Some celebrities just refuse to look their age, and the internet wants to know why.

TheThings Celebrity’s video “10 Famous People Who Don’t Age” runs through a group of stars whose faces have barely budged over the years, despite the calendar saying otherwise. Rather than chalking it all up to Botox and surgeons, the feature focuses on the unglamorous stuff — diet, sleep, exercise, and skincare habits anyone could copy. Jared Leto, Ellen DeGeneres, and Pharrell Williams headline the breakdown, each with a real number attached to a face that doesn’t seem to match it.

  • Jared Leto, 44 in 2016, credits a long-term vegan diet and regular hiking for keeping him looking decades younger.
  • Ellen DeGeneres, 58 in 2016, sticks to a vegan diet, daily yoga, and a skincare routine that’s just washing her face and moisturizing.
  • Pharrell Williams, 43 in 2016, addressed years of “is he a vampire” jokes in a Time Out interview, joking that he doesn’t drink human blood and simply washes his face and stays hydrated.

The Numbers Behind the Faces

The whole hook of the video is the gap between what these celebrities look like and what their birth certificates say. Leto at 44 still gets mistaken for a guy in his twenties on red carpets. DeGeneres, at 58, has hosted her daytime talk show for over a decade without appearing to age along with the calendar years the show has racked up. Pharrell, at 43, has looked essentially the same since he first blew up as a producer in the late ’90s — which is exactly the kind of gap that gets people typing his name into Google followed by a question mark.

Leto’s Vegan, Outdoor Routine

Leto’s approach, according to the video, comes down to a long-term vegan diet paired with an active, outdoor lifestyle built around hiking. There’s no exotic treatment being credited here — just consistency, plant-based eating, and staying on his feet in nature rather than parked on a couch between film shoots and tours with his band, Thirty Seconds to Mars.

Ellen’s Yoga Mat and a Bar of Soap

DeGeneres gets a similar breakdown: vegan diet, daily yoga, and a skincare regimen so basic it’s almost anticlimactic — wash your face, moisturize, repeat. For a host who’s been on camera nearly every weekday for years, that kind of low-maintenance routine is presented as the real explanation, not some hidden dermatology secret.

Pharrell and the Vampire Jokes

Pharrell’s segment is the one with the most personality. His unchanged look over roughly two decades in the music industry turned into an actual internet running joke, with fans theorizing online — and searching Google in large enough numbers to make it a trend — that he might literally be a vampire. Pharrell finally addressed it directly in an interview with Time Out, and didn’t take the bait seriously.

He isn’t drinking human blood — just washing his face and staying hydrated, according to his own explanation to Time Out.

It’s a funny answer, but it lines up with the rest of the video’s thesis: the celebrities who look frozen in time aren’t hiding some elaborate secret, they’re mostly just consistent about the boring stuff. That’s the same theme running through pieces on musicians who aren’t what they seem on the surface, and it’s the reason lists of celebrities who look freakishly alike keep pulling in curious clicks — people can’t quite believe what they’re looking at.

So the vampire jokes keep circulating every time Pharrell shows up on a red carpet looking exactly like he did at the 2004 Grammys, and he’ll probably keep laughing them off the same way he did with Time Out — face wash in one hand, glass of water in the other.
