Anna Kendrick fans were left with their jaws on the floor after learning about the major birthday she's approaching this summer, with hordes adamant she hasn't aged a day two decades from her big screen debut.
The actress, known for early 2000 roles such as those in Twilight and the beloved Pitch Perfect series, has been a constant presence on our screens.
Nevertheless, followers were astonished to hear that Anna will be hitting the big 4-0 in August and joins a long list of celebrities who will hit that milestone over the course of the year
Louis Levanti, a TikTok personality, entertainment host and red carpet exper, uploaded a clip listing various celebrities set to reach their 40s in 2025.
He prefaced the video by stating: "Disclaimer, this video is not made with any ill intent, I think it's just surprising to see how fast time is moving."
Stars who will turn 40 in 2025
Among the stars who will celebrate their 40th birthday in 2025 include Keira Knightley (March); Lily Allen (May); Dave Franco (June); High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale and Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford (July); singing sensations Bruno Mars and Ciara (October); The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco (November); and Mamma Mia's Amanda Seyfried, Malcolm in the Middle lynchpin Frankie Muniz and Disney Channel (December).
But among the famous faces turning 40, Anna has drawn the most attention, particularly from her fans who were left reeling in disbelief.
Among the surprised voices was Louis, who remarked: "Anna Kendrick turning 40 this year just does not sit right with me – not because it's an old age but because the first time I was introduced to Anna Kendrick was back in 2012 for Pitch Perfect.
"To me, she still looks the same age as she did in Pitch Perfect 13 years ago, so 40 just isn't computing in my head."
