Eva Mendes is 49 years old, but you’d assume she was a woman in her late 30s. The accomplished actress uses her appearance to her advantage in the films she does. We do think she has had some plastic surgery in recent years, however, which may have helped her maintain her youthful looks!

7. Nicki Minaj

9. Thomas Brodie-Sangster

Brandy is a singer, songwriter, actress, and model who has looked almost exactly the same for several decades. She’s 44, but if she gets cast in a movie again, it will be for a much younger role.

Next on our list of young-looking celebrities is Christina Aguilera, another excellent example of no-aging. She looks much younger than a person nearing their 43rd birthday.

Like Jared Leto, Pharrell Williams is a professional artist who looks like he could be in his mid-20s even though he’s 50 years old. Many speculate his youthful appearance comes from his choice to always wear a large baseball hat, which could detract from signs of the aging process in his skin.
