10 Celebrities Who Became More Famous With Age (4 of 6)

6. Stanley Tucci

Although Tucci has been acting since he was in his 20s, he didn’t get his first major role until 2002’s “Road of Perdition” when he was 41, a movie that won a bunch of awards. He subsequently played a major role in Steven Spielberg’s “The Terminal” two years later. But it was his Academy Award nomination for the 2009 film “The Lovely Bones” that really solidified him as a star.

7. Jean Reno

Although Reno has been acting since he was 30, he didn’t gain prominence until he was 46, starring in “The Professional,” alongside a young Natalie Portman making her film debut. He has since acted in “Godzilla,” “Mission Impossible,” and “The DiVinci Code,” among others.
