10 Celebrities Who Have Completely Stopped Aging

GEORGE CLOONEY, AGE 51

First appearing on TV in 1978, but not in any way noticeable until 1994 and his role on "ER", George Clooney nowadays divides his time between "serious" films (where he has a beard and/or mustache) and "fun" films (where he assists Brad Pitt in committing crimes), using the latter to pay for the former.

His trademark salt-and-pepper Caesar cut, first sported during his turn on "ER", is a permanent fixture regardless of which kind of movie he's acting in. Clooney is also known for his charity work, his international activism, and his single-handed mission to personally apologize to everyone on Earth for his role in "Batman & Robin".

IMAN, AGE 57

Somali supermodel Iman Mohamed Abdulmajid may not be as prominent as she was at the height of her fashion career, but as the CEO and face of her own cosmetics company and the goodwill ambassador for a number of children's relief charities she's still very much in the public eye.

While Iman humbly insists that her graceful good looks are typical to most Somali people, her face and figure show no evidence of the 35 years she spent in the often stressful modeling industry. Her supernaturally youthful appearance is particularly striking compared to her husband of twenty years, obscure British musician and goblin king David Bowie, who has spent much of his late career slowly turning into a mummy.

CHOW YUN-FAT, AGE 57

Growing up poor and working a number of jobs in Kowloon, Chow Yun-fat lucked into a three-year contract with local Hong Kong TV station TVB, where he played a number of roles in soap operas and daytime television before hitting it big with a role in hit crime series "The Bund." While known to American audiences primarily for his action films like "Hard Boiled" and the wuxia epic "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Chow has played a wide variety of roles in Hong Kong and Chinese cinema, from comedy to romance to historical drama (notably, he played Confucius in the 2010 film of the same name).

His distinctive looks and youthful appearance have played a major part in his success, earning him the nickname "The Babyfaced Killer," and even though he's pushing sixty he retains the round cheeks and soft features that made him a breakout TV star instead of Hong Kong's handsomest taxi driver.

JACKIE CHAN, AGE 58

Born Chan Kong-sang to refugees from the Chinese Civil War, Jackie Chan has been a stunt performer and actor since the early seventies (when he worked alongside Bruce Lee), performing fight scenes and dialogue with an energy and enthusiasm he was known for even as a child, when his nickname was "Pao-Pao" meaning "cannonball." Today, Chan acts, fights, and even sings with the same manic, comic intensity that won him his fame in his twenties, and the most noticeable difference between his performances then and now is that he has a slightly less goofy haircut than he did in, say, Police Story.

What's particularly striking about Chan's age is that he's alive at all1, as he insists on coordinating and performing his own stunts (and even some of his costars stunts) and as a result has broken most of the bones in his body several times over. Chan has recently announced that he'll be doing less action work, expressing a desire to move into more dramatic roles where he will presumably hit fewer people with chairs.

SAMUEL L. JACKSON, AGE 63

It's sort of hard to think of a time when Samuel L. Jackson wasn't regularly appearing in movies, but for the first twenty years of his life Jackson was originally set on becoming a marine biologist and/or an armed revolutionary in the Atlanta-area Black Power movement. In fact, Jackson was suspended from Morehouse College (where he first got into acting) after an incident where he and several other students held the board of trustees hostage, demanding reforms in school curriculum and administration.

After his mother convinced him to abandon the movement (at least the part of it which carried guns), Jackson was briefly employed as a social worker before his return to Morehouse and a Bachelor of Arts in Drama. Jackson credits his ageless appearance to his baldness, a look he adopted when he first "felt this big hole in the middle of my afro" and later embraced as an aid to his acting career. Jackson is generally allowed to choose his own wigs for his roles, despite his publicly stated preference for the silliest hairstyles he can get away with wearing.

STEVE MARTIN, AGE 66

While Steve Martin didn't always have white hair (the change apparently started in his twenties), it was mostly or totally white at the peak of his fame-his eighties film career and his guest appearances on "Saturday Night Live", where he hosted or acted so often that many people ended up believing he was a permanent member of the cast. The hair and his smooth, unlined features make it hard to remember that he played Father of the Bride more than twenty years ago. Could his secret be the revolutionary Steve Martin's All-Natural Penis Beauty Crème:

CHUCK NORRIS, AGE 72

Okay everybody, take a minute to get all the jokes out of your system, blah blah blah beard with a fist in it, here's hoping someday this meme will share the same internet graveyard with Mr. T Ate My Balls. The pertinent Chuck Norris fact is that he's 72 years old and in astonishing shape for a man who once got his ass kicked by Bruce Lee (as did Jackie Chan, come to think of it... maybe they know something we don't).

When he's not writing articles for WorldNetDaily about how the President is a Martian homosexual, Norris is involved in a number of charities, including veterans' rights and care programs, children's medical care in India, and the Make-A-Wish foundation, where I can only assume he spends his time beating up the enemies of dying children.

TINA TURNER, AGE 72

Every pop star with a vagina and one or two songs about being "sassy" eventually attempts to lay claim to the title of diva, but all it takes to show them up as a bunch of pitch-corrected also-rans is an appearance by Tina Turner. Born in 1939 as Anna Mae Bullock, she first began singing professionally in St. Louis after attracting the attention of pioneering musician and horrible asshole Ike Turner.

Her solo career began when Ike became too coked up to do anything but try and murder her, and went on to span entire decades. Most recently she toured the country in 2008, and has contributed her still-powerful voice and talents to several compilation albums. Who runs Bartertown? Tina runs Bartertown!
