To ask which celebrities you always thought were much older than you, but actually aren't

This is just for fun, but I've had a couple in the last few days.

You know when you assume that someone is much older than you, but then find out that they actually aren't....

My first was Kate Garraway. She always seemed to much more sophisticated than me. Turns out she is only 2 years older!!

Second is Pamela Anderson. I remember watching her on Baywatch when I was a teen thinking that she was soooo grown up - only 3 years older than me!!

Anyone else had this?

Sort of but I often find out how old a celebrity is and think that they’re really old, then realise that they’re the same age as me and am the horrified that I’m that old too.

Keely Hawes. I remember her first programme coming on when I was a young teenager. But apparently she’s only about 5 years older than me.

I went to school with a couple of now celebrities who used to be older than me but are now younger!

Haha Lemon, totally get that! There's some celebrities who were exactly the same age as me (or a year or two older than me) when I was growing up. Now when I google them, Wikipedia tells me they're younger than me... Much younger!

Victoria Beckham. I could have sworn she's always been a few years older than me yet suddenly she's a few years younger. Hmmm. Hmm

Kate Garraway was always younger than me and now she's older. Funny that.
