Turning 45, looks like 30...


Does anybody (apart from me) think that she looks around 30 years old when she is actually 44?

I have always thought that she is one of the few celebrities which appear to be of a much younger age than they really are.

But honestly, would anybody who looked at this photo (recent) think she is 44?

I'm demanding. I may hate Casablanca and enjoy Freddy vs. Jason

Yeah. Look at the lines around her eyes, for example. She is pretty...not like she was before, but she definitely looks her age and there is nothing wrong with that.

She looks awesome, definite poster child for being good to your skin. Nice to see a former child star who didn't destroy themselves with drink and drugs.
In some lighting situations she can totally pull of somewhere in her 30's. With the exception of young children it's hard to pin down ages accurately.
Jennifer has been an odd case because as a young teen she looked way older than she was, and then she went the other direction and stayed looking mid to late 20's (in my opinion) well into her 30's.

Be nice to your bodies everyone, with any luck you'll be stuck with it for awhile.

I agree with your age assessment -- looked older younger, and younger older.

She also seems to have avoided the weight gain of other large-breasted actresses as they age. Often women with big boobs seem to have predisposition for weight gain and their metabolism catches up with them as they age, and they round out overall.

She was either a real freak of nature in that regard (a skinny woman with big boobs) or she worked very hard at her diet to avoid weight gain as she aged, all the more remarkable for having had a couple of kids.

?? skinny woman with big boobs who avoided eight gain??

Have you not seen any of her earlier movies, when she was very young?

She was normal weight and looked beautiful. She now has a severe eating disorder and is a walking skeleton. That's not working "very hard...to avoid weight gain", it's mental and physical illness. Watch "Shelter". She plays a heroin addict and looks unhealthy as that character should, but this is not Christian Bale losing weight for a role. She has been scary-deathly-skinny for a long long time. It's a shame she doesn't seem to be seeking help for the anorexia, as she is a gifted actress.

Anorexic? LOL, she's healthy and looks it. I think the world's vision (or America's at least) is skewed by watching 250lb heifers run their scooters around the snack isles in Walmart.

Funny how people seeing a lean athletic woman as having an eating disorder but ignore the millions of women who are morbidly obese and proud of it.

Shes hot. Nuff said.

Yeah!

It doesn't matter. When she was around eighteen she could hold it down as the hottest.

Looks her age - but very good for her age. People are obsessed with looking 20 years younger. There's nothing wrong with looking good for your age.

reply

Looks 40 there but still very good.
