6. Younger Than We Think: Meghan Trainor

Meghan Trainor became a worldwide star back in 2013 when she released “All About That Bass.” Over the past four years, Meghan has become a household name and even won a Grammy Award for Best Artist last year, as well as the Music Business Association’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year accolade and two Billboard Music Awards.

Trainor began actively pursuing a career as a singer when she was just 15 years old but finally broke onto the scene when she was 19 after years of dedication to her craft. Meghan confessed that she doesn’t care that she looks “unconventionally” beautiful – she just enjoys making music. Despite her controversial comments when it comes to eating disorders a few years ago, Meghan has managed to get her fan base back on her side and is looking to release her third album in the next year, which is quite an achievement for someone who is just 23 years old.

5. Lies About Their Age: Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock is a Hollywood star who has been in many films, including Miss Congeniality and The Blind Side. Despite her obvious success over the past few decades, Sandra is also another addition to this list because she thought she needed to lie about her age in order to be cast in a role she really wanted.

In a shocking twist, Bullock actually lied to say she was older than she was when she wanted the role in Love Potion back in 1992. She stated that she was 29 years old when in fact she was only 27 at the time. She later confessed that she told herself that she would never lie for a role, but she thought she needed to this one time and it actually worked against her. Now she has reached a point where she would rather keep them guessing. Sandra is now one of the most successful female actors in the world and looks absolutely incredible at 53 years old.

4. Younger Than We Think: KJ Apa

KJ Apa is without a doubt one of the biggest heartthrobs on the popular Netflix show Riverdale. He is also known for his lead role in A Dogs Purpose, which was released in cinema’s last year. KJ plays one of the lead roles in Riverdale alongside the likes of Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart.

Because the characters that KJ is surrounded by are all over 20 years old (Cole is 25 years old and Lili is 21), many fans of the show believe that the actor behind Archie Andrews is much older than he actually is. The facial hair doesn’t do him any favours either, but despite this misconception, it seems that KJ was only born in June 1997, which means that he has recently turned 20 years old. This means that during the entire first season and most of the second season of Riverdale, Apa was still a teenager.
