Japan: The Internet is going nuts for model Risa Hirako, a Tokyo-based model, who looks more like 25 than 45.
They say the Japanese age well but this is now officially getting out of control. Judging by these pictures it looks as if 40s are the new 20s in Japan.
In Japan, it is common to ask people to guess your age – but you would probably be lucky to get anywhere near 45 if asked by Risa Hirako. The model turned 45 this year, which means she was almost born in the 60s – 1971 to be exact. The same year Jimi Hendrix passed away and one year after the Beatles split up.
She’s also a producer and has done some presenting, starred in music videos, worked with fashion brands and amassed almost 100,000 followers on Instagram.
Risa hasn’t shied away from the cameras in her “old age” with her Instagram pictures causing a tsunami of amazement and jealousy. They even call her a “real life Barbie”.
Except she says she’s actually 45 years old and it’s freaking everyone out.
