Beautiful Celebrities Who Have Aged Terribly
The lives of celebrities are pretty interesting per se. a lot goes on in their lives behind closed doors. It isn’t easy to be a star. Behind the camera lens, many of our favorite celebrities face many challenges, which adversely impact their mental and physical health. They dealt with various stressors, such as the race to stay at the top, worrying about the box office fate of their movies, and most importantly, looking fit and fine. Many times, celebrities succumb to the pressure and start looking older than their actual age. To deal with this situation, they turn to artificial methods of staying young, which causes further damage to their overall appearance. Another thing that affects the appearance of famous personalities is their indulgence in self-abusive, addictive behaviors.
Whether it is to celebrate their successes or overcome the fear of failure or deal with other life challenges, they indulge in substance abuse. Alcohol and drugs badly affect their youthfulness. You will quickly notice a difference in your favorite celebs’ looks. Maybe it gets a little challenging to determine the real-life appearance of celebrities because of the countless filters they can use to make them appear younger and beautiful. But sometimes, their true personality gets captured by the camera, and that’s when we know how well or horribly our favorite celebs are aging. Let’s check these celebrities who look completely unrecognizable today.
Britney Spears
The pop princess was one of the most admired stars of our time. Her personality and looks made her the darling of music fans all over the world. She was the heartthrob of people worldwide in the early 2000s. The sensational singer has been singing from a very young age. In fact, she signed her professional life’s first contract at the age of 15. Very quickly, she achieved fame and stardom.
Many claim that this could be the reason behind her downfall both on a personal and professional level. People say that she got famous at an early age and couldn’t handle it. It seems as if reaching stardom at a young age is more a bane than a blessing. At least that’s what Britney’s current looks prove.
Britney Spears: Now
Although the starlet is in her 30s only, she has seen a lot in her personal life and lost the charm and attraction in her voice, which used to be her strength back in the 1990s. Several failed relationships and becoming a mother at an early age affected her emotionally, mentally, and physically, which is why Spears hasn’t aged gracefully.
The eye candy of everyone Noughties gal and guy, the Baby One More Time and Oops! I Did It Again singer suffered a breakdown in 2007 and shaved her head completely. She even beat a paparazzi’s car with an umbrella. The 33-year-old singer desperately tried to make a lasting comeback professionally, but her personal issues had taken a lot of toll on her appearance. Her battle with own father and sister over her conservatorship has stressed Britney beyond measures and it sadly shows on her face.
Alec Baldwin: Then
Alec Baldwin, the oldest of the Baldwin brothers had killer looks, talent and the making of a movie star. He married his first wife, the stunning Kim Basinger, who in her own right was an A-lister movie star, perhaps the most beautiful woman in Hollywood in the 1980s and 1990s. They married in 1993 until 2003 when Kim filed for divorce. They had one daughter together named Ireland. When Ireland was 11 years old in 2007, Alec, in a fit of rage called his daughter a pig and later claimed that the stress of divorce and battling custody with Kim was just too much. Allegedly, Alec was also beating his then wife Kim during their marriage. To say he had anger management issue is an understatement.
Alec Baldwin on the phone with Ireland“You have insulted me for the last time … You don’t have the brains or the decency as a human being. I don’t give a damn that you’re 12 years old or 11 years old or that you’re a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn’t care about what you do, as far as I’m concerned … You’ve made me feel like shit … I’m gonna straighten your ass out when I see you. I’m going to really make sure you get it … I’ll let you know how I really feel about what a thoughtless little pig you are. You are a rude, little pig, okay?”
Alec Baldwin: Now
Alec is now married since 2012 to his 2nd wife, a New York City former yoga instructor by the name of Hilaria who is 26 years his junior. Hilaria was born in Boston, Massachusetts but likes to pretend that she’s a foreigner, often faking a bad Spanish accent to make people believe that she’s an immigrant. Alec and Hilaria together have seven kids and possibly more to come. Alec still has anger issues as it wasn’t too long ago that he attacked another paparazzi on the streets of New York City… an event that seems to be happening on an annual basis.
Sadly Alec hasn’t had a major box office movie in at least a decade. His claim to fame these days is impersonating the 45th United States President Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live (SNL)… sad and pity for a talented actor to stoop this low in his career. Typically, newcomers start their career at SNL and later become superstars… Alec, once an A-lister on the other hand is ending his career at SNL… until that is he shot and killed his cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins on the set of ‘Rust.’
Valerie Bertinelli
Valerie Bertinelli, once celebrated as one of the most beautiful actresses of her generation, experienced a noticeable transformation as she aged. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Bertinelli captured the hearts of audiences with her role as Barbara Cooper on the hit television series “One Day at a Time.” Her girl-next-door charm, radiant smile, and wholesome beauty made her a beloved figure in American television, earning her a place among the most attractive actresses of the era.
However, as Bertinelli moved through the decades, her appearance began to change, influenced by a variety of factors including personal struggles, health issues, and the natural aging process. Her weight fluctuated significantly over the years, a challenge she candidly discussed in public. Bertinelli’s battle with weight gain was often exacerbated by emotional eating and stress, particularly during difficult periods in her life, such as her highly publicized divorce from rock star Eddie Van Halen and her struggles with self-esteem.
Valerie Bertinelli: Now
The pressures of maintaining a youthful appearance in Hollywood, an industry notorious for its ageism and obsession with physical perfection, also took their toll. While Bertinelli continued to work steadily in television, including a successful stint on the series “Hot in Cleveland,” the contrast between her youthful image and her older self became a topic of public discussion. Her face, once the epitome of fresh-faced beauty, showed the inevitable signs of aging, such as wrinkles and weight gain.
Despite these changes, Bertinelli embraced her journey with a sense of resilience and authenticity. She became an advocate for body positivity and self-acceptance, encouraging others to find beauty and confidence at any age. Her willingness to share her struggles and triumphs resonated with many fans who appreciated her honesty and strength. Bertinelli’s story highlights the challenges of aging in the public eye but also underscores the importance of self-love and acceptance in overcoming societal pressures and personal insecurities.
Axl Rose
Axl Rose, the iconic frontman of Guns N’ Roses, epitomized rock ‘n’ roll charisma in his youth. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Rose was celebrated not only for his electrifying stage presence and distinctive voice but also for his striking looks. His lithe frame, piercing blue eyes, and signature red bandana made him a sex symbol of the era. Fans adored his bad-boy persona, and he embodied the wild, rebellious spirit of rock music.
However, as the years passed, Rose’s appearance and lifestyle began to reflect the toll of his rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. The 1990s saw Rose increasingly reclusive, and Guns N’ Roses entered a period of inactivity, with band members leaving amid internal conflicts. Rose’s battles with substance abuse, erratic behavior, and legal issues further distanced him from the public eye. His physical transformation during this period was striking. Gone was the lean, sinewy frame of his youth, replaced by a more corpulent physique. His once-tousled hair became the subject of speculation, with rumors of hair transplants and wigs abounding.
Axl Rose: Now
By the 2000s, when Rose re-emerged with a new lineup of Guns N’ Roses, the change was evident. His face appeared bloated, possibly due to weight gain and aging, and his features seemed altered, leading to speculation about plastic surgery. Public and media reactions were often harsh, with comparisons to his former self highlighting the dramatic shift.
Despite the criticism of his physical appearance, Rose’s influence and legacy in rock music remain undiminished. He continues to perform, bringing energy and passion to his shows. His journey from the epitome of youthful allure to an older, less conventionally attractive figure underscores the harsh realities of aging, particularly in an industry that often prioritizes perpetual youth and beauty. Rose’s story is a testament to the pressures faced by rock stars and the inevitable passage of time.
Lindsay Lohan
No one can forget the lovely, freckled twins in Disney’s movie The Parent Trap. Lindsay Lohan’s sheer exuberance and innocence made her character(s) and the movie memorable. Lindsay is also one of those celebrities who ventured into the world of show business at an early age. She was only ten when she appeared in the soap opera As The World Turns and also tried her luck in modeling.
Needless to say, Lohan was quite lucky as she quickly became one of the audiences’ favorite child stars. The freckled-face actress later appeared in hit romcoms as a teenager, including Mean Girls and Freaky Friday. However, despite showing so much promise, the actress couldn’t handle success and started appearing on headlines for her run-ins with the law instead of her movies. Lindsay is now a married woman living in Dubai and who recently became a mother.
Lindsay Lohan: Now
Throughout the 2000s, Lindsay’s life remained an object of public spectacle. She had it all, from very nasty fights with her parents to rehab stints, parole violations, DUI charges, and her fast-paced but notorious lifestyle. All these factors collectively impacted her health and appearance drastically. The star is in her late 20s, but because of her drug and alcohol addictions and all the DUIs, she looks pretty older, and her skin seems wrinkled already.
In an interview, the superstar of the 1990s said that she liked to party hard, like anyone her age would want to, which she considered a way to release stress. But when she became addicted to life-threatening substances, she realized that her life was going nowhere. Now she is sober, but her wayward lifestyle has caused damage beyond repair.
Madonna
The undisputed queen of pop had a remarkable style, which distinguished her from her contemporaries and continues to do that even today. She was the queen of hearts as well. Perhaps no other singer has given as much variety in music as Madonna has. Her versatility is second to none. Her pop music choices set many lasting trends, some of which are still followed. Madonna has reigned the music industry since the early 1980s and has come a long way.
She started from a New York nightclub and went on to become the highest-earning performer worldwide. Madonna says that she never ceased to challenge herself, which is the main reason behind her versatility. She didn’t receive formal education and came from a lower-middle-class background but never lost faith in her capabilities. That’s why she has remained in the spotlight for over four decades.
Madonna: Now
Madonna’s net worth is anywhere between $500 and $800 million. The superstar singer has got properties on both sides of the Atlantic and can enjoy every possible luxury she wants to. But staying forever young isn’t a luxury one can buy despite many age-defying solutions available. Madonna, sadly, fell prey to the never-ending quest for youth and turned to a series of fillers, facelifts, and implants, which badly affected her appearance.
The cheek implants made her face look puffy and permanently swollen rather than making her appear youthful. We believe she hasn’t aged gracefully. She is in her 60s and has a relatively fit body, but the same cannot be said about her face.
Val Kilmer
The steamy actor debuted with Top Gun and made a massive impact on the audiences. Then he appeared in hit movies like Top Gun, Batman Forever, and The Doors and became the nation’s heartthrob. But later on, in his career, Kilmer started facing personal and professional life challenges, and lately, we haven’t seen him appearing in a hit movie as well. His mental and physical health got deteriorated, and today he’s hardly recognizable.
Reportedly, Top Gun’s Iceman was regarded as the coolest fighter pilot ever to grace the silver screen. His blonde hair and blue eyes made the Los Angeles native a symbol of the quintessential Hollywood hero. But his reputation as a difficult start to work with impacted his career considerably.
Val Kilmer: Now
We still cannot forget Val’s role as the young Jim Morrison in the 1991 epic The Doors and Doc Holiday in the 1993 classic Tombstone. However, unfortunately, cancer took a toll on his career and his appearance. Thirty years later, Kilmer is barely recognizable. Although still there, his signature smile is still there, but his partying and battle with throat cancer brought him to a point where he looks much older than his age.
Val Kilmer was admitted to the hospital for two years due to throat cancer because he had to remain under observation. Then in 2015, he had a tracheotomy, which reduced his voice to a rasp.
Katie Holmes
Do you remember the time when as a teenager in the late 90s or early 2000s, you would tune into Dawson’s Creek only to watch what happened in Joey Potter’s life? Well, that charming, intelligent, slightly tomboyish character was played by Katie Holmes. Eventually, Holmes blossomed into a free-spirited, valedictorian, and responsible young lady. And how can we forget how beautiful she was with flawless, spot-free skin and that magnetic glow.
She once said in an interview that when Top Gun was released, her sisters were smitten by Tom Cruise, and she confidently predicted that she would marry him sooner or later. That prediction did come true, and the two got married and had a daughter, Suri.
Katie Holmes: Now
Although Katie received immense public adulation and fame, she is also one of those celebs who became the victim of early fame. Or maybe life with Tom Cruise was so stressful that it took a toll on her beautiful self. After all, it isn’t easy to live under the Scientology umbrella and get accustomed to the crazy cult-like physical, mental and emotional abuse and non-medical belief system that it is.
Sadly the couple divorced, and perhaps the PTSD of Scientology that impacted Katie’s life while living under Tom’s roof has left permanent damage to her psyche and appearances. This struggle shows on her face.
Pamela Anderson
In the 1990s, Pamela Anderson was the hottest and sexiest actress in Hollywood. The above photo was taken wan Pamela Anderson was in her early twenties, 21 years old to be exact, before the plastic surgeries, the tattoos, the crazy rock star boyfriends and husbands, old right before she was about to launch into super stardom and single handedly was responsible for giving us the quintessential sex symbol we so longed for back then.
There’s little doubt that Pamela’s posters and pictures graced the walls of almost every teenager across America and even beyond. No one could have made a simple red swimsuit an icon of sorts other than Pamela. She stole the hearts of millions after her gig in Baywatch.
Pamela Anderson: Now
When she walked on the beach, people waited with bated breath what will be her next move. Her sand-covered, perfectly tanned body made her a sensation. Anderson has come a long way in the 22-year career that started with Playboy cover and took her to the highest pedestal of stardom. She is the most featured cover model for Playboy magazine than anyone else in the magazine’s history, which is an achievement in itself.
Unfortunately, Pamela’s personal life wasn’t as blissful and smooth. After a series of bad marriages, failed relationships, and wild lifestyles have taken a toll on the diva’s health and appearance. She went for plastic surgery and breast implants, which ruined her beautiful body and face.
Matthew Perry
With his innocent eyes and great looks, Matthew Perry became the most admirable person in the world for most of the women who watched Friends. His character was quirky, caring, and loving, which added to the love and accolades Perry received back when Friends was airing and even today when the seasons are rerun for the umpteenth time. After Friends concluded, Matthew continued to act in movies and TV comedies like Sunset Strip, The Odd Couple, Go On, and Studio 60.
He received central roles in many hit movies and received Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for his inspirational portrayal of Ron Clark in The Ron Clark Story. His role as a man dealing with depersonalization disorder in Numb was also much appreciated.
Matthew Perry: Now
Sadly, Matthew Perry has lost the charm and wit he was known and admired for in the 1990s and 2000s. He had struggled with alcohol and drug addiction throughout his career, even when he was shooting for Friends. Perry was awarded for turning his Malibu home into a sober home for those recovering from addictions.
Blame it on Perry’s careless eating routine or drug usage. The once wisecracking Chandler Bing has turned into a typical dad now and looks at least two decades older than his actual age.
Kate Moss
Kate Moss was just 14 years old when she was discovered at JFK Airport, in New York. Kate Moss at just 5’7 in height which was 2 inches below the minimum height to be a runway model soon dominated the 1990s with her innocent face and extremely thin frame. She was the epitome of what was trending for nearly a decade, the “heroin chic” look. Kate Moss literally set the trend of what defined beauty was to be in the 1990s and graced the top of fashion magazine around the world.
At the height of her modeling career, she was dating none other than Canadian born Hollywood bad boy Johnny Depp. Kate and Johnny dated for three years before Johnny broke it off and in the process broke Kate’s heart… something that she until this day has not really gotten over.
Kate Moss: Now
In 1999 Maxim magazine voted Kate Moss as their top 50 Sexiest Women. Kate Moss as a supermodel was one of the highest paying models in the world. She is listed as the 99th richest woman in England with a net worth of $45million. However, with her love of sunbathing and excessive partying throughout her adult life… the “heroine chic” cover girl did in fact love her drugs. Sadly Kate Moss did not age well now that she is in her late 40s.
Kate is still a powerhouse in the fashion world, with her collaboration Top Shop and many other major brands. She also has her own Modeling agency that she found in 2016.Kate still has her sense of incredible style, pretty much anything she puts on becomes a fashion trend that even today’s young women still follow. Kate has one daughter. Lila Grace from her brief relationship with editor Jefferson Hack.
Jennifer Aniston
In American history, Friends was a television show that changed or rather defined an entire generation in the 1990s. In fact, this show continues to do so even after decades. Especially in China, in the late 2000s, when this show was aired, it played a phenomenal role in making the nation aware of American culture’s exclusivity and inclusiveness.
Jennifer Anniston, who played the role of Rachel Green and her iconic haircut, became a household name. Almost every girl in America had the Rachel cut when the show was airing and even a long time afterward. Apart from the haircut, what made people feel attracted to Rachel was her beauty.
Jennifer Aniston: Now
You can see she hasn’t aged as well as we expected our favorite Rachel Green to age. She is also aware of the fact and has been trying really hard to look like her previous self. Although that’s hardly possible to turn one the rewind button, but there’s no harm in trying, and Aniston is doing every possible thing to do so.
She has adopted a new and improved wellness routine, about which she told Allure.”In the last year, I’ve been doing celery juice first thing in the morning. But you have to wait a half-hour [to eat], so that’s when the meditation happens. I have to force myself not to go right to my coffee. I also take a probiotic, obviously,” said Aniston.
Mickey Rourke
The bad boy boxer ruled the hearts of millions with his contagious smile. He had the makings of a true movie start. He was gorgeous, talented and a that soft spoken voice made his female fans weak in the knees. Females kept fantasizing about him for many years. It is said that Rourke was quite lucky when it came to female fandom. In some odd way, Mickey hated the fact that he was handsome because he believed that people should judge him based on his talent and not his looks.
Mickey RourkeWhat I’ve got to do now is let them judge me for who I am as an actor and not for my notoriety.
Mickey Rourke: Now
Mickey loved boxing and after getting several broken noses and whatnots, he resorted to plastic surgery to “fix his face.” Sadly he fell into having an addiction to plastic surgery and ruined what god gave him. Because of poor diet and too many plastic surgeries, Rourke doesn’t look a bit like what he used to back in his career’s peak time. We wish he had preferred a better diet and hadn’t gone for unnatural ways to stay young because the patched-up nose is too painful to look at.
Mickey RourkeI come from a violent background. So I became hard. I realised that I had made myself that way to deal with a feeling of abandonment and shame.
Maureen McCormick
When she was at the peak of stardom, McCormick was the dream girl of every teen out there. She played the role of Marsha Brady on the Brady Bunch, which aired from 1969 to 1974. Throughout the five seasons of the show, Maureen remained the most beloved character on the show. In fact, it was the most loved TV sitcom of that era. All the girls wanted to look as cool as Marsha.
Mini dresses and straight blonde hair became the ultimate style statement. On The Brady Bunch, Maureen played the oldest of three sisters and undoubtedly the coolest one in the lot. But those were good old days when she had the perfect skin, hair, and body. Today’s situation is quite the opposite.
Maureen McCormick: Now
Now that Maureen McCormick is 60-years-old, she does look a bit older than her age. However, it is great that she didn’t blindly follow the Botox trend and didn’t succumb to the plastic surgery craze, which most Hollywood celebrities already have. But she is one of those celebs that are now unrecognizable, and this photo is proof of that.
She looks tired and worn out but still not as bad as those who went under the knife, what they look like now is infinitely worst.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Titanic brought along uneasy insecurity among males as every other girl they knew was in love with Leonardo di Caprio, the movie’s tragic hero. You would agree that it did seem for a while that Leo might never grow old. The actor was blessed with the best looks and had a certain innocence and boyish charm that just didn’t seem to fade away.
For most of his career, Leo looked youthful and could easily pass as a teenager. In The Aviator, the heartthrob had to be aged up for his bearded, reclusive forty-something character Howard Hughes.
Leonardo DiCaprio: Now
Leonardo made a conscious choice to take up mature roles in movies like Catch Me If You Can and The Wolf of Wall Street. But later on, he developed an interest in environmental issues and became a political activist for global climate change. He also has stopped taking care of himself, which is why the actor’s appearance is unkempt.
He is often sporting the dad bod, has put on weight, and is in bad shape overall. But this hasn’t affected his career a bit, and Leonardo is still seen dating supermodels, which indicates his increasing bankability and appeal.
Catherine Bach
Catherine’s this legendary poster has so far sold 5 million copies. It was so popular that CBS decided to insure Catherine Bach’s legs for $1 million, which was unheard of at that time. The five-feet-eight-inches tall American actress and model was born to a Mexican mother, and that’s where she got her All-American exotic looks from. The Ohio-native graduated from UCLA and became an actress.
She starred in movies with superstars of the time, including Clint Eastwood, Burt Lancaster, and Jeff Bridges. However, her real claim to fame turned out to be the iconic role of Daisy Dukes in The Dukes of Hazzard. This show actually launched her and made her a superstar. Catherine’s Daisy Duke look, comprising really short cut-off denim shorts, is still very much in vogue.
Catherine Bach: Now
Bach married Angela Landsbury’s son David Shaw in 1976. After five years, the two got divorced. But because of David, she got cast in the role of “Daisy Duke” and created history on television. She married again to Peter Lopez. He was a music attorney and had worked for Michael Jackson for over seven years. Tragically, Lopez died in 2010, which stressed Catherine out and added significant weight on the starlet.
Steven Tyler
Aerosmith’s lifeline Steven Tyler made people fall head over heels in love. He composed excellent ballads and hard rock. It was, however, his overall rugged look that made him the dream guy of almost every girl in the late 80s. Tyler was the lead singer for the rock band Aerosmith and gave us memorable hits like Walk This Way, Love in an Elevator; I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing, and Dream On.
Later in his career, Steven also served as an American Idol judge for two seasons. Before becoming the bombastic leader of the wildly popular rock band, Steven was into drumming.
Steven Tyler: Now
Undoubtedly, Steven was one of the most iconic rockstars of all time. However, it is unfortunate that he couldn’t pass the test of time as well as he did professionally. The singer, known for his pouty lips, perfect looks, and eccentric dressing, now looks gaunt and unrecognizable. His present appearance is the opposite of what he used to look like as the famous rock band’s front-man. Even today, he isn’t any less than a star, but the drug addiction and wayward lifestyle added many years to his face.
Ellen DeGeneres
Television industry’s leading funny female host Ellen DeGeneres offers a rare mix of skills and traits that are hard to find these days. Surprisingly, Ellen remains graceful while being funny and never offends any of her guests. That’s a quality we seldom see in talk show hosts.
We have seen Ellen grown from a stand up comic doing comedy shows at The Improv to literally superstardom as one of the first out of the closet homosexual celebrities.
Ellen DeGeneres: Now
Like all celebrities who live in the spotlight, Ellen’s career has gone pretty far for a once stand-up comic aging the way she’s aged. Though Ellen like everybody else who is fighting with gravity she did not turn to plastic surgeries to keep herself looking young… or maybe she should have?
As you can see, she has aged as horribly as others on this list au natural. Ellen got herself canceled and lost her daytime show “Ellen” after reports of mistreating her staff. The Queen of Kind turned out not to be so kind after all.
John Travolta
The undisputed god of dancing’s vocal composure and signature moves contributed significantly to Travolta’s unimaginable rise to stardom. He became the ultimate showstopper and national heartthrob sooner than anyone had expected. Apart from his incredible dancing and acting skills, what helped him become the ultimate heartthrob was his handsome appearance. John Travolta was one of the most charming stars of his era. He earned fame back in the 1970s after making an appearance in the hit TV sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter.
Then he worked in a series of box office hits, including Grease, Carrier, Urban Cowboy, and Saturday Night Fever. For a brief period, his acting career reached a standstill in the 1980s. Still, he bounced back even stronger with hits like Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty, Face/Off, Broken Arrow, Phenomenon, A Civil Action, Bolt, Hairspray, and Primary Colors.
John Travolta: Now
Due to the lack of a good and healthy lifestyle as a star, John Travolta paid a massive price as he couldn’t age gracefully. The problem with celebrities is that they have to ride by the tide and indulge in many health-harming activities like late-night parties, alcoholism, and substance abuse. The same was the case with John Travolta.
He underwent several hair plugs, and after four decades, the megastar who once earned $20 million per movie is now barely seen on the screen and is unrecognizable. These days we see Travolta sporting his true line… bald. Honestly we prefer him this way more than the pasty face and rug on his head that’s a few shades too dark.
Tara Reid
We cannot still get over Vicky’s character in the blockbuster teen movie American Pie. One of the many highlights of the movie, apart from that infamous pie scene, was Tara Reid. The blonde, beautiful, fresh-faced, cut-but sensual Tara made boys fall head over heels in love with her. Self-confident America’s Sweetheart perfectly fitted the frame of the archetypal girl next door and continued to be so before Gillian Flynn replaced her and claimed the throne.
However, the teen movie queen’s career couldn’t go anywhere as she starred in a series of flops, such as Van Wilder: Party Liaison, Josie and the Pussycats, and American Pie 2. Her entire career is full of mishaps, from bizarre movie choices to wardrobe malfunctions and botched plastic surgeries.
Tara Reid: Now
Tara’s career came to a standstill soon after the success of the raunchy comedy American Pie. she received immense hatred for appearing in an unsettling movie titled Body Shots and got involved in a wild lifestyle. She failed to maintain her looks because of undergoing excessive plastic surgeries because she feared aging out in Hollywood.
Today, she looks horrible. Apart from the surgeries, her addiction to alcohol and absurd lifestyle has contributed immensely to making her look much older than her actual age.
Edward Furlong
The Terminator 2: Judgment Day star went on to become an icon in himself. He earned success and fame from this movie, but then his career came to a halt. Edward Furlong’s performance as John Connor was surprisingly soulful and attention-grabbing. Critics praised his performance a lot as the leader of the human resistance against the robotic Terminators.
However, his personal life was full of struggles and mishaps. He couldn’t have a normal household. Furlong never met his father, and his mom later lost control of him, so his uncle and aunt raised him.
Edward Furlong: Now
His life remained in a downward spiral right from the start. In this photo, he looks unrecognizable. But we aren’t surprised, considering whatever he has been through is enough to make someone look older than their age. Furlong later got engaged to his manager, but the two split, and in 1999, she sued him for money owed and physical abuse.
Furlong turned to hard drugs like heroin and cocaine to keep himself calm and stress-free during this hard time. He also became an alcoholic. That’s why he wasn’t asked to reprise his role as John Connor in the 2002 sequel of Terminator 2, and instead, Nick Stahl played it.
Barbra Streisand
The diva was loved for her roles in movies and her soulful songs around four decades ago. Even today, her fan following is matchless. Streisand’s signature smile, fantastic acting skills, and overall persona made her a cultural icon. She donned many hats throughout her career. From an actor, singer, producer, and director, to writer, feminist, and political activity, Barbara Streisand has done it all, with equal finesse.
She is also a prominent philanthropist and raises her voice for medical, political, ecological, and educational causes. Currently, she is pretty active on social media, particularly Twitter, and posts articles on her website about a range of topics.
Barbra Streisand: Now
Even at 76, Barbara Streisand lives life to the fullest. However, her face doesn’t look anything like it did even ten years back after multiple plastic surgeries. She left no stone unturned to thwart the aging process. But she has been careless in this regard and did everything possible, which did the opposite of what she had expected and made her look older and weirder.
We must say that even though she is in her late 70s, Barbara’s social reach is massive, and she keeps in touch with her fans regularly. Not to mention that she is one of the most charitable celebrities we have in America.
Janice Dickinson
Janice Dickinson is the first supermodel we ever had… In fact, the word supermodel was coined by her. She was the most beautiful and well-known model during the 1970s and a self-proclaimed supermodel. To be a Burnette in the land of blondes, Janice Dickinson stood out with that innocent, yet very sultry look.
In 1979, during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she was asked by the interviewer, “Janice, who do you think you are, Superman?” to which Dickinson replied, “No, I am a supermodel, honey, and you will refer to me as a supermodel and you will start a supermodel division.” Janice exuded confidence and sensuousness, which none other could match at that time.
Janice Dickinson: Now
The world’s first supermodel couldn’t maintain her gorgeous looks and beauty. Much of this can be attributed to the erratic model’s cancer treatment and partly to her lifestyle. The outspoken Janice tried to make a comeback into the industry when she served as America’s Next Top Model judge in 2012-2013. Still, in 2013, her financial situation got worse, and she filed for bankruptcy. She also underwent radiation therapy for six weeks and declared herself cancer-free on This Morning. She explained her experience as fearful initially, but she quickly got adjusted to the entire situation.
“In the beginning, I was in a state of numbness… I was afraid how my two grown children would take the news, and they were very upset. And then I went through a period where I thought I wasn’t going to be attractive to my fiance. I thought some bit of my feminine mystique would have gone out the window, but Rocky said to me, ‘this cancer does not define you, Janice’… and it wasn’t sinking in truly until I woke up and said, ‘I’ve found Janice again’ and I’m back!” Janice said on the show.
Haley Joel Osment
For Haley Joel Osment, walk in the supermarket proved to be a life-changer. He portrayed the strangest roles ever seen on the silver screen and got hold of a major chunk of female audiences. But his actual claim to fame was M. Night Shyamalan’s 1999 pathbreaking blockbuster, The Sixth Sense. In the movie, the then-11-year-old played the titular role of Cole Sear, a troubled young child who could see the dead and communicate with them. No one can forget that iconic line, “I See Dead People.” Cole possessed extraordinary powers, and Dr. Malcolm Crowe tries to help him understand his powers.
Several years later, Haley’s career went downhill as he became the object of public jokes and parodies. He was the star of the Disney video game series Kingdom Hearts, in which he lent his voice to the character of Sora. He also appeared in several comedy projects, such as The Spoils of Babylon and Silicon Valley. More recently, he starred in Ted Bundy’s biopic, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile.
Haley Joel Osment: Now
Haley Joel got fame early but decided to move away from the entertainment industry and complete his education. Like every other young superstar, Haley also got into drinking and a delinquent lifestyle and paid the price as he is unrecognizable now. In 2006, he overturned his car and was fined for driving while drunk.
The now 32-year-old was sent to rehabilitation and put on probation for three years. Today, he sports a fuller waistline, scraped back hair, and a full on beard. Perhaps it is to hide most of his chubby face. All in all, Haley Joel is a good sport when it comes to his adulthood.
Carrie Fisher
Late Carrie Fisher was an American actress. The California-native was born in 1956 to singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds. She ventured into the world of entertainment in 1969, but her first cinematic appearance was for the movie Shampoo, released in 1975. But her most iconic role was of Princess Leia from the movie Star Wars and its trilogy.
Fisher unexpectedly passed away while filming for the latest installment of the movie. The actress had adorable looks, and along with Max Hamill, she ruled the TV for years.
Carrie Fisher: in 2016
Carrie Fisher was simply gorgeous when she was a young actress. Her stunning looks could be genetic because her mother, Debbie Reynolds, was equally beautiful. But later in life, Carrie’s looks deteriorated surprisingly quickly. Rumor has it that she got plastic surgery done on her face, but she didn’t admit it until her death in 2p16. Nevertheless, her aging wasn’t beautiful as we had expected it to be. The actress once said that she underwent a crazy diet routine and lost a lot of weight to prepare for reprising her role as Princess Leia. While giving an interview to UK’s Good Housekeeping magazine, Carrie said looking young and beautiful was a professional requirement.
Carrie Fisher“Nothing changes, it’s an appearance-driven thing. I’m in a business where the only thing that matters is weight and appearance. That is so messed up. They might as well say get younger, because that’s how easy it is.”
Macaulay Culkin
Home Alone’s wise ass little kid who loved to tease the burglars and wasn’t even a little bit scared of being alone in a huge house was loved by all. His cuteness made many of us return to our childhood when the movie Home Alone was released. But today, he has become a textbook example of the drawbacks of getting famous at a young age.
Macaulay Culkin: Now
The cuteness of this child actor didn’t fare to well as he grew into an adult. Years of heroine and prescription drug addiction has aged Macaulay Culkin into several decades older than his actual age. At the age of fifteen, Macaulay divorced his parents in order to protect his fortune, drove him into a spiral downward into the rabbit hole of a serious drug addiction.
Macaulay is now a father to a little girl born April of 2021 with Disney actress Brenda Song. We hope that fatherhood will clean Macaulay’s bad habits up so that he can see his children grow up.
Al Pacino
Looks-wise, Al Pacino was never your signature Hollywood hunk. But let’s give credit to his talent and unusual Italian features. He became the perfect Godfather for us. We cannot deny that Al Pacino has a charismatic personality, which helped him climb the success ladder. In the 1983 movie Scarface, Al Pacino outdid himself and became a household name. It was the story of a Cuban immigrant Tony Montana.
Set in the early 1980s Miami, Scarface showed Tony’s journey from a nobody to an unruly drug mafia kingpin. For this role, Al Pacino had to excessively use cocaine, violence, and profanity, which shocked the nation and made his presence felt in the industry.
Al Pacino: Now
After starring in The Godfather Trilogy, Al Pacino became the face of the 1980s gangster movie genre. The Italian actor received an Oscar nomination for Godfather II. Still, his big moment came in 1992 when he actually won the Oscar for his role of a blind lieutenant in Scent of a Woman. Though he is a textbook example of talent overlooks his smoking habit accelerated his body’s aging process and contributed greatly to his deteriorated looks that you see now.
Meg Ryan
Meg Ryan will easily top the list of the most iconic beauties of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Apart from her artistic brilliance, it was her attractive features, slim and trim figure, and glowing eyes that set the screen on fire. You will definitely agree that Meg was one of the most graceful actresses of all time. She provided the audience a perfect balance of looks, pizzaz, and talent. Her unique blonde hair and innocence made her stand out from other actresses of that time.
Meg Ryan: Now
Meg Ryan was undoubtedly the queen of rom-com back in the 80s and 90s. She starred in a series of successful movies, some of which reached the status of classics. But today, she’s hardly seen anywhere and hasn’t starred in a film in years. She likes to stay out of the spotlight, maybe because of the way she looks now. Like many other actresses in Hollywood, Meg also went for plastic surgeries to stop the process of aging. But she couldn’t escape old age. Her current appearance is proof of the aftereffects of going under the knife. What do you think?
Russell Crowe
The New Zealander Russell Crowe was the heartthrob of millions. With just one movie, the chiseled actor stole the hearts of almost every female who had watched the epic historical movie Gladiator in 2000. This is the movie that gave him international fame and attention. Crowe won an Academy Award for the movie and a string of other awards for her exemplary performance, including Empire Award, Broadcast Film Critics Association Award, and London Film Critics Circle Award for Best Leading Actor. Let’s not forget he received ten more nominations for different awards. Although Gladiator became the actor’s identity at the time, he went on to star in several blockbuster movies throughout his career. These include The Insider, in which he played Jeffery Wigand, the John Nash’s biopic A Beautiful Mind.
Russell Crowe: Now
Crowe shot to fame after he appeared in Gladiator as Maximus. However, two decades later, the actor looks unrecognizable. You will not believe that his once chiseled body has become broader, and the 56-year-old now sports a scruffy beard. The grey hair styled in a ponytail and loose-fitting shirts have become his signature style. We do miss those six-pack abs that he once used to flaunt so frequently. It is reported that Russel Crowe’s excessive preference for junk food and wine contributed to accelerating the process of aging for him.
Donatella Versace
The fashionista Donatella Versace currently owns the Versace empire and has worked really hard for its development and prosperity over the years. But on the personal front, Donatella could maintain herself. She is the ultimate fashion designer and runs the best Italian fashion house. But that’s not all that she’s famous for. Despite all these achievements, she is more famous for the many plastic surgeries.
Donatella Versace: Now
Donatella Versace has gone too far when it comes to self-improvement staying young. She has over-relied on plastic surgery and has lost her charm to a great extent. It has become difficult to call her a fashion icon. The 63-year-old entrepreneur probably went under the knife to improve her natural features, or maybe she wanted to stop nature from taking its course. Whatever be the case, there’s a vast difference between her past and present self. Most plastic surgeons and cosmetologists agree that Donatella Versace has gotten a lot of work done on her face. Perhaps, the only feature that remained untouched on her face is her nose.
According to a famous plastic surgeon, Dr. Steve Fallek, Donatella has “pretty much had it all. Botox, fillers, lasers for the skin. Minimal recovery time for those, though there can be some redness of the skin for a few weeks with laser therapy…. she may have also had facelift and eyes and brow lift”.
Vince Vaughn
Vincent Anthony Vaughan, fondly called Vince Vaughn, is a successful actor, screenwriter, producer, and comedian. His comic timing was regarded as one of the best in the industry, and along with Owen Wilson, Vaughn gave us an epic comedy titled the Wedding Crashers. The actor started his career in the late 1980s. He starred in minor roles in TV, but the game-changer for Vince proved to be the 1996 comedy-drama Swingers. The dark-haired actor ruled over female hearts for years, but today, he is hardly cast in any movie.
Vince Vaughn: Now
There’s no doubt that Vince Vaughn’s career is in a rut. Some of it is due to his bad career choices. The actor who once was regarded as the funniest man in Hollywood is now struggling to find suitable roles because his past few movies tanked at the box office. For example, his recent movie Unfinished Business was severely bashed by critics and viewers alike. Another reason behind his absence from mainstream cinema is that he has aged pretty badly. The actor has put on too much weight and hasn’t even tried to maintain his looks, so his face appears wrinkled, and eyebags further add to the overall dismal appearance. That’s why he looks much older than he is.
Joan Van Ark
Joan Van Ark emerged as the perfect eye candy in the timeline between Brigit Bardot and the current actors. Her immense talent and attractive features made her the diva that Hollywood longed for. At the time, Hollywood was craving for someone as hot and sensual as Joan. Hence, she quickly achieved stardom. But when your body and looks have helped you achieve success in the entertainment industry, it becomes a responsibility to keep yourself in shape and stay young. That’s exactly what happened with Joan Van Ark. In the quest of staying youthful and in-demand, Joan tried every trick up her sleeve, including a never-ending series of plastic surgeries. She looks awful today. Have a look.
Joan Van Ark: Now
We don’t know why she decided to go for plastic surgeries or who was guiding her about the procedures, but she has overdone it. People say that she now looks like after-party Charlie Sheen. She can easily top the list of the world’s worst plastic surgery disasters, but perhaps she will get tough competition from Donatella Versace. She looks like a caricature and, to some extent, scary. She never publicly discussed her plastic surgery experience and has kept mum about her recent look. But fans are eager to know what she has done to her once beautiful face and why she did that.
Kirstie Alley
Kirstie Alley shifted her career’s focus from Cheers’ superstardom to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan’s Lieutenant. That was a clever move, as after moving to science fiction, the actress’s fandom increased tremendously.
Kirstie Alley: Now
Irregular diet plans and certain insecurities as an actor has induced negative impacts on her looks and physique. As evident, her looks are damaged, and she is hardly recognizable today.
Christina Aguilera
The sassy pop star had a unique voice, which helped her rule the charts for the longest time. Coupled with mesmerizing looks and a perfectly toned body, Christina was the most successful singer in the early 2000s.
Christina Aguilera: Now
Christina has been brave enough to share her vulnerable side with the world. She openly explained her weight issues and discussed the drawbacks of the many plastic surgeries Aguilera underwent. The diva of the early 21st century has lost her charm.
Jack Nicholson
Jack had an undeniable charm and charisma. His handsome personality and outstanding acting skills took him to the stature of a superstar early on in his career. Over time, Jack Nicholson became an icon and is still regarded as one of the naturally gifted actors of the 20th century.
Jack Nicholson: Now
Nicholson’s life revolved around hard partying, and he used to have a pretty wild lifestyle. That’s why he could age as well as he had given the fantastic career he has had in the industry. Sadly, this gifted actor isn’t much in demand because he looks way older and shabbier.
Goldie Hawn
Hawn is no more active in the entertainment industry, but she continues to be the queen of hearts. We cannot still forget her dazzling smile, which gave tough competition to famous actresses like Elizabeth Taylor and Meryl Streep.
Goldie Hawn: Now
Goldie Hawn’s looks have deteriorated rather quickly and unexpectedly. That’s all because of bad habits like improper sleep routine and poor dietary choices. An overall careless lifestyle took a toll on her body, which is evident from her recent pictures.
Melanie Griffith
Melanie Griffith was smart enough to pick the best roles throughout her career. Whenever she appeared on the big screen, her cuteness, charisma, and sensual appeal made people go gaga over the amazing actress.
Melanie Griffith: Now
Melanie used to be the perfect example of natural beauty. Still, over the years, the diva lost her charm because of multiple plastic surgeries, poor diet, and too much reliance on makeup.
Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz is that California beauty that most people think of when they think of Hollywood movie star. At 5’9, Cameron Diaz was born in San Diego, California to a Cuban father and American mother and started out modeling at 16 years old for Calvin Klein and Levi. It wasn’t until she was 21 years old that Cameron Diaz first appeared in the movie The Mask, with none other Canadian funnyman Jim Carrey.
After The Mask, Cameron Diaz was the “it” girl for nearly two decades, starring in one box office after another. She has graced the covers of countless magazines with that smile that radiates from within. In 2014, Cameron Diaz retired from acting and concentrated on her family. In 2015, she married musician Benji Madden and a few years later had a daughter.
Cameron Diaz: Now
Cameron Diaz had suffered what seems like a lifetime of bad acne. It also didn’t help that she was eating burgers and fries every day. Once she hit her 30s, her eating habits changed for the better and low and behold, her skin cleared up.
Cameron DiazI mean, I had terrible, terrible, skin,” she reveals. “It was embarrassing, and I did everything I could think of to make it go away. I tried to cover it with makeup. I tried to get rid of it with medication: oral, topical, even the harshest prescriptions. Nothing helped for very long. It was really challenging to cover them up for the cameras,” she writes. “It was awkward and embarrassing and frustrating, and I always felt really bad about myself. But her struggles persisted, she says, until she focused more on what she was putting into her body than how it looked on the outside.
Liza Minnelli
The beautiful actress with gorgeous, big eyes and flawless skin won over audiences with her incredible charm and wittiness. Not only her costars, producers/directors, and colleagues were smitten by her, but the entire nation was mad about Liza Minnelli.
Liza Minnelli: Now
The passionate actress has had a string of health issues over the years and stole her precious smile. We hope Liza recovers soon and reclaims her position as the ultimate diva of Hollywood.
Ozzy Osbourne
The sexy playboy of the band Black Sabbath was loved for his eccentric rock music back in the 1970s. Fans loved his songs, and due to his charismatic personality, Ozzy was dubbed the sexiest man alive in Britain a few decades earlier.
Ozzy Osbourne: Now
Fast forward to 2021, Ozzy looks tired and unkempt. Due to excessive alcohol and drug usage, Ozzy has put on weight and added many years on his face.
Pierce Brosnan
Arguably the most fierce, merciless, charming, witty, and charismatic Remington Steel and James Bond ever, Pierce Brosnan played the character perfectly. He could easily intimidate girls and fight with the bad guys with immense conviction. Perhaps while penning down the fictional James Bond, Sir Arthur must have kept someone like Brosnan in mind.
Pierce Brosnan: Now
We still cannot get over the hunky and very fit Pierce Brosnan. But the actor also falls into the category of those who didn’t take care of their bodies and paid the price. But we cannot blame him for looking a certain way; after all, he is now in his late 60s. The actor blames his penchant for road traveling as a reason for his messy shape nowadays, but we believe this is not an acceptable excuse.
Katie Couric
Couric worked as a journalist and caught news before anyone had any idea about it. She became a superstar because of her sheer beauty, confidence, and talent, which collectively made her irresistible.
Katie Couric: Now
Katie’s sleep routines have been all over the place, given the profession she is in and the challenges that are a part of it. Hence, she had to resort to unnatural ways of keeping herself young, such as plastic surgeries. No matter how she looks today, once a legend, always a legend.
Neil Young
Neil Young is credited for creating a new type of music. In fact, critics call him one of the greatest musicians ever to grace the industry. Neil was blessed with good looks and had a charismatic personality. These aspects, coupled with the great music he produced, made her the eye candy of women at the time.
Neil Young: Now
The rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle has its consequences. It is a hard-to-follow lifestyle, but Neil Young tried his best to do it well. Still, the hair loss he has been facing over the years has made him look older than his actual age.
Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone offered the ideal combination of beauty and talent. She shot to fame with her role in Basic Instinct and kept appearing in hit movies. There came a time when she had to take some time off from acting as she had suffered a stroke. Although Sharon recovered quickly, her stardom took a beating.
Sharon Stone: Now
Despite having remarkable self-confidence, Sharon Stone needs to modify her diet and lifestyle. She can get one plastic surgery done to get her previous look back.
Daryl Hannah
The Splash dream girl was known for her eccentric ways and unusual looks back in the 80s.
Daryl Hannah: Now
Today, her lips and cheeks look much fuller. This means she has gone under the knife. But the 59-year-old denies it and once said that plastic surgeries make people look like “Muppets.”
