As if having millions in the bank and winning the genetic lottery wasn't enough, some celebrities are blessed in another regard: immortality - or so it would seem.
A-listers such as Paul Rudd and Anne Hathaway don't seem to have aged since the early Noughties, and it makes us seriously curious about their skincare and diet routines.
Here are eight celebs who most likely have a dramatically ageing portrait locked in their attic...
Why is it that some celebrities just don't appear to age at all? From Paul Rudd to Keanu Reeves to Gwen Stefani - these stars literally look exactly the same as they did since the turn of the Millenium.
And another celeb who has recently been described as "immortal" by fans is 53-year-old Mexican-American actress Salma Hayek.
For reference, here's a clip of Hayek as Santanico Pandemonium in the 1996 movie From Dusk Till Dawn:
Seriously, I will never let anybody or any camera get that close to my face when I am 53.
And, naturally, the pic proved popular with her fans, amassing over 400,000 likes in just 24 hours. Fans also flooded Hayek's comments section with compliments, with one person writing: "After Keanu Reeves she looks immortal."

Another agreed, writing: "Salma, please share your beauty tips with us? You look so youthful."
It turns out that even Salma hasn't always been fully on board with the whole "getting older" thing. In a 2016 interview with Harper's Bazaar, she stated:
"Well I am entering my fifties so your body confidence isn’t that good. I think it depends on the day, for everybody, there’s some days you say, ‘This is it,’ and you love it. Then there are days when you go, ‘This can not be it! Is this really it?’ So I think it’s up and down all the time!"
But the Like A Boss star has also previously revealed some of her best beauty tips in an interview with The New York Times, telling the publication in 2017:
"I never cleanse my skin in the morning. My grandmother taught me that at night your skin replenishes all the things you lost during the day. Also, if I cleanse very well at night, why would it be dirty when I wake up? It’s for companies to have you use more products.
"At night I take off my makeup with coconut oil. Then I use rose water to take off the residuals. You can use a hot towel with the rose water — you put a wet towel in the microwave — to do a little steam. I’ll use the chamomile cleanser from Nuance. Then I splash with cold water."
She added: "I have an edible mask with Juice Generation that has hibiscus in it that I might use. Or you can use a little bit of oatmeal and then some water or almond milk, and a little bit of honey. You let it soak, and it’s a great cleanser that makes your skin very soft. But I don’t over-exfoliate. Exfoliating a lot may make you look good in the short term, but not I think in the long term."
Salma, keep doing what you're doing - because it is clearly working!
For us mere mortals of the world, aspiring to be like the celebrities we see on our screens every day can be tough. They've got dieticians and personal trainers to help them keep in shape, makeup artists and stylists to ensure they always look stunning at public events, and enough riches to ensure they only ever eat the finest food and use the best skin products.
Meanwhile, we're still wearing those holey jumpers we've saved from seven years ago, and convincing ourselves that potatoes are still one of our five a day.
And then you get celebrities who come along and prove that, even without the makeup and the fancy clothes, they still look a million times better than we could ever hope to. Here's just some of them...
1. Kim K's been keeping up with her skincare regime
2. Two natural beauties: Cara and Mona
3. Her husband may be a legend, but Chrissie Teigen is a sheer goddess
4. I'm going Gaga over this natural look (and the cake)
5. Gigi Ha-did it again with these killer looks (and Zayn ain't bad either)
6. Apparently these things run in families, as Bella demonstrates
7. Gwen, be a pal and share your anti-ageing tips, would you?
8. Laverne should be locked up, 'cause looking this good is just criminal
9. Georgia May might have the moves like Jagger - but she doesn't have his looks (fortunately)
10. Nicole, you'll always be a doll - makeup or not
11. Demi looks fresh in this post-pool selfie
12. This is as natural as Kylie gets
13. No, this isn't an act, J-Law is just naturally amazing
14. She might be over 40, but Drew still looks like one of Charlie's Angels
15. There's a reason Bey is queen
16. And one final Kardashian to complete the list: Kourtney working her best angle
Let's face it: we're never going to look like the Kardashians. Or Chrissie Teigen. Or Lady Gaga. Look, the world is just unfair, ok? But even though we may not look like this lot, we're all beautiful in our own right. So own your body, you were born with and embrace who you are.
Some things are inevitable. Taxes, Disney taking over the world, and aging just cannot be avoided - however, it seems that some celebrities seem to have located the fountain of youth.
Stars like Keanu Reeves, Paul Rudd, and Salma Hayek all appear to have stopped aging. And now, Halle Berry's social media fans are convinced she has also stopped aging decades ago.

The 53-year-old Catwoman actor recently shared a makeup-free selfie on Instagram, explaining her newfound love for a range of beauty products.
Writing to her 6.1 million followers, Berry captioned the post-shower snap: "Settling in on this fine #SelfCareSaturday with a much needed #HairMask, courtesy of my girl @tarajiphenson’s new line of hair care products, @tphbytaraji. I’ve known this woman since she started in the industry, and it’s been such a joy to watch her flourish and succeed. Obsessed with this line."
Just 13 hours after posting, the steamy snap has already amassed over 200,000 Likes and 2,100 comments from stunned fans.
One commenter wrote: "Halle stopped aging around 25 years ago. I figure she must have stumbled onto the fountain of youth back then. Maybe she will tell the rest of us where it is."

Many other followers also took the time to compliment Berry on her immaculate complexion.
Back in 2018, Berry revealed the secret to her flawless skin during her social media PHIT TALKS - a regular segment she featured on her Instagram account that was dedicated to health and wellbeing.
Commenting on her skin, the X-Men star said regular cardio exercise is the secret to her good looks, explaining:
"I do believe that exercise is so related to healthy skin and how you not only feel but how you look. Cardio. Cardio Cardio. Getting the blood running through your body is so good for your complexion.
You know, it can be pretty hard to guess how old celebrities actually are at first glance. They tend to have lived a a healthy enough lifestyle, or just keep themselves in good enough shape, that they generally look a lot younger than the rest of us average Joes. Not only that, but it's even trickier to compare how old certain celebrities are, and unless there's a very clear and obvious age gap, you might assume that they're much closer in age than in reality.
If you need an example of this kind of phenomenon, look no further than the following celebrity couples. Most of these pairings are pretty well-known, and in some cases, they've been together for many years. However, you might not know that there's actually a pretty big age gap there. Scroll down to check out some of the most most famous examples.
1. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones: 25 years
Pretty cool right? But if you enjoyed this list, then why not check out this article we penned all about the 10 celebrities that we can't believe were ever an item. That'll really make you wonder 'what were they thinking?'
A lot can change in ten years, and sometimes it can really throw you through a loop that the musician you grew up with has gotten that old or somehow that child actor has become an adult without you realising.
Recently, the '10 year challenge' lead to many people across social media sharing photos of themselves in 2009 and 2019, and even some big celebrities got in on the action. Some of these big stars end up ageing so well, it's hard not to get a little jealous when the years just don't show whatsoever...
A lot of these celebrities look pretty much exactly the same as they did 10 years ago. Having all the money in the world to pay for personal trainers and caterers probably doesn't hurt - but there's probably something to learn from their lifestyles.
