Human beings take a linear approach when it comes to recalling the past. We tend to view historical events as a succession of things as opposed to a multilayered branch wherein occurrences are happening simultaneously.
We take a similar stance when speaking about our favorite celebrities of the past and present, even though more often than not it simply isn’t the case. To get a better understanding of what I’m saying, check out these 15 celebrities who are actually the same age .

Paul Rudd and Ice Cube are 52
Paul Rudd and Ice Cube have clearly discovered the fountain of youth and are hogging it all to themselves. I swear that the only thing that’s changed in Ice Cube’s overall appearance from Boyz N the Hood up until now is the Gheri curl.
Jennifer Aniston and Jay-Z are both 52
Since I’m a ’90s kid, I will forever associate Jennifer with Rachel Green for as long as I live. In a similar fashion, whenever I think Jay-z, I always harken back to his music video for “Big Pimpin'”.
Post Malone and Kendall Jenner are only 26
It boggles my mind to think that “White Iverson” himself is only 26-years-old — it feels like he’s been around forever! The same goes for Kendall. I swear it was only yesterday that I started watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians and that was 15 years ago.
Alexis Bledel and Tom Hiddleston are 40
Coming to the realization that Rory Gilmour and Loki are the same age was a tough pill for me to swallow. If these two are 40-years-old, how old does that make me?! I shudder to think about it.
It doesn’t seem possible that Jack Black and Jennifer Lopez are 52
I’m sorry, Jack, but someone had to go up next to JLo. I think it goes without saying that Jennifer Lopez defies all known laws and rules that govern cellular biology. Years from now, when scientists finally come up with a way to stop a person from aging, it will no doubt be called “Jennifer’s Gene.”
Logan Paul and Timothée Chalamet are both just 26-years-old.
I know that this is an unpopular opinion, but between these two and their respective career trajectories — the one I’m most excited to watch is Logan Paul’s. Love him or hate him, Logan has endless possibilities and limitless opportunities for paths to pursue.
Gal Gadot and Carly Rae Jepsen turn 37 this year
Don’t get me wrong, Gal looks phenomenal and nowhere close to 37, but it’s Carly Rae that really causes me to do a double-take. I can still vividly remember when ” Call Me Maybe ” plagued the airways.
Chris Evans and Britney Spears are 40
That’s right, Captain America and the Queen of Pop are both 40-years-old. I still recall the days when Britney was wearing her hair in pigtails and rocking a girl’s private school uniform. Can you imagine what the kids would look like if these two ever got together? Have mercy.
Jim Parsons and Andrew Lincoln are both 48
Andrew Lincoln is at the Goldilocks stage of his life. He doesn’t look too old or too young — he’s just right. Jim Parsons, on the other hand, still looks like he could get shoved into a locker while walking down a high school hallway, and I mean that as a total compliment.
Emilia Clarke and Drake are 35
When I think of Drake, I think of the album Take Care . So as far as I’m concerned, he’s eternally 24 in my eyes. The same can be said for “The Mother of Dragons,” Ms. Emilia Clarke. She will always be Danaerys “Stormborn” Targaryen.
Paris Hilton and Meghan Markle are the big 4-0
I’m currently making my way through Paris in Love and it shocks me to learn that the social media mogul is now in her 40s! Does anyone else remember a time when Kim Kardashian’s only job/purpose was to hold Paris’ purse?
Emmy Rossum and Shia LaBeouf are 35
I’m a big Louis Sachar fan, so of course, growing up Holes was always one of my favorite movies. I also firmly believe that Emmy Rossum is one of the most underrated actresses working today.
Tobey Maguire and David Harbour are 46
I’m not going to lie — this one threw me for a loop. It’s not that David Harbour looks bad for being 46-years-old, rather, it’s just that Tobey Maguire looks the same today as he did back when he was web-slinging down Broadway back in the early 2000s.
Snoop Dogg and Jared Leto are both 50
I have a working theory that Jared Leto is a vampire. How else do you explain how anyone over the age of 50 can look as good as he does? The fact that he’s playing Morbius in the MCU just further amplifies my point.
Reese Witherspoon and Shakira
Hips don’t lie and neither do Shakira’s or Reese’s respective birth certificates. These two ladies look better than most women half their age, and their beauty is only eclipsed by their talent.
