Aging like fine wine: “young” Hollywood couples
Let's find out what helps Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, as well as other celebrities, stay in shape.
Maturity, it would seem, comes to everyone, but for some it comes later. Like, for example, for Hollywood couples. With Botox and tweaking treatments, green smoothies and facial massages, looking good has become much easier than before. From Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban to Beyoncé and Jay-Z, let's find out which other Tinseltown denizens are youthful on a double scale.
Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz
The 56-year-old James Bond actor and his 54-year-old wife prove that age is just a number. The difference between these photographs is almost 20 years.
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones
The actors have been married for 23 years. Moreover, they were born on the same day - September 25, with a difference of 25 years. Last year, 54-year-old Catherine and 79-year-old Michael attended the Cannes Film Festival and looked, as always, spectacular on the red carpet. One of the photos presented is dated 1999, when they announced their engagement.
Beyonce and Jay-Z
It seems that age has no power over one of the most powerful couples in the world of show business. At different times, the relationship between Beyoncé and Jay-Z experienced ups and downs, but now their union is stronger than ever. They have three children: 6-year-old twins Rumi and Sir, and 12-year-old Blue Ivy, who recently performed with her mother on stage during her Renaissance tour.
Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith
The couple first appeared on the red carpet in 1997 at the premiere of the film “Tomorrow Never Dies.” Since then, they have raised two sons together. A few years ago, Keely Shay faced criticism on social media about her weight. The reaction from her famous husband was immediate. Pierce said it was inappropriate to discuss people's appearance and said he loved his wife in all shapes and sizes.
Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey
At first glance, it seems that not much time has passed between these photographs, although they were taken two decades apart. The first was at the Hollywood Film Festival shortly after the couple met in 2003. Susan literally saved Robert, first and foremost, from himself. She helped him overcome his addiction to psychotropic drugs, which landed him in prison, establish his career and regain his healthy appearance. Now the couple has a son and daughter growing up.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman
It seems like a day has passed between these two photos. The first was taken in 2007 - a year after their wedding, the second at last year's Met Gala. Nicole, 55, glowed in the pink tulle dress she first wore for the 2004 Chanel No. 5 advert directed by Baz Luhrmann. As in the case of the Downey couple, Nicole helped Keith overcome alcoholism, sending him to a treatment clinic almost immediately after they started dating, restored the joy of creativity and surrounded him with care, and later with children. Now the couple is raising two daughters.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez
A love story for the ages: the couple met in the early 2000s and broke up in 2004 due to annoying press attention. However, they were destined for each other as they reunited and finally got married in 2022. Before his marriage to Jennifer, Ben abused Dunkin’ Donuts products and generally ate haphazardly, drinking plenty of coffee or alcohol. Once he became a married man, everything changed. Lopez introduced her husband to “healthy eating.” The only thing she can’t influence yet is Affleck’s addiction to cigarettes.
Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon
Last weekend, Kevi, 65, shared photos of himself and his 54-year-old wife, Kira, 33 years apart. “Aging is (almost? I hope?) as wonderful as a good whiskey,” Sedgwick commented on the post. Kevin himself added: “I think we’ve aged better than these outfits.” The main secret of their long marriage and good physical shape, according to the spouses, is a tireless interest in each other, as well as the presence of common priorities and “down-to-earthness.”
Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn
Their marital relationship lasts for more than 40 years, without a stamp in their passport. Goldie is 78, Kurt is 73. They have four children between them, of which one son is Wyatt. The couple looks great thanks to their positive attitude and easy-going attitude towards life. “Be sure to go out somewhere together, laugh more, let the kids go. Go out and find something fun to do—take a walk or get a hotel room. Do something unusual for your relationship,” Goldie said in an interview. Well, of course, spa and beauty treatments have not been canceled.
