Not all celebrities age the same and whether it be their looks, personality, or just the way they are perceived, most people are surprised to find out that these celebs are actually the same age. Often it is simply that they have not been in the public eye and therefore seem younger than they really are. Many celebrities look ten years younger than they actually are, and this could possibly be that it is because we only see them under the spotlight or in films. And this means that they go through hours of preparation to achieve that look. After all, it is their job to look the best they can for the role that they are playing. Celebrities spend months preparing for their roles and will go to great lengths to portray their characters exactly how they should be. It is almost impossible to believe each pair on this list is the same age, because each looks so different. Though there are some celebrities that just don't care about their appearance, probably because they are just that good at performing and no film production is exactly the same as the next.
7. MARGOT ROBBIE AND EMMA WATSON
Margot Robbie and Emma Watson are both age 27. This one may not be too surprising as both actresses appear similar in age. And their nationality may be a part of it too.
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born in Paris, France, to English parents, Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson, both lawyers. She moved to Oxfordshire when she was five, where she attended the Dragon School. From the age of six, Emma knew that she wanted to be an actress and, for a number of years, she trained at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, a part-time theatre school where she studied singing, dancing and acting.

From 2008-2010, Robbie played the character of Donna Freedman in the long-running Australian soap opera, Neighbours (1985), for which she was nominated for two Logie Awards.

5. SARAH HYLAND AND JENNIFER LAWRENCE
Jennifer Lawrence and Sarah Hyland are both age 27. Jennifer Lawrence looks gorgeous but definitely with an age beyond her years, almost like her Hunger Games character. While Meanwhile, Sarah Hyland just has a youthful look about her that might have something to do with the teenager she plays on television in Modern Family. With vastly different looks and the different tone of the characters they play, it is hard to imagine that these actresses are actually the same age.
Lawrence was the highest-paid actress in the world in 2015 and 2016. With her films grossing over $5.5 billion worldwide, Jennifer Lawrence is often cited as the most successful actor of her generation.

Gaining attention as a bright new star in Canadian television and movies, Michael realized his love for acting when he appeared on stage in The Shadow Box. At 18 he moved to Los Angeles and was offered a few television-series roles, but soon they stopped coming and he was surviving on boxes of macaroni and cheese.
