As Old As... Each Other
Amy and Cheryl, Kylie and Celine, Blake Lively and Zac Efron - who would've guessed that these celebs are the same age? Check out who's as old as who...
PA PhotosScarlett Johansson and Wayne Rooney
Age: 31
Both Scarlett Johansson and Wayne Rooney started their respective careers at the tender age of 10: Scarlett starred in North, alongside future Hobbit Elijah Wood, while Wayne joined the youth team of football club Everton. We’d say they’ve both built up a rather impressive CV since 1994!
PA PhotosKylie Minogue and Celine Dion
Age: 47
The careers of these two ladies started quite literally worlds apart, with Kylie acting on Australian TV show Neighbours and Canadian-born Celine as a teen songstress in France. Both are now international mega stars, and it doesn’t look like either of them are going to slow down any time soon!
PA PhotosAvril Lavigne and Katy Perry
Age: 31
Avril Lavigne and Katy Perry started their careers in church – Katy as the daughter of two pastors and Avril singing alongside her mother from the tender age of two. Both ladies have since come a long way from the chapel, with Avril’s first album being certified four-times platinum and Katy gaining worldwide pop domination.
PA PhotosMadonna and Sharon Stone
Age: 57
Although these controversial ladies are two of the oldest in our round-up they’re by far two of the most glamorous. While Sharon Stone has been a household name since 1990’s Total Recall, Madonna has reveled in success a few years longer, with her 1983 debut album reaching the Top 10 of the US Billboard album charts.
PA PhotosEminem and Gwyneth Paltrow
Age: 43
We never thought we’d see these two in the same sentence! While both Eminem and Gwyneth Paltrow have acted, Eminem’s forte is his rap career while Gwyneth sticks to big Hollywood flicks.
PA PhotosPeter Andre and Jude Law
Age: 43
Don’t judge a book by its cover. Who knew these two men would have so much in common? Not only do Jude Law and Peter Andre share the same age, they’re also both step-parents.
PA PhotosDavid Mitchell and Kate Moss
Age: 41
Alright, alright, so it’s kind of mean to pit anyone against a supermodel - but then again, these two couldn’t be more different. Whilst Kate Moss creates newspaper headlines, David Mitchell writes them - for a London newspaper no less, and has his own TV shows.
PA PhotosCharlotte Church and Mischa Barton
Age: 30
These two 30-year-olds have already lived quite a full life. Mischa Barton went from breakout TV star to troubled actress, while mother-of-two Charlotte Church has won a Brit and numerous GLAMOUR Awards!
PA PhotosRachel Stevens and Usher
Age: 37
While Rachel Stevens’ success has been mostly UK-based, first with S Club 7 and then as a solo artist, Usher’s career has stretched (not just geographically) further, winning 5 Grammy Awards and 19 Billboard Music Awards. But, you guessed it, they are both the same age.
PA PhotosRupert Grint and Rihanna
Age: 28
The world got to know Harry Potter’s Rupert Grint when he was 12; Rihanna ‘only’ popped up on our TVs and radios four years later, after she was discovered by Mr Jay-Z himself.
PA PhotosTom Felton and Hilary Duff
Age: 28
Both child stars and both 28; we wonder what else Tom Felton and Hilary Duff have in common!
PA PhotosNatalie Portman and Paris Hilton
Age: 35
While Paris Hilton has made a name for herself as an heiress, brand, and the ultimate blonde, Natalie Portman has gathered some pretty different accolades: a Golden Globe, an Academy Award nomination and a degree from Harvard University. Not bad!
PA PhotosMichelle Williams and Macaulay Culkin
Age: 35
Macaulay Culkin is best known for his childhood fame, thanks to the Home Alone series, whereas Michelle Williams didn’t break through to our screens till she appeared in Dawson’s Creek. Same age though!
PA PhotosKate Hudson and Pete Doherty
Age: 36
Pete Doherty made a name for himself as a band member of the Libertines and as the boyfriend of supermodel Kate Moss. Who’d have know he was the same age as Almost Famous starlet Kate Hudson?
PA PhotosNaomi Campbell and Jay-Z
Age: 46
These two 40-year-olds have both reached the top of their respective professions, modeling and music. Brooklyn-born Jay-Z has gone from rapper to entrepreneur to Mr Beyoncé, while London-born Naomi Campbell went from super(duper)model to charity campaigner.
PA PhotosGwen Stefani and Marilyn Manson
Age: 46
Both Marilyn Manson and Gwen Stefani are known for their extravagant make-up and over-the-top outfits, as well as their huge musical success.
PA PhotosJennifer Aniston and Catherine Zeta-Jones
Age: 47
Although Catherine Zeta-Jones’ short-lived TV career can hardly rival Jennifer Aniston’s success with Friends, Catherine surely has had more critically acclaimed success as a film and stage actress, winning Academy, BAFTA and Tony Awards.
PA PhotosSimon Cowell and Hugh Laurie
Age: 56
Two Brits who’ve conquered America! We dare say Simon Cowell needs no introduction, and, after his international success as a grumpy doctor in House, neither does Hugh Laurie.
PA PhotosHelen Mirren and Debbie Harry
Age: 70
Nope, that’s not a typo. These fabulous ladies were both born in 1945. While Debbie Harry always has and always will have faultless style, we can’t help but envy Helen Mirren for her natural beauty - and have you seen that body?
PA PhotosGerard Butler and Claudia Schiffer
Age: 45
OK, so Claudia Schiffer is a supermodel - but we think Gerard Butler holds his own pretty well. While German-born Claudia now leads a settled life in London with her husband and two children, Gerard is making film after film - and, if you believe the rumours, conquest after conquest!
PA PhotosBlake Lively and Zac Efron
Age: 28
It’s hard to imagine Hollywood sans Blake Lively or Zac Efron - and they’re only 23! Who could forget cherub-faced Zac in the very first High School Musical, and don’t even get us started on the hair-envy we feel when we see Blake on Gossip Girl!
PA PhotosBrad Pitt and Courtney Love
Age: 52
While Courtney Love still likes a good party, Brad Pitt has settled down to family life with Angelina Jolie and their six children.
PA PhotosTaylor Momsen and Miley Cyrus
Age: 23
Taylor Momsen and Miley Cyrus started off as child actors – in Hannah Montana and How The Grinch Stole Christmas – but have made the difficult transition into music.
