7 Celebrities Who Are Terrified Of Aging
Published on June 2, 2015. Updated April 3, 2017In Hollywood, there is so much fear about aging. Actresses typically feel this more than actors. Some of them combat this fear with Botox, fillers, facelifts and other plastic surgery procedures that can help them feel young and vital. Women aren’t the only ones in Hollywood that are scared of aging though – there are some men who feel the same pressures. Even worse, young starlets who are not even 30 are now complaining about how scared they are of getting older, which shows just how bad the problem is. Here are seven celebrities who need to just enjoy life and stop worrying about the inevitable.
7. Courteney Cox
Courteney Cox has admitted in the past that she is desperate to hold onto what’s left of her youth and that she is terrified of turning 50. “You know what, I’m game for anything. I’m very open to trying to prolong the inevitable,” she told New You Magazine. “My biggest fear is that it catches up to you so quickly, it’s almost like you wake up and you’ve changed. You can be rocking along in your life and then it just happens.”

Jon Bon Jovi doesn’t want to age because he is afraid he will go bald. “Let me tell you, I am so worried. I look at guys like Sting and think, ‘Well, he’s cool about losing his hair,’ but I’m already losing a bit and I’m so aware of it. Someone told me that you have to regularly massage your scalp so I do that all the time. You look like a jerk but it’s got to be worth a shot,” he told Germany’s Reader’s Digest. “I find it hard to believe I’m 47 already, because I still feel like 18. I don’t plan on being the next Mick Jagger and to keep on going till my late 60s. But at the moment I don’t see a reason why I should stop.”

Brandi Glanville is terrified of growing older. According to an inside source, she has been getting plastic surgery because she is trying to look young so that she can attract a man, but she has overdone it with Botox and fillers. “Brandi is embarrassed about how it turned out,” said an insider. “She’s trying to find a boyfriend and wants to look young, but she knows she went too far.” Hollywood isn’t an easy place to be single, but excessive amounts of Botox and fillers aren’t the answer.

Bianca Jagger, Mick Jagger’s first wife, is afraid to grow old alone. “I fear decay and decline. I am scared to grow old alone. I love the idea of (falling in love) but I avoid it. Being able to suit yourself, not being answerable to anyone else, is very addictive,” she said “I have friends who have been happily married for a long time, so I know it is possible and how happy it makes them. But, yes, I avoid it. I am always travelling. I can’t give time to it.”

Kim Kardashian has admitted that she doesn’t like to laugh or smile because of her fear of aging. On Instagram, she posted a picture with her smiling along and laughing alongside a friend with the caption, “See I do smile…even laugh on occasion. Not too often though because it causes wrinkles.” Someone needs to tell Kim that it is okay to laugh and smile. Laugh lines show that a person has actually enjoyed life.

Amanda Seyfried is on the cusp of turning 30 and she isn’t quite sure where her 20s went. If she could have it her way, she would be 20 again. “I’m turning 30 and sometimes I think, ‘God, where did the last decade go?’” she told E! News. “I would kill to be 20. Life is short. Every year I think more about my mortality.” It sounds like she just doesn’t want to get older!

Kendall and Kylie Jenner are 19 and 17-years-old respectively, but they are already afraid of getting older. In an interview with The Sunday Times, they discussed their fear. “I’m scared of the day I turn 19. I really don’t want to grow past 18,” Kylie said. She then looked at Kendall and said, “You’ll be 20 this year – that’s crazy. And any second you’ll be, like, 21, 22, 23…”
Kendall showed just as much fear about the aging process. “It’s scary. Life is scary. It’s just scary to think how fast everything is rolling and you can’t stop it. It’s rolling right now. You see a picture and you’ve changed so much in a year,” she said. Considering how young they are right now, this type of fear seems completely irrational.
