- Some famous actors and musicians are older than you might think.
- Nicola Coughlan is 37 years old, but she plays the teenage Penelope Featherington in Bridgerton.
- Here are 50 celebrities and their surprising ages.

Coughlan is just one of many Bridgerton actors who are older than their characters, emblematic of a general Hollywood casting phenomenon: Most of the “teenagers” audiences see on shows like Euphoria and The Vampire Diaries are actually in their 20s and 30s.
But actors aren't the only ones fooling audiences with their youthful looks. Here are 50 celebrities who are actually older than you think. Can anyone tell me their skin care routine?
