For most of us, life has never been kind. We may recall these celebs when they first appeared on TV, but they also experience hardships in life. No matter how much we avoid aging, we will all have to face it. As a result, we may not look as pretty as we were in our prime years. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. Many of these stars still have a successful career in showbiz even though their looks have changed. It’s proof that aging will not affect your talent. From Val Kilmer to Johnny Depp, here are some aging stars who are almost unrecognizable!
Val Kilmer Then
Val Kilmer began his career on stage before moving into acting. In 1983, he made his television debut in an ABC Afterschool Special, alongside a teenage Michelle Pfeiffer. By the end of the decade, he’d starred alongside Tom Cruise in Top Gun, and by the mid-1990s, Val Kilmer was deemed serious hot cash. In Oliver Stone’s blockbuster film about The Doors, he notably beat out INXS’ Michael Hutchence for the role of Jim Morrison. His performance in Heat with De Niro and Pacino is widely regarded as his best.
Val Kilmer THEN
Val Kilmer Now
Although others have said that Val’s waistline has shrunk over the years, we think he still looks great for his era. Regrettably, he has vanished from the large and tiny screens. He shocked viewers with a sudden weight loss, stating on Twitter to be down to 165 pounds after years of gaining weight. Val’s career has come to an end. In reality, he’s been performing Citizen Twain, a one-person show written by him and starring only him. In 2012, he earned a Grammy Award for his spoken word work. Rumors of a Top Gun sequel may also serve as motivation to get back in shape. Val, you’re looking great!
Val Kilmer Now
Sally Struthers Then
When Sally Struthers portrayed Gloria Stivic, the daughter of Edith and Archie Bunker in Norman Lear’s pioneering sitcom All in the Family, she won over American hearts. She was not expecting to get the part since it has initially been offered to Candice Azarra, who portrayed Gloria in the pilot episode. Candice was quickly scrapped to make room for Sally. Gloria Struthers was noted for her blonde pigtails and stubborn demeanor while coping with her overbearing father. Sally’s life was smooth sailing from then on, when she rose to become one of America’s most famous television personalities.
Sally Struthers Then
Sally Struthers Now
It’s unrealistic to anticipate the years to be generous to everyone, but Sally hasn’t let her age deter her from functioning. She’s been a longtime supporter of the Christian Children’s Fund (now ChildFund), which helps hungry and impoverished children in developing countries. She also starred as Dolly in the 50th-anniversary production of Hello, Dolly! in 2014. In episodes about a hungry boy called “Starvin’ Marvin,” Struthers was satirized twice on South Park. The humor centers on Struthers’ overconsumption compared to her efforts to support those who are hungry, implying that she is hoarding food. She was reportedly upset by the characterization, something we can understand. Ignore the naysayers and keep doing your best self, Sally.
Sally Struthers Now
Mickey Rourke Then
In 1982, Mickey Rourke made his comedy debut in the film Diner. Though it didn’t entirely break new ground, his acting ability and ability to discuss the controversial subject matter in his positions propelled him to stardom in 1986’s 912Weeks and 1987’s Angel Core. Though mild by today’s standards, these films cemented his status as a sex icon alongside co-stars Kim Basinger and Lisa Bonet. On the other hand, Rourke realized that he’d had enough of acting and turned to box in 1991. When he was younger, he had practiced as a fighter. His boxing career was short-lived, lasting just three years.
Mickey Rourke Then
Mickey Rourke Now
When Rourke returned to acting after a career in boxing in the 1990s, he landed a few small parts. His fantastic skill encouraged him to work tirelessly, frequently playing misfits and misguided tough guys, despite his face being badly bruised from his time on the fight scene. Rourke didn’t have another significant supporting appearance until 2005’s Sin City. His success in The Wrestler won him a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and an Oscar nomination in 2009. He’s had a lot of cosmetic surgeries over the years and, as a result, is a handsome older guy.
Mickey Rourke Now
Kathleen Turner Then
It was challenging to go to the cinema in the 1980s without seeing Kathleen Turner. She starred in films such as Body Heat, Romancing the Stone, Prizzi’s Honor, The War of the Roses, and Peggy Sue Got Married, all of which were hugely popular. Her smoldering good looks and seductive voice rendered her an ideal option for the part of femme fatale in Hollywood. During the decade, she earned the Golden Globe for Best Actress and was nominated for an Academy Award.
Kathleen Turner Then
Kathleen Turner Now
Kathleen Turner has little influence over her transition from a sex siren to a regular citizen. She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in the 1990s, which caused her excruciating discomfort, and tried to confine her to a wheelchair. Some critics were critical of the drug recommended for her recovery because it induced general weight gain and bloating. Turner, like so many other female actors, was pushed out of the spotlight, and her acting offers shifted from “star” to “mother” or even “grandmother.” Her arthritis has thankfully gone into remission in recent years, and she has starred in a variety of guest parts over the years, including Friends, Nip/Tuck, and Californication. We’re relieved that she’s looking and doing healthier.
Kathleen Turner Now
Rupert Everett Then
In 1984, Rupert Everett received a BAFTA for his debut performance as Julian Mitchell in Another Nation. In a 1930s English school, he portrayed an openly gay student. He was known for portraying bad boys, and his smoldering good looks helped him land roles in films in the 1980s and 1990s. With his song, Generation of Loneliness, Everett attempted (unsuccessfully) to transform his celebrity into a music career as a pop star. But it was too late; the audience still saw him as a fantastic performer, and fans ignored his artistic projects. In 1997, for My Best Friend’s Wedding, he received his second BAFTA and his first Golden Globe.
Rupert Everett Then
Rupert Everett Now
There’s nothing wrong with Rupert’s current appearance because he no longer resembles the fresh-faced kid who once graced the silver screen. He is, though, still behaving as frequently as he once did. He appeared in Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children this year and previously in the Shrek films and the Chronicles of Narnia. He’s also taken up fiction, having written two memoirs and a novel. He’s been vocal about various political and social topics, including decriminalizing prostitution and same-sex marriage. Clearly, there has always been more to this new Renaissance guy than what appears on the table.
Rupert Everett Now
Lara Flynn Boyle Then
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Twin Peaks was both a horror favorite and a big television success. David Lynch’s strange outlook on small-town living in the aftermath of the mysterious assassination of Laura Palmer caught the public’s imagination all around the country. Suppose there was a face to Twin Peaks, Lara Flynn Boyle, who played Donna Howard, Laura’s near friend who became fascinated with solving the crime, in both seasons of the show’s brief run. However, she did not reprise her part in the film sequel, and she has already declined a role in a new TV series set to premiere in 2017.
Lara Flynn Boyle Then
Lara Flynn Boyle Now
Like every other human who has aged through the years, Lara Flynn Boyle is no longer the sex siren of her childhood. Instead, she’s a well-dressed, distinguished-looking middle-aged lady who has put in some effort. It’s easy to see how a young beauty would feel pressured to keep their looks with surgical procedures as they get older. Lara made the best choice for herself, and she is in excellent shape for her generation.
Lara Flynn Boyle Now
Igor and Grichka Bogdanov Then
Igor and Grichka Bogdanov, French identical twin celebrities, began their careers as science television presenters in the 1970s, but their identities and social lives frequently overshadowed their jobs. The Bogdanov affair, in particular, called into doubt the validity of the theoretical physics articles they wrote and encouraged. The brothers remained in the public eye and were dubbed “heartthrobs” over time. Beginning in the late 1990s, viewers observed as their unique features changed drastically.
Igor And Grichka Bogdanov Then
The Twins Now
Igor and Grichka Bogdanov’s fascination with cosmetic surgery began in the late 1990s and has lasted too long. The identical twins chose to have their operations simultaneously, which enabled them to keep their twin look as their faces changed. The Bogdanov twins are now 70 years old and appear like this. The twins are said to have undergone numerous chin and cheek implants, according to reports. Botox and fillers are also accessible.
The Twins Now
Axl Rose Then
Guns’n’Roses, fronted by the lithe and limber, controversial-but-not-just-for-wearing-bike-shorts-on-stage Axl Rose, became undisputed kings of complex rock music in 1987. “Appetite for Destruction” has shipped over 30 million copies worldwide, with the follow-up “Use Your Illusion” selling another 35 million. Rose was famous back then for sparking riots and tossing liquor bottles at fans during live shows, in addition to possessing an impressive vocal ability. However, the project quickly disintegrated due to personal disagreements. For a long time, the band went on hiatus before eventually launching the album “Chinese Democracy,” which did not sell as well as their label had hoped.
Axl Rose Then
Axl Rose Now
It’s quick to get into the habit of comfort food if you don’t work too hard. That seems to be what happened to Axl Rose, who has transitioned from his tight-bodied youth to a more mature body form. He extols the virtues of Taco Bell on Twitter, but isn’t rock and roll just about excess? Doritos Cheesy in excess Backstage, Gordita Crunches could have eliminated much of his booze from his glory days. He is, though, on his way out. He took over as frontman for AC/DC on tour in 2016, and Guns’n’Roses recently reunited and planned a world tour. Axl, you’ve got it!
Axl Rose Now
Jackie Stallone Then
Jackie Stallone is best known for being the mother of actor Sylvester Stallone and singer Frank Stallone. On the other hand, her presence sparked much more media attention than is typical for a celebrity mom, and she has made several appearances on the TV interview circuit. In 2005, she also featured on Celebrity Big Brother in the United Kingdom. However, it’s understandable that anyone in the public spotlight might be concerned with their image. Stallone has had more than her fair share of cosmetic surgeries.
Jackie Stallone Then
Jackie Stallone Now
We can’t fault Jackie for wanting to relive her childhood, but some people believe she went too fast with the surgeries. We tell, to each his own, though she has recently said that one of her operations was “botched.” Her lips may have seemed a little puffy at first, but these would fade with time and revert to a more normal condition. Jackie passed away peacefully in her sleep in 2020, at the age of 98.
Jackie Stallone Now
Mark Hamill Then
In the first Star Wars series, Mark Hamill, who portrayed Luke Skywalker, was a cultural figure who influenced generations of filmmakers. Mark’s Star Wars popularity didn’t always bode well for his future. “I don’t want Luke Skywalker in my video,” one producer said emphatically. Mark’s performance was too legendary for him to be quickly placed in other films, and he spent the rest of his career performing voiceover work. Many of the cartoon adaptations of the story from the last few decades included him as Batman’s wicked nemesis, the Joker.
Mark Hamill Then
Mark Hamill Now
When the only job is off-screen, who cares what you look like? Mark Hamill let it slip for a while because, after all, who cares if no one sees you? And the traffic accident he had during the first Star Wars film certainly didn’t help matters. There are genuine scars from the crash, as seen in The Empire Strikes Back. Mark Hamill was ordered to hit the gym and regain some of his previous good-looking glory as Star Wars resurfaced for a sequel trilogy, and he was approached to reprise the part of Luke Skywalker. It succeeded, and he always sees it as the sex appeal he once was.
Mark Hamill Now
Catherine Bach Then
Catherine Bach, who played Daisy Duke in Dukes of Hazzard, was perhaps the most prominent sex icon of the 1980s. Throughout the season, she was known for wearing hot denim pants and looking alluring, and she served as a foil for the Duke brothers and their adventures fighting the hapless Boss Hogg and his underlings. Her legs were rumored to be insured for 1 million dollars at the height of her popularity. Have the stress. If you injure yourself when shaving, you might be prosecuted. Producers revived the part for a film, but this time it was Jessica Simpson who played Daisy.
Catherine Bach Then
Catherine Bach Now
Catherine Bach’s acting career took a turn for the worse during Dukes of Hazzard. The part had likely typecast her, excluding her from being cast in other shows or films. Another explanation is that she achieved all of her professional aspirations as an actress in the film business and desired to devote more time to her two children. Since then, she’s primarily acted in minor roles. She has, though, introduced her jewelry line with the Debenhams chain of stores in the United Kingdom. Peter Lopez, her ex-husband, committed suicide by shooting himself in April 2010.
Catherine Bach Now
Jocelyn Wildenstein Then
Jocelyn Wildenstein was a stunning young woman who was a New York City socialite at the height of her career. She was a world-traveling young woman who honed her marksmanship and piloting skills along the way. She’s also notorious for blowing money like it’s water. She spent over $60,000 a year on personal phone calls, and her wine cost was more than half a million dollars a year! Her future spouse, Alec Wildenstein, a wealthy art dealer with an aristocratic heritage, was introduced to her by Adnan Khashoggi, a Saudi arms dealer.
Jocelyn Wildenstein Then
Jocelyn Wildenstein Now
Jocelyn, I’m so sorry. It’s not uncommon for a woman to seek the help of a cosmetic surgeon as her appearance begins to deteriorate. That was not the case with Jocelyn Wildenstein, as you can see. She grew addicted to cosmetic surgery, and she gradually transformed into a beautiful young lady into something almost akin to Frankenstein’s monster. She’s sometimes recognized as “Catwoman” in the New York social scene, and she may be the poster girl on why cosmetic surgery isn’t necessarily the best option. According to a Vanity Fair interview, she claims the lynx has a beautiful vision. Friends claim she has one of the wild cats as a companion because this is her ultimate cosmetic goal/obsession.
Jocelyn Wildenstein Now
Boy George Then
Boy George was born George Alan O’Dowd, and he was the frontman for Culture Club, one of the largest music groups of the 1980s. George stuck out as a London club kid noted for his quirky style and crazy attitudes until he was spotted by the Sex Pistol’s boss Malcolm McLaren. Boy George’s distinctive appearance helped sell millions of copies of songs like “Karma Chameleon,” “Time (Clock of the Heart),” and “Do You Just Want to Hurt Me.” His vivid androgynous style of clothing and appearance made him instantly identifiable to millions of fans all over the world.
Boy George Then
Boy George Now
Unfortunately for Boy George, life did not go smoothly after the band broke up for a long time. Culture Club’s demise was caused by a sexual partnership between George and Jon Moss, the band’s guitarist, drug use, and the unfortunate death of their keyboard player due to an overdose, as he subsequently disclosed in interviews. As a result of imprisoning and then sexually raping a rent child, he received a lengthy jail term. Boy George has completed his sentence and is now attempting a comeback. He writes novels, crafts clothing, is a photographer and continues to compose music. His most recent artistic work has earned praise for its sincerity and modesty.
Boy George Now
Cybill Shepherd Then
Cybill Shepherd’s appearance as Maddie Hayes in TV’s Moonlighting in the 1980s brought her to the media’s attention. Still, it was her role in Taxi Driver opposite Robert DeNiro that cemented their friendship. Maddie Hayes and Bruce Willis’ on-screen chemistry was iconic, and the series was a worldwide success for four years. Interesting fact: Shepherd Bruce Willis contemplated having an affair when they worked together but opted against it to prevent adding to the show’s already high level of tension.
Cybill Shepherd Then
Cybill Shepherd Now
Though Shepherd is beautiful for her generation, her days of performing the lead position solely based on sex appeal are long gone. She’s also around as an actress, having appeared in shows including The L Word and Psych, as well as Criminal Minds and The Client List. Her most recent involvement was in the 2015 output Do You Believe?, which was strongly Christian-influenced. Her character was a grieving mother who had lost her baby. Shepherd has three children in actual life.
Cybill Shepherd Now
Caitlin Jenner Then
Caitlin Jenner was one of the many family members on the famous reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians only a few years ago. The film, which starred Kris Jenner, his siblings Kim, Kourtney, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie Jenner and a slew of friends and love interests, had a massive following throughout its run. She’s also been on several other tv series, including The Weakest Link, Skating for Celebrities, and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! I’m trying to get out of here.
Caitlin Jenner Then
Caitlyn Jenner Now
Caitlin Jenner was not pleased with her appearance on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here. She felt dowdy without her daily schedule, according to a source close to the reality TV personality. Despite this, she seems at ease with her own skin these days. In an interview with the Daily Mail, she said, “It takes a little longer to get up, but now I can be myself every day.” That is what we can all strive for!
Caitlyn Jenner Now
Bruce Willis Then
Bruce Willis, Cybill Shepherd’s Moonlighting co-star, started his acting career in off-Broadway productions. He is most recognized for his portrayal of John McClane, a policeman turned vigilante, in the Die Hard film series. He also appeared in The Sixth Sense, Sin City, Color of Night, Pulp Fiction, Looper, and 12 Monkeys. Willis’ work has been remarkably fruitful, including roles in over 60 films and several television programs. In 1987, he married Demi Moore, but the couple divorced in 2000. And after they divorced, they stayed partners and had three girls together.
Bruce Willis Then
Bruce Willis Now
Bruce’s career has shown no signs of slowing down. In 2015, he returned to the stage in a production of Stephen King’s Misery. Before that, he reprised his most well-known appearance in the 2013 film Good Day to Die Hard. However, the film is remembered as a critical and financial flop. In recent years, he has been outspoken in his advocacy for the US military in Iraq and Israel. Willis is married to Emma Heming, a model, and the couple has two children together. In North America, he was the eighth highest-grossing performer in 2010. It’s not bad.
Bruce Willis Now
Kelly Le Brock Then
Kelly Le Brock was an instant success from the moment she first appeared on television. In The Woman in Red, she played opposite Gene Wilder, a comedy/actor legend. It was only expected that the model’s daughter would be a natural in front of the camera! She later went on to star in the 1985 mega-hit teen sitcom Weird Science. She played a fantasy woman produced in a science experiment by two teenagers. Despite the film’s inherent misogyny, her role as a confident woman transforms the boys into men through a sequence of difficult lessons.
Kelly Le Brock Then
Kelly Le Brock Now
Kelly’s life has had its ups and downs, and her finest acting years seem to be behind her. She married actor Steven Seagal in 1986, but the couple divorced in 1996. During their marriage, they had three children together. Since then, she’s been involved in the homeopathic community and becomes one of the first women in the United States to possess a hyperbaric chamber, which is used to cure a host of illnesses such as diseases and blood bubbles. Today, LeBrock spends most of his time as a spokeswoman for a children’s cancer organization.
Kelly Le Brock Now
Chuck Norris Then
Because of his fame as a martial artist, Chuck Norris has been immortalized in a never-ending string of jokes on how tough he is. Any other well-known memes are: “Chuck Norris is not going to die of a heart attack. His spirit isn’t quite as stupid as his mind in attacking him.” He was still a significant heartthrob while he was younger, and his good looks earned him a large following (as well as for his acting and martial arts skills). One of his most notable appearances was as the protagonist of Walker, Texas Ranger. In the film Way of the Dragon, he co-starred with Bruce Lee.
Chuck Norris Then
Chuck Norris Now
The famed Chuck Norris has hardened rather than aged. His acting career is still going well, with recent appearances in The Expendables franchise. He’s a devout Christian as well. He’s written several books on Christianity. Chuck is also a Republican who has worked for Mike Huckabee as the Republican presidential candidate and devotes a significant amount of his time (and money) to Republican causes. He also has a personal health column on WordNetDaily, as well as several fitness-related infomercials. Norris is famous on social media and regularly updates his followers on his family.
Chuck Norris Now
Whoopi Goldberg Then
It’s probably fair to conclude Whoopi Goldberg has never been a sex icon. More than her beauty, she’s known for her incredible acting and boisterous attitude. She has earned 13 Emmy nominations and has collected at least one Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award. In 1985, she received critical praise for her performance in The Color Purple, a film about an oppressed black woman in the Deep South. But it was her appearance in Ghost in the 1990s that cemented her spot in the public eye. She appeared in a slew of successful films and television shows, including Sister Act, Hollywood Squares, and The View.
Whoopi Goldberg Then
Whoopi Goldberg Now
After the Ghost days, Whoopi has undoubtedly added a few pounds. Many of this has been credited in the media to her love of a good joint, contributing to the munchies on occasion. Plus, it’s just normal for most of us to accumulate weight over time. Though Whoopi still performs on occasion, she now devotes most of her attention to LGBT advocacy. Her “Give a Damn” movement aims to persuade homosexual, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals to join forces alongside heterosexual people to pursue equal and fair lives. That’s incredible. Thank you for what you do, Whoopi!
Whoopi Goldberg Now
Wayne Newton Then
For decades, singer Wayne Newton has become one of the most well-known entertainers to emerge from Las Vegas, Nevada. He was a hot commodity in his prime, with songs like “Daddy, Don’t You Walk Too Far” and “Years” charting in the Billboard Top 100. “Danke Schoen,” which featured prominently in the classic 1980s film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, is perhaps his most famous hit. Much of the top-name entertainers of the 1970s backed Wayne Newton throughout his career, including Lucille Ball, George Burns, Bobby Darin, Jack Benny, and Danny Thomas.
Wayne Newton Then
Wayne Newton Now
Wayne Newton’s personal life hasn’t been ideal, and in addition to his ever-expanding waistline, his assets have been a total disaster. He was investigated over different ways of financial mismanagement for most of the 2000s, and it all came to a head in 2012 when he filed bankruptcy. The worst is done from Wayne’s view, and he’s back in his old home, having agreed with his creditors. Things aren’t just doom and gloom, though. Mr. Entertainment is actively interested in charities that collect money for diabetes treatment. That’s fantastic!
Wayne Newton Now
Linda Evans Then
Linda Evans started her acting career as Audra Barkley in the Western television series The Big Valley. It isn’t, though, what she is well known for. Her appearance as Krystle Carrington in the 1980s’ smash hit mega soap Dynasty catapulted her to success. She portrayed Krystle for almost eight years, and the program drew in over 20 million viewers in the United States and millions more across the world. Linda Evans has been nominated for the Golden Globes five times in a row for her performance. Evans also captured the British television series Hell’s Kitchen in 2009 after appearing on the show’s revival episode, Dynasty: Catfights and Caviar.
Linda Evans Then
Linda Evans Now
Those pesky plastic surgeons are at it again, cracking hearts. Where can their patients learn to mature gracefully (and naturally) without resorting to the knife? Playboy magazine published Linda Evans’ stunning good looks in 1971. So it was only expected that when those looks started to disappear, Linda looked for a fast fix. She enlisted the support of a medical expert. Unfortunately, as in any beauty procedure, there’s a chance that things won’t go exactly as planned. They didn’t do that for Linda, too. She’s been on TV on many occasions to open up about the botched surgery.
Linda Evans Now
John Travolta Then
John Travolta got his start on the iconic television series Welcome Back, Kotter. Though, Travolta’s success owes a great deal to the 1970s mega-hits Saturday Night Fever and Grease. He was young, charismatic, and had a unique ability to dance. Millions of young girls had his posters on their walls. He appeared to have it all figured out. In the 1980s, his acting career suffered a significant hit as it seemed he couldn’t manage to secure a top part. Even when he did, the films sank without a trace. Fortunately, Travolta’s positions began to reappear.
John Travolta Then
John Travolta Now
Some claim he’s transformed from a heartthrob to a hunk of lust. Although John’s career was revived in the 1990s, due to his inclusion in 1994’s Pulp Fiction, things have not gone well for him in the appearance department. He seems to have gained weight and lost hair, as we all do from time to time. John has been roundly chastised for his presence in the newspapers, demonstrating that equality works in both directions. He’s even been attempting to disprove that he had a romantic involvement with Douglas Gotterba, his former pilot.
John Travolta Now
Goldie Hawn Then
Goldie Hawn earned the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her first leading part in Cactus Flower in 1969. As Walter Matthau’s suicidal fiancee, it was a difficult task. However, she is well known for her comic roles, and her most prominent role is that of Private Benjamin, for which she received an Academy Award. Her perfect blonde hair and good appearance propelled her onto a multi-decade career. Butterflies Are Free, Housesitter, Shampoo, Death Becomes Her, and First Wives Club are among Hawn’s other film credits. Kurt Russell, a fellow filmmaker, has been her husband since 1983.
Goldie Hawn Then
Goldie Hawn Now
Let’s be honest: Goldie Hawn is now in her 70s, and it’s pretty challenging to be a complete fox in that era. Kurt Russell, with whom she has been in a relationship since 1983, is now her boyfriend. The Hawn Foundation, which focuses on improving academic achievement for children, now takes up the majority of her time. The foundation focuses a lot of its efforts on a research analysis that will show how children can demonstrate better academic learning practices. Kate Hudson, Hawn’s popular and beautiful daughter, looks a lot like her mother. As she gets older, the younger blonde starlet would undoubtedly seek help from her mum!
Goldie Hawn Now
Edward Furlong Then
Edward Furlong, on the other hand, shone brilliantly from the outset. He won Teen Idol and went on to appear in Terminator 2: Judgement Day as John Connor. In American History X, his performance as a skinhead was lauded for its authenticity and criticized its terrifying violence. Furlong also appeared in Pet Sematary 2, American Heart, Detroit Rock City, The Green Hornet, and A Home of Our Own over the years. His acting career lasted until the 1990s, with varying degrees of popularity (including another Terminator film), and he also recorded a song, Hold on Tight, which was only released in Japan.
Edward Furlong Then
Edward Furlong Now
Edward’s life finally spiraled out of balance. His reputation started to fall apart as a result of severe drug and alcohol issues that rapidly worsened. Edward was eventually admitted to treatment in October of 2000. He said, “I was a drug user who used opium and cocaine. It was very frightening. I haven’t spoken about [partying] in a long time. Playing, clubbing, and doping coke seem to be lonely now. Taking heavy drugs gives me insomnia.” His previous drug addiction problems are clearly seen on his face.
Edward Furlong Now
Janice Dickinson Then
And there was Janice Dickinson, who might have been the first supermodel, but there are other respectable candidates. Dickinson’s allegations are backed up by her book, No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World’s First Supermodel. What is certain is that she was unquestionably one of the most attractive women of her time. During the 1970s and 1980s, she was a worldwide fashion sensation. In 2003, she was cast as a judge on America’s Top Model, so who else to offer guidance to aspiring models than Janice Dickinson?
Janice Dickinson Then
Janice Dickinson Now
Despite running her own modeling business and working on television, Janice had to be pining for her childhood because she was allowed to enter the feared plastic surgeon’s knife. Unfortunately, Janice, like so many other actors, found this to be a terrible decision. She’s not identifiable as the lady she used to be because of the operation. Her next television performance came on the program Botched!, on which the show’s specialists worked to undo the severe damage to her appearance. In March of 2016, Dickinson was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is coping fine with her medications as of this writing.
Janice Dickinson Now
Johnny Depp Then
Johnny Depp made his film debut in Oliver Stone’s Platoon, but it was just a minor supporting role. With the publication of Edward Scissorhands, which is mainly regarded as a dark romance, he got his first break. His youthful good looks, coupled with the performance of his first lead, guaranteed that he’d have plenty of opportunities to play in the future. His career path has been nothing but optimistic, and he is now one of the world’s most recognizable figures. Depp has dated several of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Winona Ryder of Stranger Things and supermodel Kate Moss. With his former wife, French model Vanessa Paradis, he has two twins.
Johnny Depp Then
Johnny Depp Now
He might be a big celebrity, but there’s nothing someone can do to prevent the effects of aging and drinking on their appearance. Nowadays, Depp’s popularity is built on his box office performance and acting abilities rather than his appearance. This didn’t deter him from being named the highest-paid actor in 2012 and being inducted into the Disney Hall of Fame in 2015. His films have grossed over $7 billion worldwide. Depp’s legal troubles could be as well-known as his once-beautiful face these days. Fans of the former heartthrob were shocked by his recent (and very public) divorce from actress Amber Heard.
Johnny Depp Now
Elsa Patton Then
Elsa Then, as a star of The Real Housewives of Miami, Patton became known as “Mama Elsa.” Her involvement was so well received that she was given her own spin-off series, Havana Elsa, which aired on the Bravo network in-between seasons of The Real Housewives of Miami. The spin-off was unfortunately canceled after “Mama Elsa” slipped and wounded herself. She is said to have sustained a brain injury after a fall at her house. Mama Elsa was once an extremely handsome lady, as shown by this photograph. Let’s have a peek at her now…
Elsa Patton Then
Elsa Patton Now
Yet again, it’s those cosmetic doctors, and a pretty lady attempting to maintain her good looks is maimed. Marysol, her daughter, claims that her mother’s eyelid surgery in the 1980s “gave her hematomas on her eyes for like three years.” For everyone, that’s an exorbitant sum to pay for plastic surgery, and “Mama Elsa” is more known for her post-surgery condition than her heyday of beauty. Marysol claims that her mother was almost unrecognizable at that period and during her subsequent treatments, but she doesn’t remember Elsa getting a facelift at the time.
Elsa Patton Now
Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart Then
Then Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart, the 18th Duchess of Alba, might well be the wealthiest person on the list. She was a billionaire credited with investing as much in her wedding as the Queen of England did. She was also a beautiful lady known for her scandals and intimate relationships with many men in her life. She also has the reputation of becoming the world’s most named aristocrat, boasting over 40 names. She was inducted into the Vanity Fair International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 2011.

Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart was constantly churning around the men at the end of her life (at least according to the Spanish controversies sheets), but we suspect they were involved in anything more than her good looks by then. However, it did not succeed. Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart’s final lover (they were married from 2011 until her death) didn’t get a penny in her will, and he thought he was going to walk away rich. Fitz-James Stuart was also the father of six children and the grandfather of nine grandchildren.

Suzanne Somers Then
Suzanne Somers rose to prominence after starring Chrissy Snow in Three’s Company; an American television series focused on the British series Man About the House. Surprisingly, the British series lasted just six seasons while the American version lasted eight. The film, which she co-starred in with Joyce DeWitt and Jack Ritter, is still a fan favorite today. She portrayed Carol Lambert in Step-by-Step, cementing her reputation as one of America’s favorite sitcom stars, and her sultry good looks helped. Step-by-Step was on the air until 1998.

Suzanne Somers Now
Suzanne Somers is always looking fantastic today, maybe even too good for a woman who is now 70 years old. She claims she hasn’t had some cosmetic surgeries, but it’s almost unlikely that she hasn’t had any work performed. She is, nonetheless, a strong supporter of holistic and complementary medicine, and she likely discovered the fountain of youth when reading one of her books on the subject. Somers is a two-time cancer patient who chose to go the holistic path following her first cycle of grueling procedures.

Nicole Eggert Then
Nicole Eggert’s beauty was evident from a young age when she earned a place in the Miss Universe petite division when she was just five years old. Her adult appearance was brought to the eyes of the viewing audience by her appearance as Summer Quinn in the lifeguard drama Baywatch. She was also set to star in a Baywatch spin-off movie, but it was canceled before filming. Nicole rose to prominence before Baywatch as Jamie Powell on the hit sitcom Charles In Charge, where she co-starred with teen star Scott Baio.

Nicole’s star started to diminish along with her appearance after Baywatch ended. She’s been on a lot of reality TV over the past decade, and she even came in second place on Splash, a celebrity diving program. She was said to have been hurt when filming the episode, but she denies it. Nicole has since been in several Lifetime movies. Nicole also works as the owner and operator of an ice-cream semi, rare for a recent star. Scoops are the name of her business, and she is the one who drives the vehicle! It’s a family-run company, according to Nicole.

Lil’ Kim Then
Lil’ Kim (born Kimberly Denise Jones) was born and raised in Brooklyn and began rapping while still in her youth. In 1995, she teamed up with the late Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher Wallace) and his party Junior M.A.F.I.A. for her big break. At that point, she was just 19 years old. Kim and Biggie started dating and dated on and off until Biggie’s death in 1997. “Hard Core,” Lil’ Kim’s debut album, was released in 1996. Producers included their #1 songs, and the album was certified double platinum. Kim’s following two records both went platinum, establishing her as a true powerhouse.

Kim Now
The infamous “It’s like the more wealth we come through, the more issues we see,” B.I.G. wrote in a song named Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems. When she was catapulted into fame and the eventual mistakes that come with it, the line seems to have stayed true for Kim. In the years after she emerges as an artist, she’s had many legal and financial problems. Kim’s outrageous cosmetic surgery on her face is one of the most shocking modifications she has undergone. She doesn’t look much like the Lil’ Kim we all adored in the 1990s.

Donatella Versace Then
The Versace Group’s lead designer and Vice President is then Italian luxury star Donatella Versace. Donatella has a distinctive sense of beauty that has earned her considerable recognition and popularity in the modeling industry. She is known for her signature long blonde hair and dark tanned skin. A-list celebrities, including Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson, Blake Lively, Angelina Jolie, Katy Perry, Cheryl Cole, January Jones, wear Versace clothes. Donatella is seen with her brother, the late fashion designer Gianni Versace, at a party in the early 1990s in this throwback shot.

Donatella Now
Donatella Versace has undergone several cosmetic surgeries since the previous picture was taken, and others believe she has gone too far with them. She’s been dubbed a “human waxwork” by several snarky commenters. She seems to have had a failed facelift as well as heavy lip injections, according to several top cosmetic surgeons who have reviewed photographs of her everyday look. Her blonde brows aren’t exactly adding to the overall impact. She’s never been one to accept the natural look so that she could be pleased with the result. She’s confessed to using Botox in the past, but she usually attributes her skin and hair look to “tons of cream.”

Courteney Cox Then
Courteney Cox rose to fame after starring in Bruce Springsteen’s music video for “Dancing in the Dark.” As Monica Gellar on the megahit television series Friends, the audience grew to love her. Jennifer Aniston, her co-star, remains a near associate, and the two are frequently seen out and about together all these years since. Cox went on to appear in the television shows Cougartown and Dirt and the Scream movie franchise. From 1999 until they split in 2013, she was committed to fellow actor David Arquette. Coco is the couple’s baby.

Courteney Cox also starred on an episode of Bear Grylls’ Running Wild, and she was very open regarding the cosmetic surgery she’s undergone to keep her youthful beauty. She acknowledged that she had gone too fast, adding, “I’ve made mistakes that I’m sorry for, and thankfully, they’re mistakes that fade away. So, that’s fine, but that hasn’t always been my finest appearance. So I’ve adopted a different motto: ‘Just let it be.'” Grylls urged her to refrain from all more surgical treatments, stating that her natural beauty is stunning.

Joan Van Ark Then

Van Ark has starred in Love Boat, The Six Million Dollar Guy, Bonanza, and M*A*S*H, among other series. She won the Soap Opera Digest Award twice for her role as Valene Ewing.

Joan Van Ark Now
Joan Van Ark’s face has shocked viewers in recent appearances. While she is now in her 70s, it is painfully evident that she has had extensive work done on her once beautiful features. In an interview with the National Enquirer, plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn, who has not treated the celebrity, expressed his thoughts on Van Ark’s appearance: “I believe she’s undergone at least one, if not two, facelifts, resulting in a tight neckline and jawline. Her forehead is wrinkle-free and flat, perhaps as a result of a brow raise and Botox.”

Geena Davis Then
In the 1980s, Geena Davis was a trendy commodity. When Beetlejuice and then Thelma and Louise launched her to box-office superstardom, it looked that she could do no wrong. In the 1990s, you couldn’t turn around in a supermarket without seeing Davis and her ex-husband Jeff Goldblum on the cover of a magazine. The Fly, their reboot of the horror classic, is revolting. The only real blemish on the ointment was Renny Harlin’s flop Cutthroat Island, guided by her now ex-husband. They created the film precisely to help Geena establish her career. It turned out to be a failure, and she was almost sunk as a result.

Geena Davis Now
Geena is still looking great these days, particularly considering she’s in her sixties! The popular actress is seen here promoting the Women’s Sports Foundation’s fight for gender empowerment in sports. Though she always does some performing, Geena now devotes the majority of her time to advocacy. She’s even established her center to study gender stereotypes in the media. She was one of 300 candidates for a place on the 1999 women’s Olympic archery squad. When Disney sells the Hunger Games franchise, she might portray an older Katniss Everdeen.
Geena Davis Now
Keith Richards
Keith Richards is world-famous for being the lead guitarist of The Rolling Stones. Back in his prime time, heavy partying and drug possession, mostly between the late 60s until the early 80s. In recent years, he has also been very open about his addiction to drugs and how some of the worst experiences he went through were because of it. The English musician, singer, and songwriter is currently 77 years old, but if you ask us, he definitely hasn’t aged too well.
Keith Richards
Tara Reid
American actress, Tara Reid is most famous for playing in various films such as American Pie, Cruel Intentions, Van Wilder, and The Hungover Games. Without a doubt back in her prime time, she was absolutely stunning. However, when it comes to aging gracefully, 45-year-old Reid may have not succeeded. Since her surgeries, Tara has lost a lot of weight but we truly think she is looking too thin lately. Sadly, she has also been a victim of several botched plastic surgeries.
Tara Reid
Amanda Bynes
Recently, fans were completely shocked to see what the once lovely Amanda Bynes is looking like these days. The former child star was not only beautiful but had a figure that so many were so envious of. Sadly, after Amanda Bynes went through a series of drug issues and severe mental illness, she really isn’t looking her best. Bynes has been spotted with bad hair and quite frumpy. This is definitely not the star we know and love. The 35-year-old has really let herself go and we only hope things get so much better. After all, she isn’t that old!
Amanda Bynes
Lindsay Lohan
Another child star we are devasted to see not aging so well is Lindsay Lohan. The 34-year-old actress is starred in many amazing films such as The Parent Trap, Mean Girls, Freaky Friday, Just My Luck, and Herbie. Over the past several years we have seen Lohan in the headlines in connection with parties, smoking, and a lot of drinking, Of course, we understand she’s living her life and trying to have fun, but it seems as though that lifestyle is finally catching up with her. We can only hope that we will soon see the return of this amazing actress. Rumors of a Mean Girls reunion are swirling and we would love to see Lindsay on the big screen very soon!
Lindsay Lohan
Matthew Perry
Matthew Perry is best known for playing the role of Chandler Bing on the TV sitcom Friends. However, the actor also appeared in other projects such as the films, 17 Again, Fools Rush In and, The Whole Ten Yards. Since rising to fame, Perry has had a lot of relationships with many famous celebs but sadly hasn’t managed to settle down just yet. Sadly, rumors were confirmed that he has been battling addiction for many years. Perry was also dealing with weight fluctuations due to pancreatitis. This may be one of the reasons why he hasn’t aged too well.
Matthew Perry
Lisa Rinna
This next famous star has clearly had a lot of work done to her body. Whether or not she sees these surgeries as a success, well, that’s completely up to her to decide. American actress, Lisa Rinna is best known for her role as Billie Reed on the world-famous soap opera, Days of Our Lives. However, the 57-year-old has most recently appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which has been on air since 2010. Rinna has acknowledged having plastic surgery as well as Botox and Juvéderm injections. Although she remains fond of Botox, she has said that using Juvéderm was a huge mistake.
Lisa Rinna
The Olsen Twins
People who grew up in the 90s definitely loved the Olsen Twins. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are former child actresses who made their debut as infants playing Michelle Turner on the TV series, Full House. It was as though the duo became an overnight sensation…by the age of 6, the twins were starring together in various films and TV shows. Although they wanted the world to view them as two different individuals, it seemed as though the duo didn’t do anything without the other. In the mid-2000s, it was released that Mary-Kate had been dealing with many health issues, including anorexia. While on the other hand, rumors had begun circulating that Asjely had been involved in a drug scandal. It’s very clear that these personal difficulties took a huge toll on the Olsen Twins.
The Olsen Twins
Victoria Beckham
There is no doubt about it, the former Spice Girl is absolutely gorgeous. Victoria Beckham rose to fame during her time as Posh Spice in the British pop group which was formed back in the mid-1990s. The singer then married the heartthrob, David Beckham. The pair quickly became the hottest couple in England. However, soon after she and Beckham tied the knot slowly started with Botox and eventually also went under the knife. Many years later, she admitted regretting her breast implants but also said that plastic surgery usually helps people feel a lot better about themselves.
Victoria Beckham
Priscilla Presley
Priscilla Presley is probably most famous for being married to the “King of Rock and Roll”, Elvis Presley. However, the actress starred in many great films and TV series such as Naked Guns, Dallas and Spin City. Sadly, Presley fell victim to a botched Botox surgery, but it turned out to be worse than normal. The 75-year-old explained in an interview that this is what caused all the lumps and partial paralysis in her face. This is probably also the reason she looks so much older than she actually is.
Priscilla Presley
Cher
From a young age, Cher has been magnificently beautiful. Many of us and her fans secretly wished she didn’t go through so much plastic surgery as we would have liked to see how she aged naturally. However, the 75-year-old singer has never been shy about discussing plastic surgery—but she won’t admit to work she hasn’t done. She also explained that it’s nobody’s business what she does with her body. Honestly, we don’t think she looks so good at the moment. But it seems as though she’s not going to stop with all the medical procedures.
Cher
Macaulay Culkin
How can anyone forget the cute kid from Home Alone? Unfortunately, even though Macaulay Culkin is considered to be one of the most successful child actors from the 90s, he looks like nothing he did when he was younger. Culkin is also grown up now and hasn’t been doing much acting, instead, he has been performing in a pizza-themed parody band called “The Pizza Underground.” Not too long ago he was also arrested for substance abuse. Believe it or not, but Macaulay Culkin is indeed 40 years old… let’s hope the new father will age a lot more gracefully from here on out.
Macaulay Culkin
Ed O’Neill
We all fell in love with Ed O’Neill back in the last 1980s when he played Al Bundy on the sitcom Married… with Children. For this, he was even nominated for two Golden Globes. More recently the actor stars on the award-winning sitcom Modern Family. Despite the fact, the O’Neill tries to look after his health, eats healthy, and even performs Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the 75-year-old has not aged so gracefully. However, we still love him and adore his comedy.
Ed O’Neill
David Hasselhoff
Of course, we had to add this hunk to our list. Nicknamed ‘The Hoff’, actor David Hasselhoff set Guinness World Record as the most-watched man on TV. He first gained recognition on The Young and The Restless, but later fans couldn’t get enough of him on the brilliant Knight Rider and Baywatch. Today the 68-year-old is still doing some work in Hollywood. But the big, debatable question is whether The Hof is getting better with age? Honestly, we think his youth was when he blesses the world.
David Hasselhoff
Dave Coulier
If you don’t recognize him, don’t worry we’re here to remind you. Dave Coulier is most notorious for his role on Full House. Later on, his voice was used both in Ghostbusters and Muppet Babies. Just like many other celebs we’ve mentioned, Coulier has gone through many hardships during his life. And just like us, trials and tribulations take a toll on our health and appearance. This is why it is no surprise to see that Dave Coulier’s age truly shows.
Dave Coulier
Ellen DeGeneres
So people love her and others loath her. Whatever your thoughts and feelings about the comedian and TV host, Ellen DeGeneres has truly done amazing things for the world. The 63-year-old, not only hosts her own talk show but she is a huge advocate for animal rights, veganism, and of course the LGBTQ community. During her career, she has won 30 Emmys, 20 People’s Choice Awards as well as numerous other awards for her work and charitable efforts.
