Some celebrities are known just as much for their ageless appearance as they are for their talent. Among the stars widely suspected of having Dorian Gray-esque portraits of themselves hidden away in some attic are Jennifer Lopez, Angela Bassett, and Kate Beckinsale. And lately, Paul Rudd has been getting a lot of long-overdue attention for his significant contributions to everyone's befuddlement over how some celebrities seem to have entered a state of suspended skin aging around 30 — especially considering he just turned 50 on April 6.

Just a few weeks ago, Rudd reunited with his Clueless costars at C2E2 Comic Con in Chicago, and everyone was astounded by how he looks pretty much exactly the same now as he did when he played Josh in 1995. "I'm 80 years old on the inside. In here, pure darkness," he joked at the panel when asked for his skin secrets, pointing to his chest. "And a little moisturizer."
