Cosmetic surgery and all aside, some are just ageless.
Different factors affect ageing differently, but the last example is an interesting one.
- Genetics:
Generally, Black skin – that contains more melanin, ages slower than white skin. Also, the bone structure of people of African descent doesn’t change as much with age as those of whites. Gabrielle Union and Kirsten Dunst acted as high school teenagers in the movie Bring it on (2000), when Gabrielle was actually 27 years old then.
I tried to pick more natural looking pics of them today. However, you can see that both look similar in 2020, while Gabrielle is a cool 10 years older than Kirsten at 47.
2. Mental Stress:
Below are twins who had no other major differences in lifestyle, except the one on the right went through divorce after 27 years of marriage. It is subtle, but you can see the effect on the skin, with darker circles and lesser smoothness.
3. Lifestyle – sun, smoking, drugs, etc.:
Below are twins, one of whom spent much more time under the sun and spent 16 years as a smoker.
One more interesting example as below: Scott Kelly (on the right) spent a year in space, while his twin brother Mark stayed back on Earth. And their DNA were studied.
It was found that Scott’s DNA aged quicker. Telomeres of his DNA decreased in length quicker than what ageing normally does.[3] This made him more vulnerable to diseases like cancer, heart-attacks, etc. compared to his brother who’s just 6 minutes older.
