Quiz: Can You Correctly Guess The Ages Of These Celebrities?
We might not think about it very often, but the truth is that we spend our lives surrounded by celebrities. As we grow up, we learn to recognise the faces of the actors in our favourite movies, and plaster our walls with posters featuring the singers of our favourite music. Often, we pick what media we're going to consume on the basis of whether our favourite celebrities are in it or not, and we keep up to date with their lives as if they were family or friends.
Magazines and websites inform us every time a famous person gets married or divorced, and we follow their pregnancies and career progression intently, even though we don't really know them at all. Our familiarity with the celebrities we care about can be so intense that we feel happy for them when they win awards or grow their families, and we're often surprised by how sad we are when they pass away.
So given how much information we absorb about our favourite celebrities from day to day, it should be pretty easy to guess how old they are, right? Wrong. It turns out that correctly identifying the ages of the stars plastering billboards and magazines is way harder than you might expect, especially given how many of them have the ability to keep looking young seemingly forever.
