Larenz TateAge: 38
Age-Defying Secret: In a recent interview on Vh1’s “Jarvis in the Elevator,” after an ambush by the host Larenz opened up about what’s been on all of our minds (at least those of us who saw the BET Awards this year or are following him on Instagram). How in the hell does he look exactly the same as he did 20 years ago in Menace II Society? “I tell people I got vampire blood running through my veins,” he joked. “I come from a long history of vampires. They don’t age. After 25, they just say stop it.”

Mario Lopez Age: 40
Age-Defying Secret: He found access to a time warp and is still secretly holding on to his A.C. Slater persona? Okay, maybe that’s a bit much. It’s no secret, though, that Mario is a workout king. With a great exercise and diet routine, it’s only natural that he still looks 20.

PharrellAge: 41
Age-Defying Secret: Dear Pharrell, we’re on to you. When you first premiered the hat, it was all fun and memes. But the fact that you keep wearing them to every event, while managing to reverse the age continuum with each day…yeah, you’re not fooling any of us, Skateboard P.

Phylicia RashadAge: 66
Age-Defying Secret: If you have any sense of what good television looks like, you’ve seen The Cosby Show. (If you haven’t, shame on you). Clair Huxtable, played by Phylicia Rashad, was known for her sassy, but composed quips and her no-nonsense attitude wrapped up in a classy, graceful demeanor. She was someone you could learn a lot from. And clearly this air of knowingness is a part of Phylicia as well, because it’s obvious that she knows a thing a two about staying young and doing so with the utmost grace. Her secret: when you got it, you just got it.

Bianca LawsonAge: 35
Age-Defying Secret: Bianca Lawson has been playing a highschooler for over two decades now. From Saved by the Bell to Sister, Sister, The Steve Harvey Show and most recently Pretty Little Liars, it seems as if Bianca doesn’t want to let go of her adolescence. That’s gotta be her secret. You are what you profess, and as an eternal teen on screen, she’ll probably forever appear to be a young'n off screen.

Tyson BeckfordAge: 43
Age-Defying Secret: It seems as if added years have equated to added sexiness for supermodel Tyson Beckford. Twenty-two years after he was first recruited to model in The Source, Beckford hasn’t aged a bit. He attributes healthy eating (staying away from sugars, red meats and alcohol, and restricting himself to mostly seafood and vegetables), 600 sit-ups, and 200 to 1000 push-ups daily to keeping his model physique in tact. It should come as no surprise, then, that he’s been able to defy the laws of aging.

Salma HayekAge: 47
Age-Defying Secret: No need to guess with this one. In an interview with Healthy Hollywood last year, Salma laid out five steps for age defying skin, which included applying green tea gel under your eyes in the a.m. and using creams with the ingredients tepezchouite (a Mexican plant). Whatever you say, Salma!

Sanaa LathanAge: 42
Age-Defying Secret: Maybe it’s a bit far-fetched, but hear us out. Here’s how we picture it: Sanaa made a deal with the devil and played him in a game of one-on-one for 42 more years of flawless skin. The game got pretty intense until she beat him with a last minute slam-dunk. Guess all isn’t fair in beauty and basketball.

Naomi CampbellAge: 44
Age-Defying Secret: There’s a recurring theme here: diet and exercise can work wonders when it comes to aging well. For world-renowned supermodel, Naomi Campbell, things are no different. In April’s issue of Shape, the notorious diva explained, "I don't believe in starving myself. I've never done it, and I never will. I'm even more active when I'm juicing, doing both yoga and Pilates every day," all of which she attributes to her anti-aging.

Lucy LiuAge: 45
Age-Defying Secret: Whether fighting bad guys in Charlie’s Angels or competing in possibly the dopest battle of baddies ever recorded, in Kill Bill, Lucy Liu has proven that she's a true badass. She carries this no-bull persona with her as she practices Pilates, and as she diets, both of which she attributes to helping her stay young.

Gwen StefaniAge: 44
Age-Defying Secret: We’re convinced her fly ass fashion sense is what keeps her young. It’s the only logical explanation why she so effortlessly rocks her edgy tomboy chic wardrobe while looking like an eternal 20-something…That, or the fact that she’s a rich girl (na na na na na…) and probably has access to some of the best nutritionists and beauty specialists money can afford.

Halle BerryAge: 47
Age Defying Secret: Confidence is key. The way you feel inside has a way of translating externally. In a 2011 interview with Vogue, Halle explained that confidence comes with age—the older she’s gotten, the more she’s learned to love herself. “If the world wouldn't persecute me, I'd take nude pictures every day of the week," she said. I’m sure the world wouldn’t mind that one bit.

Eva MendesAge: 40
Age Defying Secret: Some were stunned by the recent news that Eva Mendes is pregnant at age 40 with her reported ex-boo Ryan Gosling. The forties are often a time when women’s reproductive systems slow down. Hell, Eva and Ryan even joked that they were caught off guard when they found out they would be having a little one. According to Radar Online, a friend of the two explained, “it was completely unplanned.”
Eva seems to be defying biology all around. Her secret: "I just drink a glass of water with some squeezed lemon juice in it before I go to bed and after I wake up,” she said in a 2011 issue of Vogue India. “I think water is the best product for the skin, and I can really see the results on mine."

ImanAge: 59
Age Defying Secret: When she was asked by Harper’s Bazaar about her age-defying secret, the groundbreaking supermodel spilled that she uses one product to help with wrinkles: Patricia Wexler M.D. Intensive Deep Wrinkle Treatment with MMPI-20 everyday. To still look like such a goddess, she’s got to be holding back. We’re still speculating on what’s really going on with Iman, and once we find out, we want all parts.

Jennifer LopezAge: 45
Age Defying Secret: The Boricua baddie is still Jenny from the block, and we’re convinced that this sense of self has helped her in the long run. Hollywood can be a hot mess filled with stress, which can age anybody. Maybe J. Lo’s eternal connection to her Bronx background has kept her young at heart, which permeates throughout her bangin' body and silky smooth skin.

Jared LetoAge: 42
Age Defying Secret: While Morgan Freeman plays the voice of God, Jared Leto has clearly been touched by Jesus. We dare you to look at a painting of Jesus next to a photo of Jared Leto. They’re one and the same. And, yeah…Jesus is ageless.
