23 Celebrities Turning 40 In 2025 (I’m Not Ready)
Haley Sprankle is B+C's Content Editor, leading coverage across pop culture, beauty, style, home, and beyond. You can find her previous work at WIRED, Wirecutter, and VH1. Outside of work, she's probably drinking a dirty martini, walking her french bulldogs, or quoting School of Rock somewhere.
Lordy, lordy, these celebrities are officially turning 40 in 2025! While we all logically know we each get older every year, there's something shocking when your favorite child star (I'm looking at you Raven-Symoné) hits this kind of major milestone. From Olympic athletes to reality legends, you won't believe who's "over the hill" in 2025.

Anna Kendrick
Birthday: August 9, 1985
Real ones know her as Jessica from Twilight, but this Pitch Perfectsinger is always a star in our book! She just directed and starred in Woman of the Hour, now streaming on Netflix. Honestly though, we can't wait to see her highly-anticipated sequel A Simple Favor 2with Blake Lively.

Billy Magnussen
Birthday: April 20, 1985
If you haven't seen Billy Magnussen in Made for Love, do yourself a favor and go watch it ASAP. He plays a love-obsessed tech mogul that gives Cristin Milioti everything she could ever want...but is it right? Seriously, it's such a fantastic, weird show. And if you don't recognize him from that, you may know him from Into the Woods or The Many Saints of Newark (that one's for you, Sopranos fans).

After just winning the Tony Award for "Best Actor in a Musical" last year for his performance in Merrily We Roll Along last year, it's safe to say JGroff just keeps getting better with age!

Lily Allen
Birthday: May 2, 1985
Discovering Lily Allen in my youth was perfect for my little "not like other girls" heart back in the day. Her music was edgy and eclectic and so very British. I couldn't get enough of it! She's clearly maintained her cool factor throughout the years too — just look at her gorgeous Brooklyn home!

Michael Phelps
Birthday: June 30, 1985
When you think of the Olympics, it's likely you think about Michael Phelps. The swimming icon won medals, broke records, and cemented himself as a national treasure. Now, the father of four is a mental health advocate who speaks up about his own struggles with depression in order to help others understand (and work on) their own journeys.
