Madonna’s odd appearance at the just concluded Grammy Awards sparked many negative reactions from social media users who felt her unnatural, tightened, and puffy face resulted from numerous procedures she’s undergone and is still undergoing to slow down the effect of aging.
While this is true in her case and many others in the industry, a reasonable number of 60+ celebrities have embraced the natural order of things and have let age take its course. So we’re shining the light on them!

Jamie Lee Curtis
The Oscar-nominated actress has confessed to undergoing a few augmentations in the past, like Botox and lipo, which she revealed made her feel worse, and she hated it. Now the 64-year-old advocates for natural beauty and believes filters, products, and procedures are wiping out generations of beauty.
Curtis, who now proudly rocks a short, salt-and-pepper bob, warned :
Andie MacDowell
64-year-old Andie MacDowell has taken her stand in the beauty discourse and is fully team natural. She even debuted her natural gray hair at the 2021 Cannes Festival to prove that. She decided to stop coloring her hair during the Covid-19 lockdown, and she hasn’t looked back ever since.
Emma Thompson
At the golden age of 63, this beauty has fully welcomed the aging process and all that comes with it. She proudly shows off the grays in her hair and even dresses to suit her age now.
Thompson described plastic surgery as a form of collective psychosis to The Wrap last year and called it a “very strange thing to do.”
The actress also felt proud that her 2022 movie, Good Luck To You, Leo Grande , showed her unaugmented nude body.
Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone, 64, has tried out some tweaks by herself, including Botox, but a stroke she experienced in 2001 changed her relationship with cosmetic surgery.
The actress told Vogue Arabia’s September issue in 2022 that life doesn’t always make one feel like a winner as one grows older.
Stone had 300 shots of Botox and filler to reconstruct her face after the stroke, and it took a while for her to learn to embrace her body as she got older, which made her end her relationship with a much younger lover because of it.
Dawn French
The 65-year-old French star switched up her hair game after the COVID-19 lockdown and was heavily inspired by Jamie Lee Curtis. The actress reflected on a color change last October and was shocked by how the world has been fascinated by her hair change .
She has never tried to conceal the signs of aging on her skin and has let the wrinkles around her eyes remain.
Denise Welch
Denise Welch has been an open book about her aging process. The 64-year-old finds it empowering to show off her natural body now that she’s in her 60s. She revealed to Kaye Adams on the How To Be 60 podcast that:
Sean Bean
Sean Bean, 63, was crowned the Sexiest Man Alive in 2004 and earned a ‘Mean Sting’ moniker for his long blonde hair by the Times. He has since settled into the conservative attitude to aging and advocates for natural hacks over surgeries.
This is all thanks to the lines on his forehead and baggy eyes that have earned him hard-men-roles over the years, such as Ned Stark in HBO’s Game Of Thrones .
Tom Hanks
His range is as incredible as his face now that he’s 66 and has embraced it. He is famous for sporting salt and pepper touches in his hair over the years, and his skin is now beginning to display signs of a healthy older adult. But one thing is certain, though, Hanks is never one to discuss his looks or dwell on them.
Bryan Cranston
The Breaking Bad actor has opened up about growing older at 66 years old, and his attempts at getting fit for his age. He has even expressed little interest in going under the knife anytime soon to The Financial Times in 2014:
Cranston was spotted looking good during an outing with Aaron Paul in January, even though crowfeet and lines pointed to his old age.
