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 !

I don't agree, if I'd had to guess I'd say kate 30's. So a bit younger than 49, but not much.

IncenseAndPeppermint · 07/08/2023 23:14

I’d never heard of this person before, but based on the pictures that people posted & I googled, I say she looks like a well kept 42-45 that has had far too many Botox injections. It’s sad when naturally beautiful women mess up their faces in an attempt to ‘look younger’.

Xmasbaby11 · 07/08/2023 23:15

I used to watch Corrie and always thought she looked very young for her age. Gorgeous yes but also just very young!

RudsyFarmer · 07/08/2023 23:19

I think Kate Beckensale is the one with the picture in the attic. Im
sure she’s nearly 50 and just flawless.

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

Agree with this. Throughout my 30s and early 40s nobody ever believed my age...now I'm 45 nobody ever disbelieves me 😐

Have you seen sienna miller lately. 42 and looks 25!

No she doesn't 🤣

Trulywonderfulworld · 07/08/2023 23:22

Looked at Recent shots from her on set untouched up and yes she looks her age.
Wrinkles around neck, eyes etc.
Sunken eyes

she bought herself an entire new face

When women who have had work done (botox, fillers, cosmetic surgery), their faces settle to look around late 30s, early 40s, if not older. The photos of Sienna Miller and Tina O'Brien (never heard of her) look around this age. Sienna definitely older.

Those photos of Miranda Kerr have heavy filters on. She probably still looks really good in real life.

Show quote history

She said she can't have surgery because of her illness?

They're not sunken! Makes her sound like a skeleton Grin
Deep set eyes, she's always had them (I'm envious as I have hooded eyes)

Whattheactualwhatnow · 07/08/2023 23:39

YABU for not including a photo 😝 I haven’t watched Corrie since she WAS about 23 and now I have to Google

ikno · 07/08/2023 23:43

So your problem is that you’ve built up an outdated idea of what a 40+ year old looks like in your head.

We live in the world of social media and things like Botox, filler, makeup, fashion and even surgery are more accessible than they may have been for previous generations. I do think millennials in general will look younger than the 40 year olds before them as a result. Essentially a continuation of their looks in their 20s eg trendy outfits/hair with possibly extra pressure to keep up and not “look 40”.

With that in mind, I’m in my 20s and definitely don’t think this actress looks like she’s 23! She looks her age, but like she takes care of herself. Some of the other images of her posted here look filtered or airbrushed. But from other lighting/angles, you can spot the changes to her face indicative of aging.

She always had a baby face so I’d expect her to look in her early 30s.

For anyone jealous, at least looking your age means you’ve been able to buy a drink in a bar for the last 20 years.

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.

Well she's not a young woman. That's the point.

AsACloud · 07/08/2023 23:57

I saw her up close several times on holiday a few weeks back and I can say that she definitely does not look anywhere near 40 in real life. I also doubt very much that she’s had any work done/Botox etc, she was very natural looking. Good genes I think!

londonba · 07/08/2023 23:59

This is what she looks like in motion from recent corrie appearances. (the title of the video is bizarre but it’s SFW)

She doesn’t look 23 due to the mid face volume, pre-jowls, lines around mouth, undereye area. None of that makes her look bad either.

It's in the under eye lines.

Botox and fillers can't really tackle these without leaving a weird look so they are the tell tale sign a woman is over 40.

Duckingella · 08/08/2023 00:38

Nicola Coughlan is 36;she looks very early 20's.

For those wondering who she;she plays Penelope aka lady whistledown in Bridgerton.

Forgottenmypasswordagain · 08/08/2023 00:50

I am not familar with her but google showed me her pics. She looks 40 ish.

Siouxiesiouxiesioux · 08/08/2023 00:50

Flowerdaschund · 07/08/2023 22:13

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

From these pics I guessed 37/38 which isn’t far off.

The picture on the left looks like a botoxed 50 year old to me.

Pluffe · 08/08/2023 00:51

She looks great but she absolutely looks her age. I’m 39 and she doesn’t look any younger than me (I don’t think I’m special either).

JaneJeffer · 08/08/2023 00:52

She takes after her 72 year old mother Wink

To say she must be the youngest looking 40 year old ever?!

I agree with you. She has a very sweet baby face. Very young looking.
