Just read that Tina O' Brien (Sarah on corrie) has turned 40 today.
I swear she looks about 23 if that. I am in shock !

No, Miranda Kerr is definitely the youngest looking 40 year old. It’s actually ridiculous how young she looks.

Never heard of her but yes I think she looks early 20s in these pictures

continentallentil · 07/08/2023 22:17

I’d never heard of her but having just had a Google.. she does have a baby face but in production stills from Corrie or award show shots I’d have guessed her as early to mid 30s. It’s only in the photoshopped hello and publicity shots she looks terribly young.

You know these are photoshopped into next Christmas?

Filters.

Yes but there are plenty of videos on her Instagram and she looks ridiculously young in those too. She’s always had a very round face with big dimples, it’ll naturally make her look younger for longer.

She doesn’t look 23. She looks like a beautiful young woman because she is, but she doesn’t look nearly twenty years younger than she actually is.

40 isn't young. It's midlife for many people.

3luckystars · 07/08/2023 22:22

Sienna miller does not look young.

AvengedQuince · 07/08/2023 22:24

It has to be botox, her smile doesn't reach her eyes like it would naturally

mommatoone · 07/08/2023 22:32

Shes beautiful and youthful.lookimg - botox or otherwise. Her daughter Scarlett is beautiful too, certainly a mix of her mum & dad .

Nogg · 07/08/2023 22:34

lots of people look young at 40.
come back when you are pushing 50!

Debussydiscobeat · 07/08/2023 22:38

I used to live near her and saw her out and about with no make up, running round after her kids and can confirm she is gorgeous! Really naturally pretty and young-looking!

Inaworldmadeofsteel · 07/08/2023 22:38

Nogg this is so true. At 40 people would often say I looked younger than my age but now at 50 no one bats an eyelid. Menopause is not kind!

Upwiththelark76 · 07/08/2023 22:41

She definitely looks in her 20s ! She has a very young looking face and a figure to die for !

Jesus she looks even younger now than she did playing Kendra the Vampire Slayer in 1998 !
she clearly has a picture locked away in an attic somewhere

Radiat · 07/08/2023 22:51

She’s really pretty, I’d probably put her at about 5-8 years younger than her real age. Her face shape and large eyes are quite youthful, I’d guess that’s what does it.

CarPour · 07/08/2023 22:51

She looks late 30s tp me. She's a gorgeous woman, and she does have a youthful face but she doesn't look in her 20s!

There's the odd photo where she's got lots of glowy make up on, taken at the right angle where she looks in her 20s, but most of the natural ones show an attractive woman in her late 30s

The two aren’t really mutually exclusive.

CarPour · 07/08/2023 22:55

CherryMaDeara · 07/08/2023 21:52

A ravishingly beautiful woman and she looks mid-30s.

If anything I'd say she looks older than 42 here!
Again she looks great, she's a beautiful 40yr old woman.

prettycolours · 07/08/2023 22:55

I thought this was going to be about Tina from S Club. She is approaching 50 and there doesn't seem to be a line on the woman's face!

Claretmum · 07/08/2023 22:56

You can see she's had botox...fillers maybe....either way she looks fab!

FannyJoan · 07/08/2023 23:00

Face shape, hairline, lighting, clever make up, botox. Even given all those things ....when perimenopause hits face defo starts to show age more.

elliejjtiny · 07/08/2023 23:01

She's 40!?!?! But I'm 41 and I watched her have a baby at 13 in coronation street when I was about 18.

I found out that George Rainsford who played Ethan in Casualty is 41. I never would have guessed he was my age. Although I think that's partly because his character and one of the paramedics had a baby when my eldest was about 15.

elliejjtiny · 07/08/2023 23:03

@prettycolours I'm always amazed when I see the people from SClub. They are all my age and older but Paul was the only one who looked my age, the rest all looked at least 10 years younger.
