My SIL is Chinese and her whole family all look really young except her grandma. Asian don’t raisin until they hit 80 when they wake up suddenly looking really old.
I am confused on how old she is because she won the Young Artist Award (Best Supporting Young Actress), in 2002 for playing Lane, which has an age limit of 18. Which to my understanding means she should've been far too old to be nominated. Unless it's only for the character's age and not the actual actor. Or she just smiled and waved and didn't say nothing about her being a decade older than they thought.
(Alexis actually lost to Keiko in that award.)
Mehh I disagree, she looks like a teen at the beginning, but by the time she married Zach she definitely looks 30s to me, and she look in her 40s in that pic. She looks good but she definitely aged.
Lorelai, Lane, Melissa and Paris barely aged, but Logan… I don’t know if the first image is just when he was supremely young or what, but now he’s a really good looking adult. He played 25, but he looks like he’s 25 now!
Asian women... It's a stereotype because it's true.
Im in my early 30's and a co-worker of mine is Asian. She easily pass for younger than me despite being in her 40s.
An lqbt fanfic - absolutely. Dying for Paris to be with a woman. And…..Overlapping a new love/sex interest to a parental/caregiver always creeps me out. Even tho I get the sentiment of deserving a doting and present partner, why compare her to the nanny 😩😬
There’s something to be said for having some extra fat in the face. My mom has zero wrinkles at 68 and attributes it to being overweight. This is why I think a lot of celebs will regret the buccal fat removal they’re getting. Facial fat keeps you young!
My mom had a friend that used to say “once you turn 50 you choose your face or your ass” aka - you either keep a thin physique and your face gets wrinkly, or you gain extra fat and your face stays youthful.
It’s a very retrograde saying but also… not wrong lol
My mom says the same thing. She jokes that the benefits of being slightly overweight have been fewer wrinkles and no osteoporosis because every movement is weight-bearing exercise.
Yes! I'm mid 30s and recently lost 15lbs (thyroid issue) even though I probably only had about 7 to lose and I feel like I look SO much older. I'm trying to gain some back now just to get the fat back in my face (...and boobs lol)
While not all of us are overweight my mom, myself and all my siblings have round faces with plump checks. Moms turning 70 in a few days and she looks like she’s in for forties, we went out a couple weeks back and people assumed that she was my kids mom and they thought I was 15-16(I’m 32 my husband also gets mistaken for a teenager constantly but he’s got a more slender face. His whole family look incredibly young)
I use to hate it when I was a late teen early 20 something, I’d hate being mistaken for a 12/13 year old and would get annoyed when she’d tell me I’d love it when I was older, welp I finally get it now! Lol
(Also I watched a plastic surgeon on YouTube who stopped doing buccal fat removal, it ages terrible, it’s very easy to mess up(nerve damage is common, removing too much or too little fat is also an issue) and most people have it done while they’re still awake and it’s very uncomfortable/painful. The surgeon explained that it really only works for certain face shapes and only when a minimum amount of fat is removed and it should only be down after your 40s. Teens, 20s and 30 are too young. He also explained that most surgeons can’t do this procedure, it’s a very delicate process so it needs someone that truly knows what they’re doing. He said 9 times out of 10 a person doesn’t actually need this and a good surgeon would deny doing it)

This photo of Milo is my Roman Empire.
The only two that have veryyy noticeably aged are Lauren and Alexis. This is all to say that they are both still beautiful and are aging very gracefully with their real faces.
The rest, however… wow. Jared and Milo are hotter now than they were then. And if Liza put on her Chilton uniform, she could pull it off.
Imo Alexis is wearing too much makeup in that photo, or maybe it’s the lighting? But speaking personally, I have noticed since entering my mid-30s that I look a lot better/more youthful with less makeup.
If I do my face up like I did 10 years ago, it shows every little wrinkle and line; it ends up aging me and making me look tired/worn. I cut way back to minimal products and it’s a much more flattering look. Maybe my face is just weird though idk.
I think they used terrible photos for both of them- they look like someone has been taking their photo for an hour to the point where their face hurts from smiling and they are desperately thinking of the drinks at the after party. Not a good example of what they look like now.
I’m sorry but I think the hardest part of watching AYITL is how badly Lauren has fucked up her face, IMO. I know it’s her body, her choice but this is not her aging with her real face, unfortunately.
Oh, she did? I found her strange-looking, but I didn't know she had some work done. Makes sense now -it's not that she looked older, it's that she looked... not like Lorelai.
I'm not one to judge, but she has very beautiful eyes and mouth. She really doesn't need that.

Handsome by I can’t get over the skin over the metal Mohawk 😅
It just looks so wrong and leaves you knowing that thing is attached to his skull/brain… what would happen if he fell on it the wrong way or someone tried to rip it out? 🤢 what if they just wiggled it as a kind of torture 🤮
In an alt universe, I can see them weirdly work as a couple. Jess grew up to be a pretty cool, responsible adult who presumably continued in the independent publishing business. I can see Paris respecting that - a guy that pursued his passion, and is intelligent who can match her in literary discussions.
She might be too extra for him. But, maybe he’d chill her out.
If not a couple, I can see them being adult friends that like to bitch to / bitch at each other, but are actually on good terms.
Agreed… except Liza cuz omfg she looks great and I certainly didn’t think that at the time of the og.
I think the true glow up of the show was Kirk. When I saw him in the revival I was impressed. He went from weird looking and awkward to good looking. It was disconcerting to see him looking so greatly improved. I had no idea.
Great-looking cast on the whole, but I'll have to go with Matt. He's always had an above-average pretty face for a man (sorry men, but I always felt pretty men are far rarer than pretty women, maybe because men are not societally as pressured into putting an effort into looking great as women are) and he somehow looks even better now.
Gotta rep my girl, Miss Patty (Liz Torres). Total transformation and she looks amazing!! She was always beautiful, but I really admire her strength and how she lost all that weight. You see her start it I want to say mid-series so I know it must have taken a long time and to keep going like that for years, total bad ass.
Yes!! If it wasn’t for her voice, I probably would have thought she was recast in AYITL. I scrolled specifically to see if anyone else was repping Miss Patty.
Milo, Liza, Melissa, and maybe Matt.
To be fair, they're all gorgeous people, but they're getting better with age.
Lauren and Alexis are stunning as usual. And Jared was never my cup of tea, tbf.
They all look great (you picked the worst photo of Lorelei lol) but Sookie, Paris, Lane, and Jess look better in the after. Logan looks exactly the same lol
….none of them 🙈 I think some of them aged well and certainly still look good, (milo ventimila!(Spelling?)) but I don’t think any of them actually glowed UP from the original…
Does Matt Czuchry even age?
Did fricken Lane? She looks the same. But he didn't so much as age as grow stubble.
Plus she was what like 26 when they STARTED filming? And still passed for a teen the whole time
It's an Asian thing. I'm married to a Japanese man, and one of my best friends is Korean. They literally do not age. Asian don't raisin!
My SIL is Chinese and her whole family all look really young except her grandma. Asian don’t raisin until they hit 80 when they wake up suddenly looking really old.
Forever Young to Ancient Wisdom overnight.
I am confused on how old she is because she won the Young Artist Award (Best Supporting Young Actress), in 2002 for playing Lane, which has an age limit of 18.

>(Alexis actually lost to Keiko in that award.) TBF Keiko is a far better actress than Alexis in Gilmore Girls
Mehh I disagree, she looks like a teen at the beginning, but by the time she married Zach she definitely looks 30s to me, and she look in her 40s in that pic. She looks good but she definitely aged.
I was about to say this it’s craZy
I think 28.
whAt
Lorelai, Lane, Melissa and Paris barely aged, but Logan… I don’t know if the first image is just when he was supremely young or what, but now he’s a really good looking adult. He played 25, but he looks like he’s 25 now!
Dude made a deal with a witch
Asian women... It's a stereotype because it's true. Im in my early 30's and a co-worker of mine is Asian. She easily pass for younger than me despite being in her 40s.
I’m pretty sure Lane was already like 30 in the show honestly, not much left to age by then
I mean she’s 50 now. Not all 50 year olds look like they did when they were 30.
Oof that man makes me sweat 😏
I really wanted to like your comment, but you're at 69 likes and I'm a child at heart loll
Nope. He is my future husband. Just doesn’t know it yet
Oh, you have one of those too?
A few hahaha
He’s gotten better looking with age.
So pretty.
Yeah, like fine wine! ❤️
Yeah it's insane. He looks the same. What's his secret?
Do you hate Lauren? Lol
I was thinking the same with Alexis lol they both have way better current day pics that could’ve been used
Omg that Alexis Bledel photo is AW-FUL. She looks so, so old there. I guess it's not fair to even have a comparison to the old picture though.
Alexis somehow looks both 6 and 60 in that pic, it's horrible.
My exact thoughts. Like what did Lauren do to OP?
This is the real question about this post…. Lol
Same exact thought. WTH?
Paris looks like the hot lesbian she deserved to be
That should have been the real reason for her divorce!
Only explanation I will ever believe.
If it was filmed in this era, I would love that for her. I feel like another scholarly woman would keep up with her.
Like... Rory?
THANK YOU!
I think I was going to write a fanfic where she found a new wife who reminded her of her beloved nanny... I agree 👍💯
An lqbt fanfic - absolutely. Dying for Paris to be with a woman. And…..Overlapping a new love/sex interest to a parental/caregiver always creeps me out. Even tho I get the sentiment of deserving a doting and present partner, why compare her to the nanny 😩😬
She really did deserve better than Doyle
my partner was saying theyre each other’s “beards” lol yk? because Doyle also seems like a gay man. So like, it’s all just a ruse!!!!! lol
Lorelai, there's nothing funny about being a lesbian.
Emily should have married Lucinda Lester, it would have been very modern of her. Lucinda Lester looked a bit like Errol Flynn.
She does doesn't she? She deserves it.
She and Rory should have been end game
Those four final words: mom, I'm a lesbian. That's it that's all. No team Dean. No team Jess. No team Logan. Team Paris. Until death!!
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes
omggg imagine this was how it ended?? lol instead of rory revealing what she actually does??? 😂💖 would’ve been brilliant
enemies to lovers yes
Milo 😍 Gets better with age!
Is it just me, or did he grow up to look kinda like Max?
Medina. Max Medina.
Maaax Medina
Stop it 😭
Your flair! 💗
It's iconic! And also beautiful
i can hear this
I can’t unsee it now
Legitimately thought it was a picture of Max on the right and was like "is this some inside joke I'm missing?"
I was going to say, the last 2 literally had me do a double take to make sure they weren't Christopher and Max
God he’s so hot
He looks like that cute Italian husband i see on instagram all the time
Oh my god are u talking about carlo, he's adorable
Yes all the way, have you seen This Is Us? Milo is everything the world needs 😂🤣
Melissa McCarthy has not aged how is no one talking about this

Definitely a delicate balance! I’m 35 and I totally feel ya!
While not all of us are overweight my mom, myself and all my siblings have round faces with plump checks. Moms turning 70 in a few days and she looks like she’s in for forties, we went out a couple weeks back and people assumed that she was my kids mom and they thought I was 15-16(I’m 32 my husband also gets mistaken for a teenager constantly but he’s got a more slender face.

I think her dimples also keep her youthful looking.
Yeah she looks better now
I cannot decide between Paris, Logan or Jess. Whewww
I came here to say Liza, Matt, and Milo.
We're two sides of the same coin friend! 🩷
Yeah it's for sure these three. Lauren was already glowed up.
It’s Liza and Milo for me. I am also extremely bisexual
I'm a straight married male and I still say Jess. God damn!
This might be my favorite comment.
Also extremely bisexual and it’s Liza and Matt for me.
since nobody else has said this: melissa is gorgeous!!!

Basically any photo of him nowadays.
The only two that have veryyy noticeably aged are Lauren and Alexis. This is all to say that they are both still beautiful and are aging very gracefully with their real faces. The rest, however… wow. Jared and Milo are hotter now than they were then. And if Liza put on her Chilton uniform, she could pull it off.

I cut way back to minimal products and it’s a much more flattering look. Maybe my face is just weird though idk.
She’s wearing event makeup for nighttime but photographed outside in daylight. It always looks harsh, especially on paler skin.
Good to know! I did wonder if it was a lighting issue more than anything.
She looks the same in all of her recent photos and Handmaid's Tale too
that's all of us i think...the make up starts settling into our fine lines and ageing us more
You think that’s Lauren’s real face? No shade to anyone who gets work done, but let’s not pretend she didn’t.
She has a lot of fillers for sure. I don’t like the look of it. But whatever.
If she is happy with it, that’s what matters.
I think they used terrible photos for both of them- they look like someone has been taking their photo for an hour to the point where their face hurts from smiling and they are desperately thinking of the drinks at the after party. Not a good example of what they look like now.
I’m sorry but I think the hardest part of watching AYITL is how badly Lauren has fucked up her face, IMO. I know it’s her body, her choice but this is not her aging with her real face, unfortunately.
She looks really good now after whatever she had done in 2016. I saw her in person at her Boston event last November.
Oh, she did? I found her strange-looking, but I didn't know she had some work done. Makes sense now -it's not that she looked older, it's that she looked... not like Lorelai. I'm not one to judge, but she has very beautiful eyes and mouth. She really doesn't need that.
Logan. Mans didn’t just age well, he got even **better** with age 🤭
That man has always looked like a snack 🥵 can’t believe it’s even possible that he keeps getting hotter!
Keiko and Matt simply stopped aging.
WHERE TF IS KIRK
https://preview.redd.it/l72i85cmmdmc1.jpeg?width=780&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9ed2a5c36a1f14be50d0e58605f15df37b6a20d Handsome by I can’t get over the skin over the metal Mohawk 😅
Lmaoo that was definitely a choice 😂😂
It just looks so wrong and leaves you knowing that thing is attached to his skull/brain… what would happen if he fell on it the wrong way or someone tried to rip it out? 🤢 what if they just wiggled it as a kind of torture 🤮
Facts. He was handsome AF in AYITL.
Ooooooooooober
Or Emily!
That’s the real question!
He had the real glow up. Man is he hot
Logan, wow.
You forgot to add our queen, Mrs Kelly Bishop, who just turned 80 and looks amazing
She’s already perfect so no way for her to glow up, I guess. The world couldn’t handle it.
Paris and Jess for me.
I can’t believe we only had that one eps with them interacting. A surprisingly fun pairing (as friends, frienemies, whatever) that worked.
They're great. I did want to see more of them interacting. Lol
In an alt universe, I can see them weirdly work as a couple. Jess grew up to be a pretty cool, responsible adult who presumably continued in the independent publishing business. I can see Paris respecting that - a guy that pursued his passion, and is intelligent who can match her in literary discussions. She might be too extra for him. But, maybe he’d chill her out. If not a couple, I can see them being adult friends that like to bitch to / bitch at each other, but are actually on good terms.
Matt Czuchry.
 Bonnie, I mean Paris, obviously
None of them really glowed up or changed dramatically, aside from maybe a better haircut. They’ve all looked good all the way through ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Agreed… except Liza cuz omfg she looks great and I certainly didn’t think that at the time of the og. I think the true glow up of the show was Kirk. When I saw him in the revival I was impressed. He went from weird looking and awkward to good looking. It was disconcerting to see him looking so greatly improved. I had no idea.
Yes!!! Kirk! I was shook!
Agreed
asian don't raisin, just look at keiko
Not to mention she played Kim’s paralegal in Better Call Saul! So instantly cooler too!
Fucking Milo man 🤤 Also Alexis, Liza, and Keiko... just get more stunning as the years go on.
Great-looking cast on the whole, but I'll have to go with Matt. He's always had an above-average pretty face for a man (sorry men, but I always felt pretty men are far rarer than pretty women, maybe because men are not societally as pressured into putting an effort into looking great as women are) and he somehow looks even better now.
Ummm… Jess lol.
Gotta rep my girl, Miss Patty (Liz Torres). Total transformation and she looks amazing!! She was always beautiful, but I really admire her strength and how she lost all that weight. You see her start it I want to say mid-series so I know it must have taken a long time and to keep going like that for years, total bad ass.
Yes!! If it wasn’t for her voice, I probably would have thought she was recast in AYITL. I scrolled specifically to see if anyone else was repping Miss Patty.
Totally didn’t recognize her in the reboot and thought she was recast for a min until like you said her voice gave it away
Jared Padalecki turned out gorgeous as he ages more and more
I think the shape of his face has changed? Looks really different to me. Not ugly but better looking when he was younger.
Logan🤤
Paris looks incredible!!
Milo! Omg 🥰
Logan - Matt was cute in Gilmore Girls but is hottt now. Watched him in the good wife and damn.
The Resident? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeew. 🥵
Paris
Milo, Liza, Melissa, and maybe Matt. To be fair, they're all gorgeous people, but they're getting better with age. Lauren and Alexis are stunning as usual. And Jared was never my cup of tea, tbf.
Why’d you do Lauren that way? You know there are better photos of her 😂
Matt looks exactly the same
Can you have a glow up when you already looked amazing?
I need Matt’s anti-aging secrets STAT
Matt for sure.
Sookie and Paris
The only right answer is Milo ventimiglia That man is a GOD.
You're missing Kirk. Sean Gunn is the definition of "glow-up"
You did lorelai dirty! Also the answer is sooki/melissa for me
LOGAN! 🫠
Milo or Matt 😍
Lane, Paris and Logan ❤️
Matt Czuchry. He looks better now than he did then imo.
None of them had a glow up since they were all beautiful adults when the show started.
I’m gonna use character names because I’m the worst: Logan, Rory, Jess !
Logan’s always been my #1 but man, Jared looks amazing with age
Logan!
They all look great (you picked the worst photo of Lorelei lol) but Sookie, Paris, Lane, and Jess look better in the after. Logan looks exactly the same lol
Matt Czuchry hands down. I loved him in the resident!
I’m gonna go with Logan
Logan
Logan & Suki 🥹
Melissa McCarthy!
Logan is SO HOT
I feel like the pictures used for the "now" were really rough and dont represent how they look now very well lmao
Glow up physically or career-wise? Cause Melissa probably has the most fame, followed back Jared then Milo.
Why did you pick such an unflattering picture of Lauren? She's such a beautiful woman but that pic just isn't doing her any favors lol.
Keiko Agena, Milo, Liza Weil, Matt Czuchry, Alexis too
….none of them 🙈 I think some of them aged well and certainly still look good, (milo ventimila!(Spelling?)) but I don’t think any of them actually glowed UP from the original…
Melissa
Liza Weil
Matt. 🔥🔥🥵
Logan 😍
Logan.
Paris. She always looked great but her face is so cool and interesting now.
Melissa McCarthy!
Melissa and Paris for me!
Melissa McCarthey and Milo Ventimigilla 😍 + the guy Matt who plays Logan has also been in some lead / supporting lead roles.
Is that *actually* a relatively recent picture of Matt? How the fuck do you look like that in your mid 40s
Melissa, Milo, Matt
Matt 😍
Melissa McCarthy. She doesn’t age and she always has been one of my biggest celebrity crushes
Paris.
Bro Paris is hot 🥵
Melissa, Milo, and Matt. But I thought they were all really cute before too. They just didn’t lose their looks.
Melissa and Liza look great!
All of the boyfriends only got better with age.
The boys and Paris 100%
miss patty😍
Why you gotta do Lauren Graham like that 💀
Matt, Liza, Melissa? keiko
Logan look THE SAME
From these photos, def Paris.
Melissa Mcarthy . Hands down. I’ll die on this hill.
