Ellen DeGeneres Turns 60 This Week And People Are Completely Shook

Age ain't nothin' but a number.

Later this week — on Jan. 26, to be exact — actor, comedian, and exuberant talk show host Ellen DeGeneres turns 60 years old.

Starting the festivities for her upcoming milestone a bit early, DeGeneres called on the denizens of Twitter to "rate the 60 year olds in your life."

I can’t believe I’m going to be 60 this week! I love rating your babies but this week I want to rate the 60 year ol… https://t.co/jGi1a3HjdR

People responded to the call to action, posting several photos of their favorite sexagenarians, but folks were puzzled by one thing: Could it really be true that Ellen was turning 60?!

"I am shook," one Twitter user said. "Like, I cannot be the only who thought she was maybe 45 all this time."
