15 Current Athletes Who Look Way Older Than They Actually Are

15. Artemi Panarin

Actual Age: 24

Looks Like He's: 32

Panarin is just making his first rounds in the NHL with the Blackhawks, but he looks like he's been around forever. It's not like he looks ancient, but he has the grizzled look of a hockey veteran. Now, Chicago is just hoping he can keep producing until he's as old as he looks.

14. Greg Bird

Actual Age: 22

Looks Like He's: 34

Bird burst onto the scene for the Yankees this past season as a rookie, but nobody would've guessed he was in his first year based on how he looks. He has the intense look of someone who has been doing it for a long time. No, the wrinkles aren't there yet, but he does look very mature for his age.

13. Jake Arrieta

Actual Age: 29

Looks Like He's: 38

Admittedly, this has to do almost exclusively with Arrieta's beard. The huge facial hair that he rocks makes him look like a middle-aged lumberjack. It also helps him intimidate opponents on the mound. When he's clean shaven, Arrieta looks much closer to his actual age.

12. Timmy Jernigan

Actual Age: 23

Looks Like He's: 35

The troubled former Florida State star, now Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman doesn't look like he's just breaking into the league. He looks hardened by years of fighting in the trenches which makes him look like he's closer to the end of his NFL career, not the beginning.

11. Max Domi

Actual Age: 20

Looks Like He's: 31

Domi is another NHL rookie who looks much older than he actually is. He fights in tough areas on the ice, which proves his toughness. Apparently, that toughness has worn on him because he does not look like your typical fresh-faced 20-year-old. It probably gives him more instant credibility with his teammates in Arizona, though.

10. Noah Syndergaard

Actual Age: 23

Looks Like He's: 34

Syndergaard is a towering figure and also looks like Thor, making him appear much older than he actually is. The Mets are hoping he's in Queens for the foreseeable future, but the hurler looks like he's already been there forever. Certainly, he's mature beyond his years, at least physically.

9. P.K. Subban

Actual Age: 26

Looks Like He's: 37

Subban is an NHL player you either love or hate. It seems like he's been in the league forever, so it's hard to believe he's only 26. He also looks much older, which makes it even harder to believe. The Canadiens star doesn't look like he's ready to slow down anytime soon despite looking like he may be on the brink of retirement.

8. Thomas Robinson

Actual Age: 24

Looks Like He's: 34

Thomas Robinson was one of the best players to come through Kansas in quite some time, but he has failed to fully reach his potential in the NBA so far. If only his low-post game was that of a veteran, he might be starting somewhere. However, the only thing that looks like a veteran on him at this point is his face, which looks like a 30-something who has been in the league forever.

7. Greg Hardy

Actual Age: 27

Looks Like He's: 39

Hardy is one of the most despicable players in the NFL and most probably wish he was closer to retirement than he actually is. The nasty defensive lineman isn't even 30, but he looks like he's pushing 40 because of his tough demeanor and rough exterior. Perhaps these traits are aging him faster than he would like.

6. E.J. Manuel

Actual Age: 25

Looks Like He's: 37

There's just something about the Bills quarterback that makes him look particularly old. Even when he was in college, the former Florida State star looked like he belonged with the big boys on Sundays. Now that he's there, he looks even older.

5. James Paxton

Actual Age: 26

Looks Like He's: 38

The Mariners' lefty had a rough go of it this season. He didn't live up to expectations, which he will try to change next season. All the while, he looked far older than he actually is. Just pushing 26, he looks like he's been aged by trying times because his face is already showing signs of wear.

4. Anthony Davis

Actual Age: 22

Looks Like He's: 36

It has to be the unibrow. There's no other explanation. It also defies logic that Davis is still just 22 years old since it seems like he's been in the league forever. The former Kentucky star has a chance to win the NBA MVP this season if he stays healthy, which would make him seem like even more of a veteran than he already is.

3. Dontari Poe

Actual Age: 25

Looks Like He's: 37

Poe, the Chiefs' star pass rusher and run stuffer, looks as if he's been in town forever when, in reality, he's just 25 years old. That means he should have plenty of more left in the tank, which is great news for KC and not such great news for opposing quarterbacks.

2. LeBron James

Actual Age: 30

Looks Like He's: 42

LeBron has always been mature beyond his years on the basketball court, and because of his receding hair line, he has always looked older than he was as well. Now that he's really starting to lose some hair toward the front of his head, people are noticing just how old he looks. Fans in Cleveland don't care how old he looks as long as he stays healthy on the court, though.

1. Greg Oden

Actual Age: 27

Looks Like He's: 48

Even when Greg Oden was dominating college ball at Ohio State, he looked like a middle-aged man. Now that it's been nearly a decade since then, not much has changed. Other than the fact he's failed to factor in the NBA at all, he still looks like the same 45-50-year-old man playing rec basketball. Unfortunately for him, his game is starting to look like that as well.
