! “I think that laughter and smiling are one of the best antidotes to aging that you could possibly have,” she told Parade in 2010.

Despite this, she is no stranger to trying a beauty innovation every now and then. Moore has opened up about getting non-surgical tightening treatment and leech therapy. If bloodsucking leeches hanging off your body for 40 minutes will make us look like Moore, then there is no harm in trying!

Jane Fonda

After managing to juggle a career as an actress, model, fitness guru, and activist, there is no doubt that Fonda knows how to age too.

Although she is not shy to admit she has had to combat some sagging skin through nip-tuck and has had work on her jawline and under-eye area, Fonda has alternative ways to looking good. Despite her many divorces, she still tries to keep active through exercise and carefully watches what she eats.

Julia Roberts

This Pretty Woman actress became a star for her charming smile and her magnificent acting skills, and nothing has changed in the 25 years since.

People magazine named her the Most Beautiful Woman in the World five times! Surely her $200 million fortune helps towards expensive anti-aging skin care, however, Roberts claims her luminous skin “starts with genetics.” Julia is also known for her organic and gluten-free diet as well as her obsession with Lancome skincare products. She is all natural!

Lisa Bonet

Lisa Bonet is a star from the ’80s who is most remembered for her roles in The Cosby Show and A Different World. She is also famous for her former marriage to rock star Lenny Kravitz.

After being constantly compared to her daughter Zoe Kravitz, who is nearing 30, you would never believe that Bonet is in her “golden years.” Although she has reportedly undergone some plastic surgery to keep her face intact, it is hard to notice exactly what she had done, given her natural and youthful appearance.

Michelle Pfieffer

After being honored with the title of People’s first ‘World’s Most Beautiful Woman’ in 1990, it is no surprise that Michelle Pfeiffer has aged flawlessly.

The actress who starred in Batman made many poor choices in her youth which would damage her aging skin, such as smoking, yet her lack of effort beauty-wise has not caught up with her. Pfieffer now embraces her vegan diet to live long and avoids having plastic surgery, as she claims she does not want to look like a wax figure.

Raquel Welch

She turned heads in the ’60s, and even to this day, this 78-year-old remains one of Hollywood’s best-looking actresses. Okay, we must admit Welch has had some assistance in the aging process, such as cosmetic dentistry.

However, there is no denying she’s still got it. Welch revealed she uses a $9 udder cream to erase aging lines called Bag Balm which is the same ointment farmers use to soothe bruised or sore teats of cattle! Although strange, if it works for Welch, we want some!

Kate Winslet

Everyone knows Kate Winslet for her iconic role as Rose alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. She is now pushing forty-odd and we will be amazed if she has aged this well without any surgical help.


However, during an interview, she explained that her diet is the reason she looks this good. To keep her skin glowing, Kate never consumes any salt or alcohol. While it seems like a hard thing to do, maybe seeing her flattering results are a tempting enough reason to start.

Jennifer Anniston

Jennifer Anniston has not aged a day since first appearing as Rachel Green in the hit sitcom Friends at 24 years old. In fact, she looks younger and younger the older she gets.

The now-49-year-old actress has had a rollercoaster of events in her life from breakups to divorces to scandals, however, none of these has aged her. Her skin glows given her healthy diet, exercise, and lots of water. Who needs a man when you look this good?

Bo Derek

After going beyond the barriers of 60, this beach babe still looks as flawless as she did in the ’70s. She even recently participated in a 3,000-meter swimming marathon, proving age is nothing but a number.

The iconic actress from the movie 10 says aside from her open-water swimming, her secrets include horseback riding and tending to her 110-acre ranch herself. Derek also has a flexitarian diet, which is mostly vegetarian but occasionally includes meat. This diet is said to promote health and prevent diseases.

The top 10 women celebrity crushes we all have

Published

on

By

Look, we all know we are more interested in looking at female celebrities than male ones (except you Ryan, calm down). Here are the top lady crushes most women have:

10. Emma Stone
Emma Stone burst onto our radars as the quirky, offbeat comedy star with a difference. Yes, there’s no denying that she’s beautiful but she’s also a little different, funny and not your typical Hollywood starlet. They say you can’t have it all…

9. Olivia Wilde
Not just a pretty face, Olivia took the stage name Wilde after the one and only Oscar, a testament to her brains too, perhaps? No, mainly because her real name is Olivia Cockburn. No, it is. Not only does she act, she also models, writes, acts and directs. Oh and she just did a shoot with Glamour where she showed just how beautiful is is to be a breastfeeding mum. Swoon.

8. Miranda Kerr
Miranda started out as a Victoria’s Secret model (no surprise there really) and rose through the ranks to become one of the most famous Supermodels of recent times. As if that wasn’t quite enough, she’s also a fashion icon and has the worlds cutest baby with Orlando Bloom. Life envy much?

7. Christina Hendricks
Christina, or as most of us will know her, Joan, the steely star of Mad Men, is as famous for her acting skills as she is for her curves and she never looks as good as when poured into another of those fabulous vintage costumes. Not bitter at all…

6. Mila Kunis
Mila is another classic case of being the girl that every man wants and every woman wants to be. Not just content with being hot, smart, funny and oh yes, engaged to Ashton Kutcher, she’s also a serious film actress when the time calls for it. *Sigh*

5. Jennifer Lawrence
Who doesn’t love Jennifer Lawrence? She proved herself as a worthy actress from the get go and her popularity has been on an upward spike ever since. The fact that she appears to be so grounded, normal and funny only helps to increase our admiration (and love) for her.

4. Alessandra Ambrosio
Brazilian born Alessandra is a Victoria’s Secret model (no surprise there) and there isn’t really much else to say here, so just look at the image below and feel the awe rise up around you.  If you aren’t blessed with her genes, you can always use party casino research to understand how you can win elsewhere – right?

3. Rihanna
Pretty much every sane girl in the world would agree that Rihanna is one of the hottest females ever. She appears to have it all. The looks, talent, money, men (well…), lifestyle, friends. So thank you Rihanna, we officially want to be you right about now.

2. Blake Lively
Blake, the tall, beautiful Gossip Girl star has since moved on from teen dramas and married the equally beautiful Ryan Reynolds. With legs up to her armpits, the most lusted after hair in the business and a wardrobe full of clothes that merely highlight how goddamn hot she is, Blake, we applaud and really want to be you.

1. Beyoncé 
Come on, you had to have known that Beyoncé  would be our number one. It’s Beyoncé for gods sake. A stellar career, the most amazing figure on the planet, riches and an ability to rock a leotard like nobody else, there isn’t much to do apart from just look on in wonder.

In defence of Cassie from Euphoria

Published

on

By

I am a Cassie Howard apologist. Yes, even after last night’s episode of Euphoria. I sympathise with her, even if I don’t condone her choices, or even enjoy watching them most of the time. The problem with being a Cassie stan – as is the case with any of the characters in the Euphoria universe – is that every week the show tests that stance, pushing our problematic faves to new depths of debauchery and dubious morality. Cassie’s character in particular has practically become a meme in itself, with TikTok asking itself, week-on-week, how she can possibly fall any lower in our estimations. Of course, she does it anyway.

Some have speculated online that Cassie is a character foil for Rue, both of them addicts, with the show telling the story of their desperate needs. For Rue, the object of her addiction is opiates, for Cassie, it’s love. Rue’s backstory illustrated to the audience how her life up until now – her family trauma, a healthcare system that over-medicates its children – had primed her for addiction to drugs. In the same way, Cassie’s – growing up with an alcoholic mother and absent addict dad, being se**alised at a young age by older men – primed her for a dependency on male validation. But it’s undoubtedly harder to root for Cassie in spite of her flaws the way we rally for our flawed protagonist Rue to finally get her shit together.

Maybe that’s because Cassie embodies so many of the things we hate, or at least the things we ridicule; the things we collectively recognise are objectively incredibly annoying. Her problems pale in seriousness compared to the others – she’s not self-harming or addicted to opiates or dealing drugs or framing innocent people for crimes they didn’t commit – and so her struggles seem so cheesy, so silly. Cassie’s main dilemma is that she’s sleeping with her best friend’s ex-boyfriend. And she makes such a big deal about it. She falls into a depression spiral and treats her friends badly and dr*inks too much. She throws herself at a man who clearly doesn’t want her. She gets messy and throws up at a birthday party. When she’s exposed by Rue, she deflects the blame with pani*cked vindictiveness. Cassie is completely wrapped up in herself and her struggles, to the point where she doesn’t seem cognisant of the power and privileges she still possesses.

It’s easy to dislike her, I would ar*gue, in moments like this, because it’s relatively easy to see ourselves (or at least our teenage selves) in her messiness. While the problems faced by characters like Cal Jacobs or Ashtray might be so far away from our own lives that we can safely say we’d do it all better and never let ourselves get in those dangerous situations, Cassie’s cheugy, messy emotionality and teenage angst are uncomfortably close. It’s no surprise then, that Cassie has become an emblem of equally painful-to-follow toxic female characters, like Fleabag or the unnamed, but similarly self-indulgent protagonist of Ottessa Moshfegh’s book My Year of Rest and Relaxation. Cassie is in her Fleabag era, but unfortunately for her, there is no Hot Priest-shaped respite for viewers, only Nate Jacobs. And while we do get moments of being able to say “finally, go girl give us something”, like when Cassie walked out of an argument with Nate after saying she was crazier than Maddie, the show almost always instantly subverts them with having Cassie crawl back for more abuse. Annoying to watch? Perhaps. Realistic? From a lonely 17-year-old, sadly yes!

Even when she’s dealing with more serious problems, Euphoria is never far from reminding us of Cassie’s ridiculousness. When she asks Lexi whether she looks different, shortly after finding out she’s pregnant with McKay, Lexi becomes a stand-in for the audience, lashing out at her sister and pointing out how absurd she sounds. For the audience, the dramatic irony is even more potent: we know that while Cassie is experiencing her own personal trauma, she was also totally unequipped to deal with McKay’s (who had just experienced a violent hazing at the hands of his fraternity brothers, and was coming to the crushing realisation that he would never be a professional athlete), which many viewers interpreted as an unwillingness to engage with it too.

Euphoria’s total disregard of character development for McKay – he appeared in the first episode of season two, and has been missing in action ever since – compared to its almost lecherous lingering over Cassie’s every move, has been singled out as one of the show’s many problematic recent decisions. And while online rumours have speculated over whether that was down to actor Algee Smith’s views on vaccinations, the fact remains that Euphoria’s choice to ignore McKay’s struggles in favour of Cassie’s make her OTT breakdowns even more painful to watch. That much is fair: but the fact audience complaints are directed at the fictional character herself, not the polarising showrunner behind those decisions (Sam Levinson), a little more unfair imo!

One constant criticism of Levinson’s writing and of Euphoria as a show, even amongst its hardcore fans, is how over the top and ridiculous it is. How its storylines would never happen in real life (at least not all at once, to one friendship group, in the middle of the school year), and how none of the characters would pass dress code, and how it doesn’t make sense that there are no uggos, only hotties. It’s true that much of the show’s audience has never picked up a suitcase of narcotics and carted it around town on a bicycle, or secretly recorded all of the times we’ve cheated on our suburban wife, or dropped out of school to care for our ex-dr*ug baron grandmother. But you might have drunk too much at a party and thrown up. You probably debased and embarrassed yourself trying too hard for someone who didn’t want you, or ug*ly cried down the phone to people who think you’re being, honestly, a bit self-indulgent and annoying. Every week, Cassie acts out the kind of things you remember at two in the morning and cringe so hard at that it’s impossible to sleep. But it’s hard to admit you were more embarrassing than you currently are, and mortifying to watch someone else do the same, and so we’re like: No, Cassie fu**ing su*ks.

And she does, of course, but I would argue no more so (and in some cases, a lot less so) than any other character in season two of Euphoria. In last night’s episode [spoilers here!] Cassie tries to get out of being exposed for sleeping with Nate by calling Rue a drug addict, after Rue loses her temper with Cassie’s naive attempt to reassure her she can take rehab “one day at a time”. Was that advice cringey? Yes! Is Cassie’s response cruel? Yes! Is it worse than Rue calling Leslie a bad mom? Or Laurie injecting a dopesick 17-year-old with morphine? In the case of the former, I would say sleeping with your best pal’s ex is dubiously worse. But the latter? I mean, probably not! Judging by the episode’s response today on Twitter and Reddit though, that sliding scale of perspective is not a popular excuse for Cassie’s increasingly dumb behaviour. But, I digress!

So yes, I am a Cassie apologist. But, I must caveat, no more so than I am an apologist for any of the other flawed, broken, ug*ly characters in the relentless, unforgiving universe that Sam Levinson created for them to live in. That’s the beauty of Euphoria. For all the criticism the series has received (some of it deserved, some of it TikTok hysteria) its success lies in its ability to make the audience empathise, even for a second, with a man like Cal Jacobs, who created a life of amorality and toxic masculinity to compensate for internalised homophobia. Or with a character like Jules, so lonely and hurt that she’ll cheat on the emotionally unavailable Rue with Elliott. Or Rue, so desperately addicted to drugs that she’ll attack her mother, sister and best friends. You might recoil at their choices but on some level you understand what drove them to those choices too.

It’s entirely possible, of course, that I will regret this appeal for moderation when it comes to burning Cassie Howard at the stake for crimes against humanity and friendship and fashion. There are still another four episodes of season two of Euphoria left, and with things looking bleaker than ever for the universe’s characters, who knows how much further she can sink. Sam Levinson has created a world with only two certainties: one, that we will complain every week without fail about his characterisation and then tune in to watch anyway. And two, that Nate Jacobs fu**ing su*ks.

Watch: Katherine Heigl flashes knickers as she strips off in middle of busy New York street

Published

The 36-year-old comedy starlet can clearly laugh at herself, and her facial expressions were a picture when she got caught stripping off in the Big Apple yesterday.

Katherine was spotted shamelessly undressing and redressing herself, transforming from her neon pink and black cycling outfit to a more work-ready white pencil skirt and turtleneck top.

But the American beauty gave onlookers an eyeful when she unwittingly flashed her knickers during her rapid wardrobe swap.

While most would be left red-faced, Katherine had an excuse for her peculiar behaviour because she was filming scenes for her new CBS show called Doubt.

The mother-of-two was joined by her co-star Dulé Hill, 40, who played the perfect gentleman by clutching on to her handbag while she was otherwise occupied.

The crew are currently filming a reboot of the pilot episode, with Katherine being cast as successful defence lawyer Sadie Ellis alongside Orange Is The New Black star Laverne Cox who will play a trans Ivy League-educated attorney.

Meanwhile, Katherine’s husband Josh Kelley recently spoke out to defend her after she was branded “difficult” for blasting her own 2007 film Knocked Up.

I mean, it’s very interesting because somehow a bunch of haters just created a whole thing that she’s ‘difficult’,” he said. “That girl’s never been late, never missed a mark, she’s the least ‘difficult’ person in the world.

“I’ve been to every movie set since we were together, and everybody loves her. “So it’s really interesting how people can make s**t up and then it can get a heartbeat.”
