welcome to the best of WatchMojo in this
series we’re turning back the clock to
show you some great early videos from
the channel that you might have missed
may they stay forever young wax on wax
off don’t forget to be I see them every
day still not enough
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
actors who look young for their age for
this list we’re focusing specifically on
male actors who inexplicably never seem
to get older sorry you feel that way but
basically it’s the nature of the beast
number 10
Rob Lowe don’t you give up on me we
could probably still get an annulment no
remember that slick TV producer with all
the hair gel from Wayne’s World I just
opened my mouth and out it came your
lucky man mister
well that was a late twenty’s Rob Lowe
and decades later he’s managed to retain
his relevancy in Direct TV ads and by
starring in Fox’s the grinder so clearly
now dad was a great lawyer you’re a
great lawyer
I became a character who’s a great
lawyer I should be doing it for real oh
and he’s yet to hit the distinguished
gray phase that someone like Alec
Baldwin has so wonderfully embraced cool
guy here mr. sexy pants no mr. Lowe
isn’t quite ready for the
salt-and-pepper and he’s still capable
of selling products and sitcoms with his
youthful looks alone scientists believe
that the first human being who will live
150 years has already been born I
believe I am that human being number
nine Paul Rudd I will see you there or I
will see you on another time no I’ll be
there it’s hard to be jealous of someone
with such a friendly visit but come on
Paul Rudd how do you do it
you care about me
[Music]
wasn’t it just yesterday that he and
Cher hooked up in clueless oh that was a
couple of decades ago
can I see actually three people are
allowed to look at this me myself and I
this guy’s been around so long that his
2001 film wet hot American summer
received a Netflix update nearly 15
years later check this out
Katie you gonna be around later yeah
cool
so my which clearly demonstrated that
Paul Rudd has a case of the Benjamin
buttons as he seems to be reversing in
age and what’s even more astonishing is
that he’s more hilarious than ever
ah nice lady shorts McKinley yeah I got
a pre mom’s dresser oh and then don’t
make fun of the guy who dresses my
mother number eight Jim Parsons let’s be
clear you probably don’t know this Texas
native from anything other than the Big
Bang Theory even if he’s been in the
entertainment industry since the early
2000s so Tim how long have you been
working at medieval times three years
but I’ve only been a knight for two you
have to pay your dues to pull off a
character like Sheldon Cooper one must
have that rare ability to remain forever
young both in appearance and spirit and
Jim Parsons has that special formula
what do you guys do for fun around here
well today we tried masturbating for
money in fact a large majority of his
fan base probably believes that he’s
actually the same guy from TV and while
that’s certainly not the truth the hand
if God has surely touched him since he
never seems to age I think
number seven Tom Cruise love him or hate
him Tom Cruise continues to handle his
business at the box office
decades after arriving on the scene how
come I was kind of a jerk why can’t we
have a hustle when I went because this
is better I mean there’s something at
the end of it in the mid 80s he was pool
sharking with Paul Newman and flying an
f-14a tomcat in Top Gun where did you
see this that’s classified and somewhere
along the line he decided that aging was
not an option
arigato oka buddy okay maybe he tweaked
his appearance here and there but the
fact remains that many older movie stars
don’t and can’t pull off their own
stunts case in point Mission Impossible
rogue nation Tom Cruise has stayed in
shape and that iconic face never seems
to change crazy right
great number six Tobey Maguire
[Music]
every so often tobey maguire decides to
make a movie and it kills at the box
office why well first of all he’s a
phenomenal actor but he’s also capable
of playing someone between the age of 14
and 30
even if he’s a bit older than that
believe it or not Maguire actually had
an uncredited role in the 1989 Fred
Savage film The Wizard which doesn’t
scientifically seem possible given that
he still likely has to flash his ID just
to buy a drink how old is Tobey Maguire
well no one knows for sure let’s just
say he may be the real Nick Carraway
number-5 Keanu Reeves are you guys were
you did
no way now here’s an actor that truly
understands how to maintain a moviestar
persona it’s all about the hair
think about it have you ever seen Keanu
Reeves without long hair if everybody
will stay in your seats and remain calm
we should be able to diffuse the problem
okay calm down mojo holics that’s a
hypothetical question but we can all
agree that long haired Keano is better
than short haired Keanu simply because
it means that he’ll continue to grace
the screen with his youthful presence no
he’s not the best actor of his
generation but he’s certainly one of the
most important and given his enduring
reputation as a timeless star there’s
plenty more Keanu to come
also how many actors do you know have
spawned an Internet campaign that tries
to gather evidence of his so-called
immortality and/or that he’s possibly a
vampire you are working again you know I
just sorted some stuff out I’ll leave
you be then number four Will Smith so
what’s the deal with this guy how does
one make gold records in the 80s conquer
TV in the 90s destroy the box office in
the 2000s and still managed to look like
a college student hold on
do you think we know the answer perhaps
it’s because Will Smith has kept the
exact same haircut and facial hair for a
good 25 years just do a google image
search and you’ll see what we mean
at this point a grizzled and bald-headed
Will Smith would only cause permanent
emotional damage to his rabid fan base
as they’ve become accustomed to his
clean-cut facade give me one reason why
I shouldn’t do it I’m drawing a blank
what I think you should shoot me let’s
be honest you’ve been agreed
number three samuel l.jackson you may
not realize it but this legendary actor
is actually 85 years old okay he’s not
but given his 100 plus acting credits it
seems like he’s been around since the
40s no no no no no you need to go but
here’s the thing even though he made his
film debut in 1972 people my stomach’s
been grumbling but help has arrived
my main man Mookie has saved the day
straight from Sal’s famous pizzeria up
the block samuel l.jackson didn’t become
a Hollywood name until he was close to
40 years of age and some diehard fans
may remember him as Eddie Murphy’s uncle
from the 1987 stand-up special Eddie
Murphy raw
he’s now recognized as one of the most
admired actors of his day and he
certainly paid his dues yet his greatest
accomplishment may be his victory over
father time oh I’m sorry did I break
your concentration I didn’t mean to do
that
please continue number two Jared Leto
hey I know that girl
Angela he was an ABC heartthrob in the
early 90s and upon growing at Jesus like
beard he went on to even bigger things
as the lead singer of thirty Seconds to
Mars
with a filmography containing modern
classics like Fight Club and American
Psycho I couldn’t tell you that
halberstrom but they don’t have to kill
you Jared Leto has established a
cinematic legacy and if you weren’t
convinced by 2013
he’s transformative and oscar-winning
role in Dallas buyers club sealed the
deal relax I don’t bite I guess you’re
handsome and a Texas hey quite dumb kind
of way only a select few can sport a
thick beard while keeping a youthful
vibe in when Jared Leto does shave his
thick mane he usually just looks like a
slightly older version of Jordan
Catalano I’m just gonna hurt you really
really before we unveil our number one
pick here are a few honorable mentions
there you are little grave bastard
oh dude I love it you killed it look I
say it slow for you look I need five
five thousand dollars read my lips
five thousand dollars is what I need
this is bullshit here
this guy’s the big-time criminal hey
what’s your say all right guys take it
easy
it’s totally qualified it’s been
arrested a bunch of times pays no income
tax he’s got two Doberman Pinschers so
let’s show them some respect oh that’s
very impressive told you man
[Music]
you don’t know shit about the ship we’re
in out here and neither do I never won
LL Cool J in the same year that James
Todd Smith released his debut album
radio he appeared in the Def Jam film
Krush groove and while he’s proven that
ladies do in fact love Cool J no one can
grasp the concept of his inability to
age but that song music’s biggest night
and I sho had to change no it’s not his
endless lip licking that does the trick
and probably not even his well-groomed
presence
[Music]
we’re gonna chalk it up to physical
fitness and hard work you were trying my
last nerve don’t make me drown your
father yes that’s right one can stay
young by taking care of oneself and with
one look at LL Cool J you can tell that
he’s lifted a dumbbell or two after all
you don’t need to be a movie star to buy
a gym membership
