Nobody can predict exactly how they will age. It is something that happens to every single person on the planet, and there are a host of different factors that affect whether we age well, or poorly. Many people have skewed expectations of how they will age, especially because Hollywood likes to do what it can to hide the blemishes and wrinkles of its biggest starts. Although some celebrities spend a lot of money trying to reverse the aging process with cosmetic surgeons, there is no guarantee that it will help in the long run. There’s something to be said for aging gracefully over the years, and embracing old age as a new chapter in life. As these older and newer snaps prove, aging can be seen right across the board on even the best of days.

All these years later, Val Kilmer’s physical appearance has gone through a tremendous transformation. People agree that he hasn’t aged all too badly, especially as a result of his more recent dramatic weight loss, which saw him dropping over 150 pounds. Kilmer is no longer the busy actor that he used to be, and has found success for his spoken word projects in more recent years. In 2012, one of these creative projects earned him a Grammy award for his efforts.
