At the end of the day, even the best plastic surgeon can’t stop their clients from aging, and the following celebrities prove it. Apparently, these celebrities don’t put much stock into aging gracefully, because their current situation is anything but.
Mickey Rourke

The good news for Mickey Rourke is that he still has a full head of hair, which is uncommon for men of his age. The bad news is we aren’t quite sure what he is doing with it, if he wants to be a samurai, or if he has heard of facial moisturizer.
Keith Richards

Frankly, we aren’t really sure how Keith Richards is still alive after decades of hardcore drug use and partying. In a way, he looks like the undead, and we bet most nights on stage he feels it as well.
Donatella Versace

She may be the reigning princess of one of the top fashion brands in the world, but between the bad lip job and the sunken eyes, she looks more like something out of Area 51.
Madonna

The Queen of pop needs to learn a few things about self-care because from the look of things, she is self-destructing over time. At this rate, things don’t bode well for her once she hits the big 6-0.
Jocelyn Wildenstein

Either Jocelyn Wildenstein got stung by a dozen mad hornets or she escaped from Area 51, because this person bears very little resemblance to her former self. We can guess how she ended up bankrupt.
Elsa Patton
Sure, plastic surgery can aid the aging process, but it can also go horribly, horribly wrong – just ask Elsa Patton.
Wayne Newton
Newton established himself as one of Las Vegas’s most popular and highest-paid performers. Maybe the best days are gone but we’d love to hear him sing soon.
Courteney Cox
Courteney Cox is comfortable in her skin. In fact, the Friends star is looking forward to turning 60. Good for her!
Catherine Bach
Catherine Bach is a renowned American actress known for insuring her legs at a whopping $1,000,000. Guess she made it in time!
Carrot Top

Oddly enough, we actually think Carrot Top looks a little better now than he did in his before picture. However, when the bar is set that low it isn’t too hard.
Lindsay Lohan

While we all like to remember sweet Lindsay from her days as a child actress, the Lindsay of today looks like she was had a few too many all-nighters, and it shows in every nook and cranny of her face.
Goldie Hawn

Goldie Hawn had her day, but that day is now long gone. We hope that Kate Hudson is paying attention to her mom’s face and going a bit lighter on the plastic surgery so she doesn’t share the same fate.
Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson has always had a sort of ethereal quality about him, which made his psychological films even more thrilling. However, now his vibe is straight creepy neighbor next door and we can’t help but shudder.
Chevy Chase

Is it Chevy Chase or Chubby Chase, because these days it is really hard to know. At the moment, Chevy is working on a third chin, so we really feel like he needs to stop while he is ahead.
Iggy Pop

The shirtless look isn’t quite as effective once you become a man with a saggy chest and wrinkles as far as the eye can see. Iggy Pop looks more like an iguana than a pop legend in this photo.
Brigitte Bardot

It hurts to age – just ask Brigitte Bardot, who is far past her golden days. We wonder if anyone has ever told her that they make hair dye, because addressing some of that rat’s nest up there might be a good start.
Robert Redford

Robert Redford is the original heartthrob of the 21st century, but it’s hard to see that now as his boyish smile is hidden behind years of wrinkles and an almost reddening skin tone.
Jamie Lee Curtis

In all honesty, Jamie Lee Curtis was never that stunning, but her role in True Lies gave her license to turn on a bit of sex appeal. Sadly, that is all but gone now, but we give her major props as one of Hollywood’s smartest stars.
Mick Jagger

Frankly, we don’t understand how people thought he was hot 60 years ago, so it’s understandable that he is certainly not hot now that he is a septarian rocker. He still has a full head of hair, though, and that’s pretty remarkable.
Diane Keaton
Diane Keaton still looks terrific at age 71, in part because her iconic style never gets old. Learn from her!
Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson, once the icon of perfection, has taken a turn for the worse as her fake makeup, Botox, and hair extensions seem to be expiring against her. She’s paying her stylist far too much for what she’s getting.
Brendan Fraser

From heartthrob to middle-aged bum, we aren’t sure what happened to Brendan Fraser but we know it isn’t good. On the bright side, we are pretty sure NO ONE recognizes him while out in public these days.
Johnny Depp

It’s no secret that Johnny Depp has been very openly self-destructing over the last few years, but seeing just how hot he looked next to how creepy he looks now makes it an even tougher pill to swallow.
Matthew Perry

Matthew Perry was never a knockout, but the Friends superstar looks every bit of the failed sitcom star now as he basks in the glow of being a one-hit-wonder.
Britney Spears

We know she’s been spending most of her time trapped in miserable conservatorship, but you’d think along the way someone would have ordered a better makeup artist (or some Botox).
Meg Ryan

While no one is probably going to call Meg Ryan a fox anymore, the starlet is still actually doing okay for a middle-aged woman. She’s not in the J.LO category of middle age, but aside from some wrinkles is managing to age with grace.
Macaulay Culkin

We aren’t sure what happened after Home Alone to result in this monstrosity, but Macaulay needs an intervention stat. From his weird rantings to his actual appearance, this guy needs a conservatorship much more than Britney.
Caitlyn Jenner

We know Caitlyn Jenner hasn’t had a lot of time to learn the art of makeup, but it’s almost like she’s deep in her tweens just learning how to apply makeup. Her hair, however, is remarkable.
Lil’ Kim

Very few people are probably still calling her Lil’ Kim, but if the star is happy with who she is then who are we to judge. We have to say, outside of the weight gain she still looks pretty darn good.
Jim Carrey

One thing we have always loved about Jim Carrey is that the star is transparent and not concerned with stardom. We would wager to say that is probably why – unlike other Hollywood megastars – we can actually see him age.
Kirstie Alley

Does being a Scientologist mean you can’t correct a botched plastic surgery? Asking for a friend, because Kirstie Alley has seen better days and is now the epitome of one hot mess.
Russell Crowe

Yikes is the simplest thing to say at first sight of this photo. Either Russell Crowe is training to be a wizard in his next film or his newest cause is to save the world from plastic razors.
La Toya Jackson

While we do think that she needs to work on this hairband, given how harshly some of the Jacksons have aged, we think that LaToya Jackson is actually not looking too bad.
Kate Moss

Once a British supermodel, we can only guess that Kate Moss was having an off-day when this shot was taken. From the wrinkles to the bad eyeliner, we suggest asking her makeup artist for a few tips.
Sylvester Stallone

Once the steroids run out there is truly nothing left, and Sylvester Stallone is a pretty good example of that. The Rocky star now looks like life has thrown a few punches his way.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

Transitioning from a movie star to the governor of California is not the easiest, and Arnold Schwarzenegger is solid proof of that. He has aged a few decades over the last ten years.
Kelly McGillis

Once a young temptress, Kelly McGillis is one of the few Hollywood stars who seem content to let aging take its place. In a world of plastic, Kelly has settled into older age with a surprising sense of comfortability.
Steven Seagal

Steven Seagal is originally from Minnesota, but he seems to think that he is a Minnesota Kingpin in this picture. Either way, we feel like he could use a little help from wardrobe now and then.
Al Pacino

Truth be told, Al Pacino looks more like a Godfather than he ever did back in his early days. We’d love to see an updated film with him recast in his old role as an aging mobster in the modern world.
Joan Van Ark

Once stunning, Joan Van Ark is a lesson to all Hollywood celebs of what can go wrong when you lean into plastic surgery just a bit too hard. We shudder to think what her skin must feel like at this point.
Matt LeBlanc

On Friends, Matt LeBlanc played a character prepared to eat just about everything, and given how much he has broadened out in his later years some of that may have been art imitating life.
Shauna Sand

Oh, girl, it is time to get out of the tanning bed and stop with the lip treatments. Even Barbie looks better than what Shauna has done to herself.
Billy Crystal

Billy Crystal has one heck of a receding hairline and one painfully shiny rounded forehead. Maybe his next film role should be the moon because frankly, that is all we can think of when looking at him.
Sarah Jessica Parker

We aren’t quite sure Sarah Jessica Parker would have ever been considered hot if she didn’t play a sex columnist on HBO, but we are quite sure she doesn’t meet any standard of hot now.
Barbra Streisand

We thinks that Babs maybe went a little crazy with the lip plumper, we also think she needs to pick a more natural hair color. There’s so much going on in this swollen face that nothing is working in her favor.
Steven Tyler

Let’s face it, Steven Tyler was never by any means attractive, so it should come as little surprise that he is aging to look like a baboon. Actually, when you consider the man’s history it kinda fits.
Edward Furlong

Once cute and dark, now Edward Furlong is darker and strung out. We suggest he cut some of that hair off if he isn’t going to wash it, and perhaps rethink the goatee which isn’t doing him any favors.
Sally Struthers

Sally always had a girl next door look, so it’s probably not too shocking that she now looks like the mom next door: the jolly mom on the street everyone loves because she always has a fresh pie and words of wisdom.
Paul Stanley

Paul Stanley has always had a pretty face, but as he ages, that pretty pout and those odd, perfectly-angled eyebrows make him look more like a creepy uncle than a musical superstar.
Kathleen Turner

We can still see those smoldering eyes and perfectly parted lips under the aging that has turned Kathleen Turner into an aging grandma. Clearly, she isn’t trying to maintain a perfect image at this point in life.
Val Kilmer

Val has clearly turned to food for comfort in his later years, and the results are not pretty. Triple chins are never a good look, and it is surprising that he can’t manage a better diet given he can afford a personal trainer if he wanted.
Janice Dickinson

It’s hard to believe that Janice Dickinson was the first supermodel, given how she has let herself go later in life. We suspect it’s a mixture of not caring and plastic surgery gone terribly wrong.
Ozzy Osbourne

Out of everyone on this list, we actually don’t think Ozzy looks too rough all things considered. In fact, we believe the star has had some fillers because there are almost no wrinkles on his face and, given his lifestyle, we know there should be a few.
Demi Moore

She burst onto the Hollywood scene in the 80s fresh faced and with a mane of dark hair. But sometime in 2021 fans believed she has had work done after making an appearance during Paris Fashion Week. Some thing she is now unrecognizable and looks nothing like herself of old.
Miley Cyrus

Once upon a time, Miley Cyrus was a sweet little girl, but it’s hard to even see a passing resemblance to the teen star who is now one big mess all over.
Courtney Love

We didn’t expect much from a lady who once wore a trash bag to an awards show and called it fashion, but Courtney Love looks so painfully swollen here we have to look away.
Gene Simmons

Let’s face it, no one expected Gene Simmons to age gracefully, so in reality, this isn’t as bad as it could be. We suspect he dyes his hair, though, because there is no way he has lived his lifestyle without a few gray hairs.
Teri Hatcher

Teri Hatcher has always had a sultry look about her, and you can still see it here in her deep brown eyes, but unfortunately, they are lined by a lot of wrinkles and creases that are a bit shocking to see.
Ted Nugent

Let’s start with the creepy soul patch, which someone needs to attack with a razor right now. Then let’s finish with the undereye circles and questionable choice of clothing. Of course, pretty much everything about Ted Nugent is questionable.
Boy George

As one of the most iconic gay men of the ’80s, we don’t understand how Boy George so easily adopted the skinhead look, but we certainly don’t like it. He’s creepy now but in a totally different way.
Kelly LeBrock

Kelly LeBrock should be the new spokesperson for what can go wrong if you don’t choose the right plastic surgeon for the job. Her lip job is horrendous, and all of the wrinkles around her stretched smile prove that even Botox isn’t magic.
Renée Zellweger

Renee Zellweger is one of the few Hollywood actresses of the ’90s not to be embroiled in a scandal (unless you count marrying Jim Carrey), but she definitely had a lot of work done because she hardly resembles herself anymore.
Leonardo DiCaprio

Compared to the sudden decline of some of the heartthrobs on our list, Leo isn’t doing too badly, but it is clear that he has put on some weight and has a bit of a receding hairline. Those piercing eyes, however, are just as perfect as ever.
Sophia Loren

Once a Hollywood darling, Sophia Loren now looks like something out of a drag show, and not the good kind where you are blown away by the pageantry of some of the men.
Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek is one of those people who never seems to age. We aren’t sure why she is on this list, because if we looked like her in our 50s we would be pretty content.
John Travolta

The problem with old John Travolta is that he doesn’t look old, in fact, he looks more like a wax statue of himself due to his pale skin and completely plastic face. In this case, less really would have been more.
Clint Eastwood

Clint Eastwood is no young cowboy anymore, and anyone who sees him in modern times would know that in a second. He could use some hair gel now, though, because that comb-over doesn’t quite have the same effect unless he is going for puffball.
Nick Nolte

Nick Nolte is definitely one of those stars who doesn’t have to worry about security because it is a safe bet that no one recognizes him these days. His overall look here could easily be described as “homeless.”
Nikki Cox

Somebody needs to tell Nikki Cox that the goal of plastic surgery is to look better than when you started. Things are just a bit too tight on her face now, not to mention those bloated lips.
Axl Rose

We aren’t sure what to say here, except maybe lose the neck chains and try to act your age, because rebellion doesn’t look so great on a 50-year-old.
Katie Price

At one point in Katie Price’s career, she was a cute little vixen, but then she jumped on the crazy plastic surgery train and derailed somewhere along the way. The phrase “au natural” needs to enter her vocab before it’s too late.
Brad Pitt

For a while, it seemed like Brad Pitt never aged, but apparently being married to Angelina Jolie and having half a dozen kids can put some wrinkles on your face and age a man.
Anthony Michael Hall

It’s been a long time since Sixteen Candles, and it shows in Anthony Michael Hall, who now looks more like a suburban doctor more than the not-so-secret crush of teenagers everywhere.
Mark Hamill

The force hasn’t treated Mark Hamill too well, as the actor known as Luke Skywalker for pretty much the rest of his life has not aged easily. Somewhere under that beard is Mark, but he isn’t coming out.
Neil Young

We wonder if Neil Young knew just how prophetic his song “Old Man” would be when he wrote it. It may be time for him to lose the hat because it makes him look just a bit more senile.
Richard Gere

Has anyone told Richard Gere that you can indeed buy hair dye? It would do him wonders to put down the silver shampoo and darken his tone up a little.
Morgan Freeman

Morgan Freeman never seemed too concerned about his looks, but really, for a man that has played God four times and President three times, vanity seems well… a bit vain.
Lara Flynn
Men in Black II star Lara Flynn Boyle has said she felt she was in her prime at 32 and was “not looking forward to ageing”. We can see why.
Geena Davis
Davis discussed various run-ins she’s had with ageism in Hollywood revealing she was denied a role because the leading man said she was too old, even though the actor was older than her.
Cybill Shepherd
Cybill Shepherd is having a good cry. “Grandma is a crybaby these days,” says the actress, who at age 72 doesn’t hide her emotions.
Bruce Willis
Nothing compared to Bruce as John McClane, his hard-pressed alter ego in the Die Hard films. We think those were his best days.
Kelly Le Brock
On-screen siren Kelly LeBrock can still WOW us at age 62. All she needs is some good clothes.
Chuck Norris
Chuck recommends exercising four times a week for at least 20-30 minutes. It serves as one key to increasing longevity and preventing aging. Good thing he shared his secret!
Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg said she doesn’t have to worry about aging unlike other actors in Hollywood: ‘My stuff’s going to sag and fall and I will be fine’
Suzanne Somers
Suzanne Somers, 75, Says ‘Aging Can Be so Incredible if You Know How to Approach It’.
Nicole Eggert
We would still love for Nicole to run past us at the beach!
Melanie Griffith
Melanie Griffith, 63, proves she just gets better with age as she looks youthful in workout clothes… after 45 years in show business.
Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore, 47, Says She’s ‘Never Subscribed’ to the Pressure to Look Young. Confidence looks good on you Drew!
Andie McDowell
At 63, Andie Macdowell Says She’s ‘Never Felt More Beautiful. “I think aging is something that you either have to decide that you like it or you don’t. It’s a choice”, said Andie.
Penélope Cruz
Penélope once said – “Journalists have been asking me, since I was, like, 22, ‘Are you afraid of ageing?’ That is such a crazy question for a 22-year-old girl or, for that matter, for a 42-year-old.” And we agree!
Julianne Moore
It seems fitting that an actor who established herself as a sensitive, unnerving talent in independent cinema has found a similar home in niche beauty. We should borrow some tips.
Kate Winslet
Your Forties Are Your Sexiest, Most Powerful Decade. And Kate sure proves that!
Celebrity Weight Loss: Want To Know Their Secrets?

Drew Barrymore can not afford to skip even one day of training on any given day. That’s how dedicated she is to maintaining her lifestyle.

The Precious actress underwent Laparoscopic Bariatric surgery soon after she was informed of her diagnosis. While weight loss transformation is often governed by the desire to appeal to a certain standard of appearance, Sidibe’s motivation was rather highly influenced by the possibility of her health slowly fleeting away. In an interview with People, she had stated that she’d much rather avoid being in constant anxiety about losing her toes or other effects associated with diabetes.

Thus, her weight loss journey began. Surprisingly, the key to the effectiveness of her diet was simply getting enough sleep. Apart from that, practicing Ketogenic diet and choosing a workout routine that she actually enjoyed contributed a lot towards her weight loss success. Most importantly, her weight loss regime did not include starvation or extreme dietary restriction which sends the right message especially to the young fans that she has.
Kevin James – 80 Pounds – Gym Exercises
Kevin James was never one to make the topic of his weight be an issue, and oftentimes he’d even go as far as incorporating his overweight figure in his comedy.

Thus when he showed up 80 pounds lighter following the filming and release of his movie Here Comes The Boom, the public was pleasantly surprised to see Kevin in a much slimmer figure. Safe to say The King Of Queens star looks unrecognizable! In a good way, of course.

Instead she focused on on bettering her eating habits which was made easier through her vegetarian lifestyle as well as deliberately switching to a healthier and more active lifestyle.

She also steered clear of sugary food and drinks to further aid in her process of losing weight.

It goes to show that external encouragement could do wonders to anyone looking to lose weight.
Oprah Winfrey – 60 Pounds – Weight Watcher Program
Oprah prides herself on being a devoted follower of the Weight Watcher Program which has helped her lose weight over the years. The legendary entrepreneur has tried jumping on the liquid diet bandwagon yet was sadly met with disappointment as the result was temporary. The ultimate weight loss technique according to Oprah is striving to have a balanced life on top of building the habit of eating well and being active. She also said there is no such thing as abstinence when it comes to her diet. She’d eat whatever she craves as long as it is in moderation. Her motivation seems to mirror that of Christina Aguilera’s who shares the same sentiment. Maybe the secret of losing weight in the long run after all is simply being moderate in what we eat.
Lisa Riley – 168 Pounds – Calorie Deficit
Apart from her role in Emmerdale as Mandy Dingle, Lisa Riley has also been prominently known for her weight loss which leaves constant flood of fans congratulating and admiring her new figure on all her social medias.

Duane “Dog” Chapman – 17 Pounds – Eating Less
While most celebrities’ weight loss are their own deliberate attempts, Duane “Dog” Chapman weight loss’s story echoes a little differently. Experiencing loss of any kind is a battle no one is ever prepared for, and often times grief overshadows hope. After losing his beloved wife, Chapman struggled with maintaining his appetite as he would go days without a bite. After a period of time, he realized that even thought he was losing weight by method of negligence, it took a positive impact on his health somehow. Since then he vows to continue losing his weight in a healthier way in order to bounce back. Chapman’s strength and resilience in going through the toughest transition of his life and continuing his days now without the presence of his wife, is certainly uplifting.
Mo’Nique – 80 Pounds – Clean Eating
Being patient in your journey of losing weight is a principle Mo’Nique stands firmly by and has resonated with her fans, attracting many positive comments from her supporters.
