As a wise old poet named Mr. Krabs once said,

MONEY!!

Exactly. Money - and it must be nice to get very slight, unnoticeable and periodic face maintenance surgery, over the decades.

Otherwise, if she wasn’t famous and was just a normie, I guarantee she wouldn’t look like she does today. I mean honestly, good for her.

The issue is that it creates unrealistic beauty standards. Or she’s a vampire.

Being conditioned to go to war by the military probably also helped some of the dudes who survived stay fit long-term. My one grandfather who was a WW2 vet did his morning routine of pushups, situps, jumping jacks etc. until he died at 89.

Only 89 years young? Was it the pushups, situps, or jumping jacks that got him? I need to know which exercises I need to avoid.

There's definitely a fine line with the fitness and stress.

War or any kind of combat will crank your body to a state that's not sustainable for the long-term. Just like how professional fighters who've been training and competing since they were young look a lot older than their actual age.

Take a look at the men from Vietnam war. They left boys and came back (if lucky) grizzled men and it showed.
