14 Actors That Were Popular When They Were Young and Still Looked Amazing Once They Got Older

Popular Hollywood actors and actresses are always in the spotlight and we’re used to that. Many of them never stopped their careers and kept delivering new roles for decades. For example, Meryl Streep hasn’t taken any breaks for longer than one year in her entire career, since 1977. But there are some celebrities that we only remember as young people and we wouldn’t recognize in photos where they are older.

We at Bright Side decided to fill this gap in our knowledge and found some of the famous actors that still looked great, even once they got older.

Audrey Hepburn

The actress was incredibly popular in the 50s and 60s of the previous century and the American Film Institute considers her to be the 3rd greatest actress of American cinema. Viewers remember her for her roles in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Roman Holiday, and How to Steal a Million. She endured a serious depression throughout her life, which may have eventually stopped her from appearing in movies later in life. And that’s really unfortunate because she looked like a queen when she was old.

Hugh Grant

The film Maurice released in 1987 became the first success for this amazing actor. But these 3 films made him a star — Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones’s Diary. Many people know this actor for his wonderful acting in romantic comedies. Hugh Grant is a father of 5 kids, and he is married to Anna Bernstein, a TV producer. Hugh still looks great, by the way.

Jacqueline Bisset

She’s famous for her roles in the films of the 1960s-80s: Wild Orchid, Napoleon and Josephine: A Love Story, and The Man from Acapulco with Jean-Paul Belmondo. The actress is still popular in Hollywood but she doesn’t have any leading roles. Jacqueline Bisset has never been married, but she’s been in a long-term relationship with Russian ballet dancer Alexander Godunov.

Michelle Pfeiffer

The period from the end of the ’80s to the beginning of the ’90s was very successful for this actress — at the time, there were a lot of movies with her and her acting was praised by critics.
