Let us face it. Life is hard for every single person on the planet regardless of our differences. Even celebrities are not immune to the ravages of time. Every single one of us goes through the aging process, but it is true that they have access to certain things that the average person does not. It is fair to expect famous people to take care of their appearance better than most. Sadly, these photos show us that this is not always the case. Some of these people got botched surgeries, but others simply failed to age like fine wine because of genetics and substance abuse. On the bright side, they must be glad that wealth and talent do not disappear as you grow older.

Before he made it big as a screen actor, Van Kilmer worked on stage projects. In 1983, he made his screen debut when he landed a role in ABC Afterschool Special opposite Michelle Pfeiffer. However, his true claim to fame was starring in Top Gun with Tom Cruise. By the ‘90s, he was one of the biggest stars around. He won over ‘80s pop star Michael Hutchence for the chance to portray Jim Morrison in the Oliver Stone movie about The Doors. Aside from that, he impressed us in Heat. He was able to keep up with the likes of Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro!

Other people think that his waistline has expanded too much, but we daresay that he looks good for his age. Sadly, it has been a long time since we saw him on the silver screen. He gained a sizeable amount of weight over the years, but he surprised everyone by turning it around. He took to Twitter to report that he has brought it back down to 165 pounds. His career is not over either. He has been starring in his own play, Citizen Twain. In 2012, he also brought home a Grammy. There have been rumors of a Top Gun sequel, so we can’t help but wonder if that has anything to do with his weight loss.
