Life has not been kind to us for the most part. These celebrities may be best known for their early television appearances, but they, too, have their ups and downs. No matter how hard we try to avoid it, we will all have to deal with the effects of aging. As a result, we might not be as appealing as we once were. The expression “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is true. Many of these celebrities have continued to have successful careers in show business despite their changing appearances. It’s proof that age has no bearing on your ability. From Val Kilmer to Johnny Depp, here are some aging stars who are almost unrecognizable!
Val Kilmer Then
Val Kilmer began his acting career on stage before moving on to the big screen. In 1983, he made his television debut in an ABC Afterschool Special alongside a teen Michelle Pfeiffer. By the end of the decade, Val Kilmer had starred alongside Tom Cruise in Top Gun, and he was considered serious hot money by the mid-1990s. In Oliver Stone’s blockbuster film about The Doors, he beat out INXS’ Michael Hutchence for the role of Jim Morrison. His best performance is widely regarded as Heat, in which he co-starred with De Niro and Pacino.

Despite reports that Val’s waistline has shrunk over the years, we think he still looks great for his era. He is no longer visible on both large and small screens, which is unfortunate. He shocked viewers by announcing on Twitter that he had lost weight and was down to 165 pounds after years of gaining weight. Val’s working career has come to an end. He’s been on the road with Citizen Twain, a one-man show he wrote and stars in. In 2012, he received a Grammy Award for his spoken word work. The possibility of a Top Gun sequel may also inspire you to get in shape. Val, you’re stunning!
