There are a lot of people who don't visibly age much in their 30s 40s

Prince was one, but you could see that he was aging in the last 10 yrs

Prince was up at night a lot. For humans night time aft midnight is usually our sleep time.
Late night shows and up in the studio can have advers affects on you health.

There are many periods where you could see his age, when he didn't have his 'face' on

Quoted for emphasis.

The idea that Prince never aged is a myth.

Prince was beautiful at any age but......

I agree with whoever said he started to age the last 10 years or so. Many people do once they hit early to mid 50's...nowadays, 30's and even 40's you can get away with looking 10-15 yrs younger than you are if you take care of yourself--which i do, and i've been fortunate as well to not look like i'm in my 40's and yes genes are a factor as well.

Is that a little gray above his ear? I also saw a picture where he had dyed his hair medium brown, I think from 2010...it was not a good look for him and aged him. Yes, puffy face in this picture or perhaps some weight gain. He seemed to be aging very gracefully and didn't appear to be fighting it.

I'll be 51 this year, have a son who will be turning 31 this year, and I get told all the time that I do not look old enough to have a son that old. Actually, today, I showed some women I was training today my picture of the day after the Atlanta concerts, while I was working, and they said, "You do know you look like you're around 20 in this picture?" I had just told them I was 50.

He was indoors a lot and out of the sun.

Oh yes, my kid definitely aged me well beyond my 42 years. I look at least 60.

Fuck off, you look early 30's, maximum.

In that photo, his cheeks look like my daughter's did, when she started taking steroids (prednisone, used to fight immune-system disorders). For some reason, you initially get puffiness in your checks which later goes down.
rednisone also suppresses your immune system, and we know that it was stated Prince was on some sort of drug that did the same thing.

Prince could have been on one of the many steroid-related arthritis drugs; in my daughter's case, she takes prednisone as part of her anti-rejection regimen.

it seems like he looked just as youthful and kept his good skin through all the years. Really amazing. I rarely see anything like this. I have some ideas but want to ask you all what you think the reason is he hardly aged if at all.

Star jumps.

Just saw prince's buddy and he looks very young as well lenny k is kinda thin though.

I am 31 and I don't look my age either. People think I am in my early twenties.

well that's 3121 for you! All life is a trampoline - we all jump at the same speed - you have to consider the point at which one grows into a sense of self reflection and outward projection: At what point am I learning or teaching? Everybody is naturally the same age, it is the body's own feedback loops which determines the age of body and mind.

In a way, the 2014 Robocop remake wasn't a complete waste of time! Although it feels like your blood has been replaced by expanded polystyrene

Black does not crack. I'm 26 and somebody thought I was 19-21 the other day

I'm not black though, and apparently looked 20 when I'm 50. Maybe I have a black ancestor?? (which is probably close to the truth for all of us!) So I'll accept that statement and say, "it's maybe in my genes somewhere therefore, black does not crack!" *blush*

And I have 3 kids. So that rules out that theory. And trust me when I say my daughter is giving me wrinkles and gray hair - hmm, okay, so maybe that theory is back in. My sons were easy. My 12 year old daughter is going to be the end of me.

I'm 26 and everyone thinks my Mom is my sister. She's in her 50's. Doesn't help that we look just alike, guess I know I'll age just fine

I can look at both these pictures all day. But the lips really do make me smh and giggle.

JustErin said:

So literally no one looks their age.

I do.

I'll admit it.
