Celebrities Who Didn’t Age Well Over the Years

It’s tough to fight the aging process and it’s not any easier to do so when you’re frequently in the public eye. Some of the most rich and famous people do everything they can to reverse signs of aging, but even that isn’t enough to make people think that you’re truly forever young.

Some of these celebrities have gotten more and more unrecognizable as they’ve gotten older, but despite that they’ve managed to keep going with their incredible careers. They haven’t let their age stop them from reaching heights that most people can only dream of.

Val Kilmer, Real Genius

Val Kilmer is a one-of-a-kind movie icon who reached his heyday in the ’80s and ’90s. From playing the coveted role of Bruce Wayne in “Batman Forever” to starring alongside Tom Cruise in “Top Gun,” his roles have never faded into obscurity. His top movies have grossed over $3.

5 billion at the box office, so it’s safe to say that he’s done pretty well for himself.

Kilmer’s problems started with his weight, which fluctuated over the years and became very noticeable to his fans. But what they didn’t know was that he was dealing with a serious illness which caused him to retreat from the public eye.

He was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2015 and underwent several bouts of chemotherapy before making his return to the big screen in “Top Gun: Maverick” in 2022.

His health struggles were also chronicled in the 2021 documentary “Val.”

Sally Struthers, All In The Family

Sally Struthers’ breakout role was Gloria Stivic, the bubbly and outspoken daughter on Norman Lear’s groundbreaking series “All in the Family.” Her character had all of the kind qualities of her mother Edith with all of the stubbornness of her father Archie.

But you have probably seen her more recent roles too and might not have even recognized her!

Struthers used to fit the bill for the blonde bombshell of the ’70s, but she still knows how to pack a punch on screen.

She returned to television to play Babette on “Gilmore Girls,” which lasted for several seasons before touring the country in productions of “Annie” and “Hello, Dolly!” She is also a spokesperson for the Christian Children’s Fund which helps children in developing countries.
