Take a look at these celebrities who will be bringing in their 50th birthday this year! That’s right, these gorgeous faces will be marking half a century in 2015 (and we’re sure they’ll continue to look way younger than their actual age). Like they say, ‘Age is just a number’ and Hollywood seems to be the perfect example.
Comedian, actor, screenwriter, producer and director all rolled into one, Chris Rock is set to celebrate his 50th birthday in February this year. This father of two beautiful daughters is getting younger by the day and it’s just impossible to believe he has hit the mid-life mark already.
Andre Romelle Young, popularly known by his stage name, Dr. Dre will be celebrating his golden jubilee in February this year as well and it is hard to believe. The uber-talented rapper and record producer is known to be the man behind Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar and many more famous artists. Birthdays of stars like him just mean another year of entertaining the world with his eye for music and artists.
Emmy Award nominee Kristin Davis, famous for her role as ‘Charlotte’ in the epic series ‘Sex and the City’ will celebrate her 50th birth anniversary on 24th February looking like a 30-something. How is that possible? SERIOUSLY?
Our very own ‘Tony Stark’ a.k.a ‘Iron Man’ turns fifty on 24th April. With an amazing list of credits to his name Robert Downey, Jr. still manages to look as fresh and spunky as he used to when ‘Ally McBeal’ was on-air.
With multiple awards in her kitty, the legendary author of the all-time favourite ‘Harry Potter’ series, JK Rowling is set to step into her 50th year with a magical touch on the 31st of July.
Son of comedy legends Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, Ben Stiller is also turning 50 this year. Known to crack people up with his comic talent, we hope the Emmy Award winner celebrates his birthday the ‘Zoolander’ way!
English actress and model Elizabeth Hurley will celebrate her 50th birthday this June! Yes, you read that right… the lady who can pass off as a 25-year old without blinking an eye is also set to celebrate her golden jubilee year.
The oldest member of the American TV series ‘Entourage‘ Kevin Dillon turns 50 on 19th August. This dapper dude does not look a day over 30, don’t you agree?
The Queen of Country Pop Shania Twain will celebrate her life’s 50th milestone in August this year and as unbelievable as it sounds, it is true!
The ‘Two and a Half Men’ star Charlie Sheen is turning 50 this year and this bad boy is far away from looking like it. From being one of the highest-paid actors on television to being famous for his recurrent battles in personal life, this star definitely does not look a day over 30!
