Have you ever noticed that no matter how many years pass, some celebrities just seem to never change? It’s like they are drinking from the fountain of youth or something. Well here is a list of 9 celebrities that look the exact same than they did when they were younger.
09. Kyra Sedgwick
On the left she is aged 17, on the right she is aged 41. (Age difference: 24 years)
08. Jared Leto
On the left he is aged 23, on the right he is aged 38. (Age difference: 15 years)
07. Halle Berry
On the left she is aged 32, on the right she is aged 43. (Age difference: 11 years)
06. Keanu Reeves
On the left he is aged 29, on the right he is aged 43. (Age difference: 14 years)
05. Shemar Moore
On the left he is aged 24, on the right he is aged 40. (Age difference: 16 years)

Edward Norton dropped out of reprising his role as The Hulk and since they are going to make another movie here is a list of 12 actors who could end up taking over for Norton.
12. Paul Rudd
Rudd has been insanely likeable in so many comedies over the last few years, we’d love to see him step up to the blockbuster plate.
Incredible Hulk?: Rudd could definitely convince as Banner, bringing a lighter touch to the role than his forebears Bana and Norton.
Hulk Smash: We just can’t imagine Rudd getting angry. Ever.
11. Jon Hamm
TV’s Mad Men has gained Hamm small-screen fame and acting plaudits aplenty, but he’s yet to have a standout film role. Joining The Avengers could be the perfect opportunity to repeat his success on the big screen.
Incredible Hulk?: As Don Draper, Hamm has had plenty of experience dealing with repressed anger.
Hulk Smash: We wouldn’t want anything to conflict with his chance of being cast as Superman in that upcoming reboot.
10. Daniel Craig
With Bond on a seemingly endless hiatus, Craig is currently looking for projects to fill his schedule with.
Incredible Hulk?: He’s no stranger to carrying a high-stakes franchise on his shoulders, and has proved he’s not afraid of rebooting a well-known character in Casino Royale.
Hulk Smash: Taking on two iconic characters can be tricky, and fans might just reject the idea of James Bond hulking out.
9. Timothy Olyphant
Olyphant’s lower-rung level of fame would probably help him slip into a role previously inhabited by Eric Bana and Ed Norton. Come to think about it, he kinda resembles a morph of the two actors.
Incredible Hulk?: TV roles in Deadwood and Justified show Olyphant can really act when required, and he also did a decent job in the better-than-it-should-have-been remake of The Crazies.
Hulk Smash: Olyphant’s previous blockbuster efforts, Die Hard 4.0 and Hitman, have been pretty awful. Perhaps he should stick to quality telly instead.
8. Andy Serkis
The world starting taking notice of mocap acting after Serkis’ CG-augmented performance as Gollum/Smeagol in The Lord of the Rings. He’s also taken advantage of plenty of opportunities to show off his skills as flesh actor
Incredible Hulk?: It’d be exciting to see what mocap king Serkis could do as the green, musclebound lunk.
Hulk Smash: Hobbit commitments could see Serkis called away at any point, should the production get a green light.
7. Mark Ruffalo
Mark Ruffalo has been consistently providing great support in various ace films for so long (Eternal Sunshine, Collateral, Zodiac, Shutter Island), he deserves a shot at an iconic lead role.
Incredible Hulk?: Looks wise, Ruffalo would be an awesome match for the comics’ Bruce Banner.
Hulk Smash: Ruffalo been showing his directorial debut Sympathy for Delicious at various festivals, so he might not be available for superhero shenanigans.
6. Ryan Gosling
Gosling was gathering serious acclaim as his generation’s best actor in film’s like The Believer and Half Nelson. Leaving The Lovely Bones meant things went a bit quiet for a while, but he’s back with a bang in astounding drama Blue Valentine.
Incredible Hulk?: He would make for a fascinatingly conflicted Bruce Banner, ensuring you’d feel the big guy’s angst and anger.
Hulk Smash: We’re not sure we could see Gosling interested in a summer tentpole of this size, and he may not be the commercial investment Marvel would be after.
5. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Shaking off the ‘that kid out of 3rd Rock from the Sun’ tag, Gordon-Levitt has been building up an increasingly impressive body of film work, including a key role Nolan’s Inception.
Incredible Hulk?: J G-L’s got the same mix of indie cred, lady-slaying charm and genuine acting ability that Robert Downey Jr brought to Iron Man.
Hulk Smash: He’s rumoured to be up for a role in Batman 3, which might see him out of the running here. And he could be just a little too young-looking for Bruce Banner.
4. David Duchovny
The actor formerly known as Fox Mulder was rumoured to be in contention for the Banner role in The Incredible Hulk before Norton was cast. He could really do with a hit, after the disappointment of the second X-Files movie, and the lacklustre reception given to The Joneses.
Incredible Hulk?: There’s no doubting Duchovny can act, and his days in The X-Files earnt him a cult following.
Hulk Smash: Could his ongoing TV role in Californication get in the way? Perhaps he’s just better suited to the small screen.
3. Adrien Brody
Brody won an Oscar for his role in Holocaust drama The Pianist, but the serious thesp has since flexed his action muscles in King Kong and Predators.
Incredible Hulk?: Brody bulked up impressively for Predators, and his role in Splice proves he can wear a lab coat with conviction.
Hulk Smash: The CGI Hulk normally takes on some of the Banner actor’s facial features, and we just can’t see Hulk with Adrien’s massive hooter.
2. Sharlto Copley
Copley had virtually no acting experience (he worked in production and did a bit of directing) before Neill Blomkamp cast him as the lead in District 9. His performance was one of the surprises of last year, and he’s also going to be seen half-inching scenes from this summer’s The A-Team as ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock.
Incredible Hulk?: Copley knows how to bring humanity to an effects-heavy blockbuster, and is familiar with undergoing bodily transformation.
Hulk Smash: Would the role put be too similar to D9′s Wikus for the chameleon-like Copley?
1. Joaquin Phoenix
No sooner had Ed Norton been unceremoniously dissociated from the role than early online rumours were speculating that JQ could be in the running for the job.
Incredible Hulk?: He could certainly pull of the troubled, hounded Bruce Banner in his sleep, and after his wilderness period, The Avengers would be the perfect big-scale blockbuster to put him back on the movie map.
Hulk Smash: We’re not sure we want Hulk to try to reinvent himself as a rapper, however hilarious the consequences.
If I had to choose one of these then I would opt for Timothy Olyphant. Who would you want to take on the role?
You know those Hollywood men that drive women crazy and drive us men crazy for a very different reason because they are rich and just all around perfect? Well here is a list of some Hollywood guys that we actually love as much as women do because they actually seem like they would be fun to hang out with, well in my opinion anyway.
1. George Clooney
George Clooney is the quintessential guy’s guy. Not only is he popular with the ladies, but he’s into practical jokes, always seems in control and he likes fast cars and motorcycles. In Ocean’s 11, he made every guy want to be part of his crew, and on the red carpet he makes men think about how cool they would look in a tuxedo.
2. Leonardo Dicaprio
In 1998, after starring in the guy-Krypton Oscar winner Titanic, Leo’s cherubic face was plastered across teeny bopper magazines that ruined his rep with everyday bros. Thanks to some judicious role selection and a three-movie run with Martin Scorcese, Leonardo has since redeemed himself in the eyes of guys everywhere.
3. Denzel Washington
Ever since he came on the scene with his breakout role in the 1983 movie Cry Freedom, Denzel Washington has been walking the line between swoon-worthy hunk and politically-aware intellectual. Along the way, Denzel landed in movies like Training Day and American Gangster that showed just how badass this intellectual hunk can be.
4. James Franco
It might be his self-deprecating sense of humor or the fact that Judd Apatow just makes him seem so damn likeable, but for whatever reason James Franco transcends heartthrob status and is in with the guys. Sure he was named “Sexiest Man Living” by Salon.com, but he was also hilarious in the guy-centric Pineapple Express.
5. Robert Redford
Robert Redford may be past his full-on hunk days, but he still pulls off a rugged sense of cool that’s been much-emulated and rarely achieved. It helps his status with guys that he made probably the best buddy cowboy movie ever with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
6. Jon Hamm
It’s hard to believe that Jon Hamm’s breakout role in Mad Men came just three years ago. Since then, Jon has hosted Saturday Night Live twice and landed on both People and Salon.com’s lists of sexiest men. But don’t confuse him with his alter ego. Jon is quick to warn people off looking up to Don Draper too much and says he’s actually nothing like the brooding leading man.
7. Benicio del Toro
Benicio del Toro has said he doesn’t see himself as a hunk and he doesn’t know why he ends up on lists like these, but admits he’s always been popular with the ladies. His roles in guy favorites like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Sin City, have helped make him a hit on both sides of the gender divide.
8. Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt is the cool guy that guys want to hang out with. Sure he’d probably always win the attention of the hottest girl in the room, but he’d also be a really awesome wingman. Brad won over the ladies first in Legends of the Fall, but by the time he played Tyler Durden in Fight Club, the guys couldn’t resist. He gets bonus points with guys for growing ill-conceived facial hair.
9. Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp is a one-of-a-kind cultural anomoly. He’s spent the better part of his career enjoying full-on heartthrob status. He’s flirted with androgyny. He spends about half his time in France and has insulted the United States in interviews. And still he’s adored by guys and girls alike. How could this be? Simple. Guys love pirates.
10. Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey, Jr. has some serious demons in his past, but that just seems to give him character. Not only is he the guy that guys would love to party with, he’s the guy whose stories would actually be interesting. He’s got a cocky attitude that works for him somehow, leading future co-star Chris Evans to remark, “I don’t think anybody tells Downey what to do, and that’s what makes [him] Downey.”
11. Jamie Foxx
Jamie Foxx has shamelessly played up his lady’s man status throughout his career, and while the way he’s pandered to the audience doesn’t earn him cool points, somehow it hasn’t hurt him either. Jamie got an inexplicable Mike Tyson-like head tattoo, he’s trotted out his Oscar-winning Ray Charles impression more than once for pop music, and yet he’s still cool enough to get Ron Howard to show up in his music video.
12. Paul Rudd
Look at his resume and you’ll quickly realize Paul Rudd has one of the coolest filmographies in Hollywood. He had his breakout in the 1995 chick flick Clueless, and more recently he starred alongside Jason Segal in I Love You, Man, which is basically how guys feel when they see him play his everybro schtick for laughs on the big screen.
13. Justin Timberlake
Sure he got his start making teenage girls scream with N*Sync, but with the help of a haircut, some snappy clothes, and a “D— in a Box,” J.T. successfully reinvented his image as guy friendly.
14. Alec Baldwin
How do you win over guys and girls alike? Being good looking and hilarious has worked out for Alec Baldwin. Tina Fey saved his career, but before 30 Rock, Alec’s mix of charm and quick wit was cracking up SNL fans with sketches like his classic “Schweddy Balls.
Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, and Hugh Laurie really took home the box office gold this weekend with their new cartoon movie, “Monsters Vs. Aliens“. The movie brought in a whopping $58,200,000 in it’s first week on the charts.
Rainn Wilson stars as the voice of Gallaxhar, an alien who lands on Earth and wants to take it over. The military decides to send in the monsters to take him out.
The movie has an all-star cast: Will Arnett as The Missing Link, Kiefer Sutherland as General W.R. Monger, Reese Witherspoon as Susan Murphy/Ginormica, Hugh Laurie as Dr. Cockroach, Seth Rogen as B.O.B., Paul Rudd as Derek Dietl, Stephen Colbert as President Hathaway, Amy Poehler as the voice of the computer, Renee Zellweger as Katie, and John Krasinski as Cuthbert.
Rounding out the top five box office contenders this weekend were “The Haunting In Connecticut” in the second spot with $23,010,000, “Knowing” in third place with $14,705,000, “I Love You, Man” taking fourth place with $12,600,000, and finally, “Duplicity” bringing in $7,556,000.
Nicolas Cage’s new movie, “Knowing” really took off this weekend with the box office gold at a $24,814,000 take this weekend. While it’s not the best showing, it knocked “Race To Witch Mountain” out of the top spot.
Coming in second place was the movie that I thought would take the top rankings in the charts, “I Love You, Man“. The Paul Rudd/Jason Segel comedy, brought in $18,005,000 in the second spot.
Taking third place this weekend was Julia Roberts’ and Clive Owen’s “Duplicity” with $14,402,000 in ticket sales. In fourth place on the charts was “Race To Witch Mountain“, which brought in $13,004,000 in it’s second week. “Watchmen” brought in $6,725,000 in it’s third week.
The movie is about a professor who stumbles on terrifying predictions about the future from a time capsule that’s been in the ground for fifty years, and sets out to prevent the events from happening.
