Hollywood is full of surprises, but one of the most shocking comes when you discover that some of your favorite stars, who look worlds apart, are actually the same age.

From comedians to action stars, here are a few pairs and trios that will make you look twice.

Steve Carell & Tom Cruise – 63 years

It’s hard to believe that Steve Carell, known for his role in The Office, is the same age as Tom Cruise, the action hero who continues to play his role in Mission: Impossible films.

Carell’s salt-and-pepper beard and dad-like charm make him seem older, while Cruise still pulls off high-speed stunts that could fool anyone into thinking he’s younger.

Daniel Radcliffe & Elizabeth Olsen – 36 years

Daniel Radcliffe looks so ageless. Fans watched him grow up from the Harry Potter series. Moreover, the 36-year-old actor still looks like he is in his twenties.

On the other hand, Elizabeth Olsen looks older than Daniel, known for her role in the MCU Avengers as Scarlet Witch.

Her role carries a more mature presence. Yet, both are 36, proving that childhood roles can really play tricks on how old we think actors are.

Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Bill Skarsgård & Nicholas Hoult – 35 years

This trio might be the most surprising of all. Thomas Brodie-Sangster often gets cast as a teen or young adult thanks to his boyish looks.

While Bill Skarsgård looks more masculine and older than Thomas.

The 35-year-old actor played terrifying roles such as Pennywise the Clown in the IT franchise, Count Orlok in Nosferatu, and Eric Draven in The Crow.

However, Nicholas Hoult looks older than both actors and has balanced blockbuster roles in X-Men with period dramas.

Pedro Pascal & Johnny Galecki – 50 years

Pedro Pascal, recognized as the internet's "favorite dad" for The Mandalorian and The Last of Us, has a rugged charm that makes him look younger than his age.

Meanwhile, Johnny Galecki, best known as Leonard from The Big Bang Theory, often comes across as younger because of his sitcom background.

Paul Rudd & Ice Cube – 56 years

Paul Rudd has long carried the title of “ageless wonder” in Hollywood, thanks to his youthful looks and easy-going roles in comedies and Marvel films.

Ice Cube, on the other hand, is known for his serious presence in rap and his commanding roles on screen.

At 56, the two could not seem more different, yet they share the same birth year.
