How 60 became the new 30 in Hollywood: Stars in their 7th decade like Demi Moore and Angela Bassett look much younger than celebs at the same age in decades gone by - here's how they do it

Celebrities in their sixties are looking younger than ever thanks to better skincare and tweakments than ever before. When sexagenarian Demi Moore accepted her Golden Globe for her role in the Substance, the mother-of-four said she'd been waiting 30 years to be recognised.

The actress, who has won critical acclaim for her role as a fitness star who takes a potion to look younger in horror movie The Substance, is among the stars having a resurgence in their seventh decade. '60s is not what your 60s used to be. There's a part of me that's enjoying figuring it out as I go along,' she told People.

During her acceptance speech at the Globes, the mother of four said: 'Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a 'popcorn' actress and that I could do movies that were successful but I couldn't be acknowledged. But tonight I learned, I do belong.'.

And during the awards, the 62-year-old Ghost star looked ageless in a glamorous gold dress. She joined the likes of Mariska Hargitay, Sandra Bullock, Marisa Tomei and George Clooney who too are in their 60s but look far from it and are still enjoying fruitful careers.

Actors like Eddie Murphy, 63, look as youthful as ever, with the Nutty Professor star still booked and busy after starring in action hit Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F last year. Meanwhile Sharon Stone's sexy reprisal of her iconic crossed-legs pose from 1992 film Basic Instinct was the ultimate hit back at critics who claimed the 66 year-old's glory days were behind her.

Hollywood's hottest stars are in their 60s and the days when the milestone age marked the end of an accomplished career are now long gone (Pictured: Demi Moore, 62, looks younger than ever as she scoops the best actress gong at the Golden Globes this year).
