Most people spend their lives working so that they can retire comfortably. Then there are these celebrity superstars, most of whom are retirement age or have retirement level acclaim and continue making waves. Most of them have incredible net worth, so it’s not about the money.

Some of them do it for the love of it. Others because they need to keep busy, while some just can’t stand the idea of retiring. Whatever the case may be, just in case you thought the likes of Anthony Hopkins and Ben Kingsley have disappeared off the face of the earth, here you’ll find what they, and many more, are up to.

Leonard Whiting – Age 72

The sophisticated English actor Leonard Whiting is still very much alive and kicking, although he stepped out of the entertainment industry to pursue other passions. Before his final on-screen appearance in “Social Suicide” in 2015, he had earned his legendary status as a heartthrob of the silver screen in his heyday.

The Golden Globe Award winner became popular with his role in the 1968 adaptation of “Romeo and Juliet.” With his chiseled jaw and dreamy blue eyes, it’s no wonder Whiting captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. Surprisingly, he was only 17 when he played the iconic role of Romeo, a rare feat for a youngster.
