who are now the same age if not younger.

i'm talking about jennifer lopez, catherine zeta jones, jenny mccarthy. when the 'darling buds of may' was on, i don't remember czj being the same age i was at the time.

I have thought the same about numerous female slebs too.

bibbitybobbityhat · 29/04/2010 16:00

So how old are you Lucky?

And how old does CZJ claim to be these days?

AbsOfCroissant · 29/04/2010 16:00

There was an article in the ahem Daily Mail recently which put Kate Winslet at 29.

Erm, I'm 28, and I was about 13/14 when Titanic came out if memory serves. I don't she was about 14 when making that film to be honest ...

bibbitybobbityhat · 29/04/2010 16:01

Kate Winslet is 34 or 35. Really? Did the Daily Mail really put her at 29? Thats quite a cock up.

NorbertDentressangle · 29/04/2010 16:01

aah but your memory can play strange tricks on you where celebs are concerned

eg. I'm sure I've read numerous pregnant celebs say something along the lines of "I'll be in no hurry to lose my babyweight after the baby is born" and then, lo and behold, 5 minutes after giving birth they're a size zero again

scurryfunge · 29/04/2010 16:02

She was born in 1975 according to Wiki

AbsOfCroissant · 29/04/2010 16:24

Oh wait, my bad. She was 28 in February this year according to the DM.

How, I do not know

Alouiseg · 29/04/2010 16:27

I'm sure I used to be younger than Lisa Marie Presley!

DuelingFanjo · 29/04/2010 16:29

Was Catherine Zita Jones really born in 1969? That makes her a year older than me and yet I am sure I remember her being way older than me when she was in the Darling Buds thing!

bibbitybobbityhat · 29/04/2010 16:30

Oh lol! I'm sure she (KW) doesn't claim to be that young.

lucykate · 29/04/2010 16:32

i am 39. the number of female celebs claiming to be 40 is growing, when i'm positive a lot of them are more like 45!

CZJ was definitely 1969........she's always been the same age as me.

Luckily my husband is far more handsome than Mr Douglas is these days.

thederkinsdame · 29/04/2010 22:14

Strangely, all the Spice girls are younger than me now. I am sure they weren;t when they were starting out... Maybe celebs are like dogs, but in reverse three years for us mere mortal is a celeb year

thecatatemygymsuit · 29/04/2010 22:16

How old is Sadie Frost these days? Am sure she's been pushing 40 for at least ten years!

Cyclops · 29/04/2010 23:13

Sinita is another ageless sleb.

Also Whitney Houston.

And of course Nancy dell'olio

choosyfloosy · 29/04/2010 23:20

I'm sure Rachel Weisz lost about a year somewhere along the line.

The DAily Mail have definitely cocked up there on Kate Winslet. She was born in 1975. It always sticks in my head because she is a year younger than me. She quite often talks about being in her thirties so I don't think it's come from her. They've just made a mistake by the looks of it.

bronze · 01/05/2010 17:26

75? which would make her 34/35?

Titanic was made in 97

She was older than that surely?

CZJ has always been the same age as me - I'm 40 (tomorrow!)

No way is KW 29 - I saw her recently and she looks more like late 30s. Shocked she was born in '75 tbh.

But OP, you're right. These female slebs seem to drop years with amazing frequency.

PfftTheMagicDragon · 01/05/2010 17:35

I think Winslet must be closer to 40.

FabIsGoingToGetFit · 01/05/2010 17:37

I think CZJ has had a face lift or some work done. She had a new hair cut and everyone raved about it. To me, it was obvious. We might even find out as she employs someone to read everything written about her on the internet and in the papers.

If KW was born in 1975 I am older than her but have no wrinkles. She has several.
