Joshua Jackson revealed the secret to his youthful appearance during the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night.
“I think it’s chasing a 4-year-old. I think it keeps you young,” the 46-year-old Hollywood hunk told Peoplereferring to his daughter Juno, whom he shares with ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith, 38.
The actor then joked, “The gray hair might tell you otherwise.”
More seriously, he said that his smooth, beardless face might be the reason he looks so strikingly young these days.
“I think it’s just because I shaved,” Jackson noted, adding, “I mean, I’m happy. I’m really happy, but I think it’s because I shaved. I think I look a lot younger without a full COVID beard.”
