It should come as no surprise that our favorite celebrities age and grow old at the same rate the rest of us do.
And yet, for some reason, it shocks us when we see a famous actor or singer beginning to show their years. Sure, the majority of A-listers can mask the process of aging through expensive creams and ill-advised surgeries, but there will come a day when they simply have to accept the inevitable process that comes with being mortal.
Perhaps what makes it so interesting to the rest of us is that we get to watch celebrities getting older in real time, this in spite of not actually knowing them. Through their various work and the constant flashing of papparazzi lenses, we follow their lives like they were members of our own family.
