About
How You Age When You're Unproblematic is a catchphrase often used in stan circles to post photos of their favorite "unproblematic" celebrities. The trend began as a sincere way for fan accounts to celebrate older celebrities, but eventually became a meta-commentary on Gen Z physiognomic analysis, where an aging celebrity's looks are related to their moral character. Steve Carrell is a prominent early subject of the meme.
Origin
On September 25th, 2018, Twitter[1] user @chuuzus posted a tweet that read, "Steve carell at age 37 and at age 56. This is how you age like fine wine when you're talented, unproblematic, funny and mind your own business," gathering over 120,000 likes in five years (seen below).

Spread
On February 26th, 2019, Twitter[2] user @VERONASFILMS posted a tweet similar to the aforementioned post about Steve Carell, this time with Paul Rudd as the subject, gathering over 14,000 likes in four years (seen below, left). On May 5th, 2019, Twitter[3] user @taegfasf posted the earliest known parody of the tweet format, gathering over 1,000 likes in four years (seen below, right).


On November 20th, 2019, Twitter[4] user @valsreactor posted a tweet parodying the format as well, gathering over 280,000 likes in four years (seen below, left). On May 2nd, 2023, Twitter[5] user @imshelleybrooks posted a tweet that read, "Gen Z removing the calipers from a movie star's head: We have confirmed this person is pure of heart đ," gathering over 3,000 likes in two days (seen below, right).
