THEN AND NOW: CELEBRITIES WHO LOST THEIR YOUTH AND HAVEN’T IMPROVED WITH AGE

Home


For most of us, life has never been kind. We may recall these celebs when they first appeared on TV, but they also experience hardships in life. No matter how much we avoid aging, we will all have to face it. As a result, we may not look as pretty as we were in our prime years. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. Many of these stars still have a successful career in showbiz even though their looks have changed. It’s proof that aging will not affect your talent. From Val Kilmer to Johnny Depp, here are some aging stars who are almost unrecognizable!


1 Val Kilmer Then

1 Val Kilmer Then

Val Kilmer began his career on stage before moving into acting. In 1983, he made his television debut in an ABC Afterschool Special, alongside a teenage Michelle Pfeiffer. By the end of the decade, he’d starred alongside Tom Cruise in Top Gun, and by the mid-1990s, Val Kilmer was deemed serious hot cash. In Oliver Stone’s blockbuster film about The Doors, he notably beat out INXS’ Michael Hutchence for the role of Jim Morrison. His performance in Heat with De Niro and Pacino is widely regarded as his best.

Although others have said that Val’s waistline has shrunk over the years, we think he still looks great for his era. Regrettably, he has vanished from the large and tiny screens. He shocked viewers with a sudden weight loss, stating on Twitter to be down to 165 pounds after years of gaining weight. Val’s career has come to an end. In reality, he’s been performing Citizen Twain, a one-person show written by him and starring only him. In 2012, he earned a Grammy Award for his spoken word work. Rumors of a Top Gun sequel may also serve as motivation to get back in shape. Val, you’re looking great!

3 Sally Struthers Then


5 Mickey Rourke Then


When Sally Struthers portrayed Gloria Stivic, the daughter of Edith and Archie Bunker in Norman Lear’s pioneering sitcom All in the Family, she won over American hearts. She was not expecting to get the part since it has initially been offered to Candice Azarra, who portrayed Gloria in the pilot episode. Candice was quickly scrapped to make room for Sally. Gloria Struthers was noted for her blonde pigtails and stubborn demeanor while coping with her overbearing father. Sally’s life was smooth sailing from then on, when she rose to become one of America’s most famous television personalities.

3 Sally Struthers Then

It’s unrealistic to anticipate the years to be generous to everyone, but Sally hasn’t let her age deter her from functioning. She’s been a longtime supporter of the Christian Children’s Fund (now ChildFund), which helps hungry and impoverished children in developing countries. She also starred as Dolly in the 50th-anniversary production of Hello, Dolly! in 2014. In episodes about a hungry boy called “Starvin’ Marvin,” Struthers was satirized twice on South Park. The humor centers on Struthers’ overconsumption compared to her efforts to support those who are hungry, implying that she is hoarding food. She was reportedly upset by the characterization, something we can understand. Ignore the naysayers and keep doing your best self, Sally.

In 1982, Mickey Rourke made his comedy debut in the film Diner. Though it didn’t entirely break new ground, his acting ability and ability to discuss the controversial subject matter in his positions propelled him to stardom in 1986’s 912Weeks and 1987’s Angel Core. Though mild by today’s standards, these films cemented his status as a sex icon alongside co-stars Kim Basinger and Lisa Bonet. On the other hand, Rourke realized that he’d had enough of acting and turned to box in 1991. When he was younger, he had practiced as a fighter. His boxing career was short-lived, lasting just three years.

When Rourke returned to acting after a career in boxing in the 1990s, he landed a few small parts. His fantastic skill encouraged him to work tirelessly, frequently playing misfits and misguided tough guys, despite his face being badly bruised from his time on the fight scene. Rourke didn’t have another significant supporting appearance until 2005’s Sin City. His success in The Wrestler won him a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and an Oscar nomination in 2009. He’s had a lot of cosmetic surgeries over the years and, as a result, is a handsome older guy.

7 Kathleen Turner Then

7 Kathleen Turner Then


It was challenging to go to the cinema in the 1980s without seeing Kathleen Turner. She starred in films such as Body Heat, Romancing the Stone, Prizzi’s Honor, The War of the Roses, and Peggy Sue Got Married, all of which were hugely popular. Her smoldering good looks and seductive voice rendered her an ideal option for the part of femme fatale in Hollywood. During the decade, she earned the Golden Globe for Best Actress and was nominated for an Academy Award.

Kathleen Turner has little influence over her transition from a sex siren to a regular citizen. She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in the 1990s, which caused her excruciating discomfort, and tried to confine herself to a wheelchair. Some critics were critical of the drug recommended for her recovery because it induced general weight gain and bloating. Turner, like so many other female actors, was pushed out of the spotlight, and her acting offers shifted from “star” to “mother” or even “grandmother.” Her arthritis has thankfully gone into remission in recent years, and she has starred in a variety of guest parts over the years, including Friends, Nip/Tuck, and Californication. We’re relieved that she’s looking and doing healthier.

9 Rupert Everett Then


9 Rupert Everett Then


In 1984, Rupert Everett received a BAFTA for his debut performance as Julian Mitchell in Another Nation. In a 1930s English school, he portrayed an openly gay student. He was known for portraying bad boys, and his smoldering good looks helped him land roles in films in the 1980s and 1990s. With his song, Generation of Loneliness, Everett attempted (unsuccessfully) to transform his celebrity into a music career as a pop star. But it was too late; the audience still saw him as a fantastic performer, and fans ignored his artistic projects. In 1997, for My Best Friend’s Wedding, he received his second BAFTA and his first Golden Globe.

There’s nothing wrong with Rupert’s current appearance because he no longer resembles the fresh-faced kid who once graced the silver screen. He is, though, still behaving as frequently as he once did. He appeared in Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children this year and previously in the Shrek films and the Chronicles of Narnia. He’s also taken up fiction, having written two memoirs and a novel. He’s been vocal about various political and social topics, including decriminalizing prostitution and same-sex marriage. Clearly, there has always been more to this new Renaissance guy than what appears on the table.

11 Lara Flynn Boyle Then


11 Lara Flynn Boyle Then


In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Twin Peaks was both a horror favorite and a big television success. David Lynch’s strange outlook on small-town living in the aftermath of the mysterious assassination of Laura Palmer caught the public’s imagination all around the country. Suppose there was a face to Twin Peaks, Lara Flynn Boyle, who played Donna Howard, Laura’s near friend who became fascinated with solving the crime, in both seasons of the show’s brief run. However, she did not reprise her part in the film sequel, and she has already declined a role in a new TV series set to premiere in 2017.

Like every other human who has aged through the years, Lara Flynn Boyle is no longer the sex siren of her childhood. Instead, she’s a well-dressed, distinguished-looking middle-aged lady who has put in some effort. It’s easy to see how a young beauty would feel pressured to keep their looks with surgical procedures as they get older. Lara made the best choice for herself, and she is in excellent shape for her generation.

13 Igor and Grichka Bogdanov Then


Igor and Grichka Bogdanov, French identical twin celebrities, began their careers as science television presenters in the 1970s, but their identities and social lives frequently overshadowed their jobs. The Bogdanov affair, in particular, called into doubt the validity of the theoretical physics articles they wrote and encouraged. The brothers remained in the public eye and were dubbed “heartthrobs” over time. Beginning in the late 1990s, viewers observed as their unique features changed drastically.

Igor and Grichka Bogdanov’s fascination with cosmetic surgery began in the late 1990s and has lasted too long. The identical twins chose to have their operations simultaneously, which enabled them to keep their twin look as their faces changed. The Bogdanov twins are now 70 years old and appear like this. The twins are said to have undergone numerous chin and cheek implants, according to reports. Botox and fillers are also accessible.

15 Axl Rose Then

15 Axl Rose Then


Guns’n’Roses, fronted by the lithe and limber, controversial-but-not-just-for-wearing-bike-shorts-on-stage Axl Rose, became undisputed kings of complex rock music in 1987. “Appetite for Destruction” has shipped over 30 million copies worldwide, with the follow-up “Use Your Illusion” selling another 35 million. Rose was famous back then for sparking riots and tossing liquor bottles at fans during live shows, in addition to possessing an impressive vocal ability. However, the project quickly disintegrated due to personal disagreements. For a long time, the band went on hiatus before eventually launching the album “Chinese Democracy,” which did not sell as well as their label had hoped.

It’s quick to get into the habit of comfort food if you don’t work too hard. That seems to be what happened to Axl Rose, who has transitioned from his tight-bodied youth to a more mature body form. He extols the virtues of Taco Bell on Twitter, but isn’t rock and roll just about excess? Doritos Cheesy in excess Backstage, Gordita Crunches could have eliminated much of his booze from his glory days. He is, though, on his way out. He took over as frontman for AC/DC on tour in 2016, and Guns’n’Roses recently reunited and planned a world tour. Axl, you’ve got it!

17 Jackie Stallone Then

17 Jackie Stallone Then

Jackie Stallone is best known for being the mother of actor Sylvester Stallone and singer Frank Stallone. On the other hand, her presence sparked much more media attention than is typical for a celebrity mom, and she has made several appearances on the TV interview circuit. In 2005, she also featured on Celebrity Big Brother in the United Kingdom. However, it’s understandable that anyone in the public spotlight might be concerned with their image. Stallone has had more than her fair share of cosmetic surgeries.

We can’t fault Jackie for wanting to relive her childhood, but some people believe she went too fast with the surgeries. We tell, to each his own, though she has recently said that one of her operations was “botched.” Her lips may have seemed a little puffy at first, but these would fade with time and revert to a more normal condition. Jackie passed away peacefully in her sleep in 2020, at the age of 98.

19 Mark Hamill Then

19 Mark Hamill Then

In the first Star Wars series, Mark Hamill, who portrayed Luke Skywalker, was a cultural figure who influenced generations of filmmakers. Mark’s Star Wars popularity didn’t always bode well for his future. “I don’t want Luke Skywalker in my video,” one producer said emphatically. Mark’s performance was too legendary for him to be quickly placed in other films, and he spent the rest of his career performing voiceover work. Many of the cartoon adaptations of the story from the last few decades included him as Batman’s wicked nemesis, the Joker.

When the only job is off-screen, who cares what you look like? Mark Hamill let it slip for a while because, after all, who cares if no one sees you? And the traffic accident he had during the first Star Wars film certainly didn’t help matters. There are genuine scars from the crash, as seen in The Empire Strikes Back. Mark Hamill was ordered to hit the gym and regain some of his previous good-looking glory as Star Wars resurfaced for a sequel trilogy, and he was approached to reprise the part of Luke Skywalker. It succeeded, and he always sees it as the sex appeal he once was.
