Though we may think of them as perpetually young, our current Commander in Chief and many celebrities now qualify for AARP membership. This year, Tom Cruise, Bo Jackson and Jon Bon Jovi all will hit the half century mark. Not surprising, considering that some 4.2 million were born in 1962, the tail end of the baby boom era.

Take a look at some notable names that you may not have known were that old. While you peruse these famous faces, think how you would advise them on their portfolios.
