Celebrities Who Have Aged Terribly
With rigorous grooming regimes and Instagram filters, it seems that some celebrities are on a constant mission to stay forever young - and succeeding.
But whether it's through botched surgeries, poor lifestyles, stressful career lows or shattered relationships, certain stars have taken a quicker turn for the worst than their contemporaries.
From child actors that swiftly deteriorated in the lime light or golden Hollywood stars that have greyed with time, FEMAIL rounds up the celebrities that have aged terribly
#1 Lindsay Lohan
Due to alcohol and drugs she has aged herself dramatically and sadly because she lives an unstable lifestyle it has been very difficult for her to find work in the entertainment industry.
#2 Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp shot to stardom as a teen idol due to his dark and mysterious looks and acting versatility, which scored him roles in films such as Edward Scissorhands and A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Having dated a slew of beautiful it-girls such as Winona Ryder and Kate Moss, before having two children with long-term partner Vanessa Paradis, he is now married to actress Amber Heard.
It seems the series of high-profile relationships and a long-term smoking habit has taken its toll on the actor, as he now exhibits duller skin and lacklustre hair.
#3 Kate Moss
Kate Moss was, and still remains, one of the most famous supermodels in the world, rising to fame in the Nineties after she was discovered at the tender age of 14.
She ushered in the supermodel movement 'heroin chic', and popularised waif models at the time.
However, 20 years of drinks and partying have seemingly aged the supermodel, who only celebrated her 41st birthday in January - but exhibits fine lines and dull skin.
#4 Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt made his breakout role as a denim-sporting, cowboy hat-toting, golden-skinned bandit in Thelma & Louise in 1991, and quickly gained celebrity for his dashing looks.
The actor has since been regularly cited as one of the world's most attractive men.
But it seems like the strain of a hectic life has taken its toll on Pitt's looks, and the actor looks more haggard and greyed by the day.
#5 Britney Spears
At one point, Britney Spears was the apple of the eye of every Noughties guy and gal, sporting the widely-popular all-American aesthetic and busting out hit tunes such as Baby One More Time and Oops! I Did It Again.
But it seems the fame and attention came too early, and the star suffered an apparent breakdown in 2007, shaving her head completely bald and beating a paparazzi's car with an umbrella.
Since then, she has slowly tried to bring back her career, but her weighty personal issues have inevitably taken their toll on her appearance.
#6 Macaulay Culkin
He was so adorable in the Home Alone movies.
Now in his thirties, he’s grown a rugged beard and become extremely thin.
When he checks in for auditions the casting people must look at him and think ‘He was such a cute kid. What happened?’
#7 Renée Zellweger
The American actress rocketed to fame as our favourite 'verbally incontinent spinster who drinks like a fish, smokes like a chimney, and dresses like her mother': Bridget Jones.
The 45-year-old's protrayal of the lovable and relatable character saw Zellweger's popularity spike and she landed additional hit roles in films such as Chicago and Cold Mountain.
However, it seems the pressure to maintain a youthful complexion took its toll and Zellweger was subject to some controversy late last year, when she stepped out sporting a distinctively tauter but unrecognisable face.
#8 Leonardo DiCaprio
With more than 30 years in the acting industry, Leonardo DiCaprio swiftly sealed his position as Hollywood hearthrob after roles in films such as Titanic and Romeo + Juliet.
Having for the duration of his career remained a bachelor and enjoyed a regularly publicised party-boy lifestyle, it's no wonder that the actor's once-revered looks have begun to fade.
The star is regularly seen out chain-smoking, sporting a hefty beard and a pot belly.
#9 Mischa Barton
Rocketing to stardom as troubled all-American girl Marissa Cooper in The O.C., Barton was the envy of every teen due to her flawless looks.
After The O.C., the actress struggled with securing film roles, and battled with yo-yo dieting, displaying dramatically fluctuating weight losses and gains.
The star also had run-ins with the law and was charged with a DUI and possession of drugs in 2007.
It seems as if Barton's hectic lifestyle and stress has started to catch up with her, with her face displaying signs of accelerated ageing.
#10 Russell Crowe
Russell Crowe stated he had been smoking more than 60 cigarettes a day for 36 years of his life and I think it has finally caught up to him.
#11 Pamela Anderson
Baywatch made Pamela Anderson the sexiest thing on television in the 90s.
That red swimsuit shot her to fame however over the following years the effects of stress and plastic surgeries gone wrong have ravaged her.
#12 Val Kilmer
Action-movies stars are made or broken by their good looks, unlike comedy stars who can skate by on a few punchlines.
Val Kilmer looked great in Top Gun and Tombstone but he’s gained quite a bit of weight since then.
His face looks pudgy now and nobody knows what is going on with his hair.
#13 Mickey Rourke
Mickey was a leading man in film and an amateur boxer until 2014 – If he can switch up his hairstyle and get a gym membership I think he will be fine.
#14 Janet Jackson
Where is the old Janet with the style and sexiness?
#15 Mel Gibson
There was a time when women the world over would have sold their husbands to slavery for a night with Mel Gibson.
He’s lucky to have managed to keep his hair but as his looks faded while he piled on the years he made the right decision to take his career to the other side of the cameras.
#16 Ozzy Osbourne
Just look at that angelic face of the young Ozzy. It’s hard to believe that this is the same guy in both pictures. From every woman’s fantasy this man turned into every child’s worst nightmare!
#17 Nick Nolte
Nick used to be hot throughout the 1980s, but it’s pretty sad to see what’s become of him.
#18 Goldie Hawn
Goldie’s innocent looks made her a silver-screen goddess.
The years have not been kind though as she is now riddled with age spots and has a bit of a tired look to her.
We applaud her for choosing not to have surgery but we’ll always miss the good looks of her youth.
#19 Jessica Simpson
The sexy pop star turned face of Weight Watchers let go of herself a long time ago.
#20 Melanie Griffith
Needless to say, the women on the photo look like two completely different people. Melanie Griffith, one of the most charming looks on Hollywood is among the living testimonies of just what taking aging a bit too seriously can mean at the end. After a series of collagen injections, Botox, and plastic surgery, here is what she is left looking like.
#21 Kirstie Alley
In recent years, we get to see more of Kirstie in reality shows revolving around her life, and when we say more – we mean it.
#22 Edward Furlong
This actor has derailed his acting career and has been in and out of rehab for alcoholism and drug addiction.
#23 Janice Dickinson
Models never look better than they did while they were on the runway.
Janice Dickinson’s exotic looks drew us in and held us close but the success that she enjoyed led her to live a life of exuberance.
She tried to keep herself looking good with surgery but it left her face looking pulled tight and tired.
#24 Bruce Jenner
There needs to be an investigation into what the Kardashian women are doing to their men.
Bruce Jenner made for an attractive athlete when he was in his prime but he lost that charm when he entered his sixties.
Maybe he’ll look better as a 60 year old woman than as a sixty year old man.
#25 Jennifer Lopez
J-Lo is not that sexy good looking singer anymore.
