It can be hard to tell how old celebrities are — depending on how long they've been around, they can seem either much older or much younger than they actually are. It's especially bizarre when you find out two very different celebrities are actually the same age. Some celebrities clearly do everything they can to stay young forever, while some take more of a IDGAF approach. Here are eight pairs of celebrities that are strangely enough the same age!

where are they?

Lorde and Zendaya - Born 1996

Why is it that Lorde just seems so much older than she is? Talk about an old soul. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Disney stars seem eternally young ... until they start twerking, posing in Maxim Magazine and getting DUIs, that is. Then they seem busted as hell.

Tom Hiddleston and Joseph Gordon Levitt - Born 1981


I guess playing an iconic villain like Loki just gives the impression that you're older than you are, especially compared to the boyish Joseph Gordon Levitt. He'll probably look 22 in his 50s, which isn't a good thing really. Meanwhile, Tom Hiddleston already has the authority to make us his mewling quim.

Pisure? Well, the lady on black, old shaa... The guys ages, no surprise!

Beyonce and Britney Spears - Born 1981


Poor Brit Brit. She's been around so long it feels like she's 100, and on top of that, she doesn't GAF about looking perfect all the time (which is actually kind of bad-ass). Of course, Beyonce has to be all friggin' flawless all the time ... until we see an unretouched pic. Then we're like "phew, she's only flawless 99% of the time".

Chris Evans and Elijah Wood - Born 1981

Elijah Wood definitely seems forever 14, while Chris Evans is a total macho man. C'mon, he's Captain America! Maybe Elijah should grow a beard? (Although, facial hair did nothing to make Bieber look more butch, so who knows.)

Idris Elba and John Cho - Born 1972

Jon Cho looks like he's barely out of his teens, while Idris Elba looks like, well, I don't know if I can say what he looks like to me on a site that isn't x-rated. How about really, really yummy and like a man old enough to know what he's doing? Is that tame enough?

Adele and Vanessa Hudgens - Born 1988


Adele just seems like she'd have to be at least 60 to be find such a mature way to express how love feels in your 20s, which you'll find out one day is the most ridiculously misguided period of love in your life. Vanessa Hudgens, though, has that high school thing going on, no matter how many times her nudes accidentally leak. I mean, what could be more juvenile than that?

Martin Freeman and Jared Leto - Born 1971


Martin Freeman looks all distinguished, while Jared Leto looks like a Pabst Blue Ribbon-drinking, record-playing Jesus. Surely someone in their 40s couldn't be that much of a hipster, could they? But it's true. I can't wait to see Leto in his 60s playing ukulele on a unicycle in Brooklyn on his way to get a hemp milk latte.

Michael Cera and Hafthór Júlíus Björnsson - Born 1988


Michael Cera looks like he's about 12, while and Hafthór Björnsson looks like he's lived HARD. I mean, you don't play a character named "The Mountain" if you don't look like you've been through some sh*t. All I care about is seeing these two battle in front of Daenerys on the next season of Game of Thrones, although it would be sad to see Cera's head smashed like a grape. But as they say, All Men Must Die, even ones that still look like boys.


Which celebrity pair was the most shocking?

Lorde and Adele look extremely only than their ages. The difference is that Adele's voice sounds so mature like she's 40 or so while Lorde's voice matches her (Lorde) age. I don't think Beyonce looks younger than her age. That's a very bad pic of Idris Elba. I've seen some nice recent pic of Idris. Add Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron. Both born in 1975. Angelina looks like a beautiful 48 while Charlize looks like a good looking 34.

Don Jazzy and Dbanj.
Dbanj is older but he looks way much older
