For most of us, life has never been kind. We may recall these celebs when they first appeared on TV, but they also experience hardships in life. No matter how much we avoid aging, we will all have to face it. As a result, we may not look as pretty as we were in our prime years. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. Many of these stars still have a successful career in showbiz even though their looks have changed. It’s proof that aging will not affect your talent. From Val Kilmer to Johnny Depp, here are some aging stars who are almost unrecognizable!

Val Kilmer began his career on stage before moving into acting. In 1983, he made his television debut in an ABC Afterschool Special, alongside a teenage Michelle Pfeiffer. By the end of the decade, he’d starred alongside Tom Cruise in Top Gun, and by the mid-1990s, Val Kilmer was deemed serious hot cash. In Oliver Stone’s blockbuster film about The Doors, he notably beat out INXS’ Michael Hutchence for the role of Jim Morrison. His performance in Heat with De Niro and Pacino is widely regarded as his best.

Although others have said that Val’s waistline has shrunk over the years, we think he still looks great for his era. Regrettably, he has vanished from the large and tiny screens. He shocked viewers with a sudden weight loss, stating on Twitter to be down to 165 pounds after years of gaining weight. Val’s career has come to an end. In reality, he’s been performing Citizen Twain, a one-person show written by him and starring only him. In 2012, he earned a Grammy Award for his spoken word work. Rumors of a Top Gun sequel may also serve as motivation to get back in shape. Val, you’re looking great!
