Joshua Jackson revealed the secret to his youthful looks while attending the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night.
“I think it’s like chasing a 4-year-old. I think it keeps you young,” the 46-year-old Hollywood heartthrob told Peoplereferring to his daughter Juno, whom he shares with ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith, 38.
The veteran actor then joked: “Gray hair might tell you something different.”
On a more serious note, he mentioned that his smooth, beardless face might be the real reason he looks surprisingly young these days.
“I think it’s just that I shaved, actually,” Jackson said, 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 beard because of COVID.”
