President Joe Biden's age is making a slew of headlines following his first debate of the 2024 election cycle. Biden's 81 years have been a cause of concern for some voters, Democrats in politics and Democratic supporters, including George Clooney, who wrote a New York Times op-ed beseeching the incumbent to drop out of the race against former president Donald Trump, 78.

Still, how old is 81 really? These stars are all roughly the same age as Biden and show little to no signs of stopping anytime soon.
