Not As Young As You Think!

Here's a hint. She's not 14.

Ah, aging. The deadliest of foes and the one thing many women (and men) try their best to avoid. You've heard of anti-aging creams, treatments, and surgeries, but seriously, how effective (and costly!) is all this? Today, I'll be introducing you to some people who just look way too young for their age. Maybe some of us could learn a thing or two from them!

8. Madonna

How could I ever leave her out? It's not very easy to realize that she's in her 50's (unless you decide to scrutinize her photographs for wrinkles) and the way she acts really does amplify the 'young look' she's got going on. Not to mention the fact she dates men who are young enough to be her sons too!

7. Jennifer Lopez

Being in her 40's, you've got to admit that J Lo's still got it! Is it the makeup? Botox? Maybe more than that?

6. Gwen Stefani

Like Jennifer, this 40 year old mother's still got that youthfulness in her. From her appearances to her performances, it's a little hard to believe she's in her middle ages!

5. Elijah Wood

Before any questions are asked, I'd just like to add that he's the guy who played Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. And yes, I know he looks like any other 29 year old, but the reason why he's on this list is because of his adorable little baby face. I mean, just look at him! He's almost childlike!

4. Justin Bieber

I would be crazy not to include him in the list! At only 16, Justin doesn't just look like he's just reached puberty, but his voice doesn't sound his age either! And you'd think his voice had cracked already... I'm just saying.

Oh Justin Bieber fans, I mean no harm. Please don't eat me.

3. Adam Nyerere Bahner (Tay Zonday)

Remember him? Tay Zonday, well known for his Youtube video-turned-meme 'Chocolate Rain' which features his deep voice and his odd mannerisms while singing (telling his viewers that he moves away from the microphone to breathe in), was at the center of much debate about his age when his video was first released, because for someone who looked like a kid, his voice was lower than your everyday Joe. It turns out that Tay's about 27 years old! And I thought he was a teenager...

2. Xia Da/ April (Chinese Mangaka)

Okay, take a guess. How old is she? 13? 14? 15? If your answer is below 20, you're definitely wrong. This mangaka's 29 years old. I suppose this is where 'kawai' (meaning 'cute' in Japanese) is taken to a whole new level!

1. Mitsukuni Haninozuka (a.k.a. Honey)

At the age of 17, Honey sports the physique, personality, and the appearances of a 6 year old. To amplify this, he even carries a rabbit plush toy with him almost all the time. And it's not just Honey, but many anime characters just look too young for their age! Sure, it's to make them look cuter, but sometimes that sort of character design is totally unneeded. I'm just saying.


And that brings today's post to a close. I'd just like to add that I apologize for the late post (blame it on the terrible internet connection)... I'm sorry, everyone!
