9. Lies About Their Age: Geri Halliwell

Geri Halliwell was part of The Spice Girls in the 1990s and the girl group went on to become one of the biggest in the world until Geri decided to leave the group, which later lead to their split. Geri then had a not so successful solo career, before she went on to become an actress, author, and mother.

When Geri was first pushed into the spotlight in the 1990s as Ginger Spice, she claimed to be just 21 years old. Her Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham later slipped up in an interview and revealed that Geri was actually much older than she claimed to be and it was then revealed that Geri was in fact 25 years old. It seems that age is now just a number to Geri, who was recently part of The Spice Girls reunion and tour over the past few years and is a happy mother and wife at 45 years old.

8. Younger Than We Think: Abigail Breslin

Abigail Breslin is another star who has been in the public eye for so many years that now there is a debate about how old she actually is. Abigail first came onto the scene in the film Signs, which was released back in 2002 when Abigail was just five years old.

She has since appeared in more than 30 films over the past 15 years, as well as releasing an album and starring in numerous TV shows. Abigail had a busy childhood and like many child stars from the early 2000s, she was forced to grow up in the public eye in a world where technology was just developing. Because of how early Abigail stepped into the business, it is hard to believe that she is another star that was born in the 1990s and is now just 21 years old. The talented star looks set to have an incredible career over the next few decades, since she has already laid a strong foundation during her childhood years.

7. Lies About Their Age: Rebel Wilson

Rebel Wilson has become a star all over the world after her role in the Pitch Perfect saga, but Rebel has always been private about her life outside of the public eye. Ever since she rose to fame, Rebel has always refused to reveal her real name or her real age.

This was going great for her until one of her former school friends decided to go to the tabloids in 2015. They revealed everything that we needed to know about the comedian. It seems that Rebel’s real name is Elizabeth Melanie Bownds and her real age is actually 36 and not 29 like she had been claiming for a number of years. Her real birth year was revealed as 1980 and not 1986, as she had claimed a few years earlier. Rebel seemingly took this in stride and later tweeted that she was really a 100-year-old mermaid.
