In Eva Longoria’s case, it seems like she has discovered the fountain of youth and has been secretly visiting it for the past two decades.

Fresh photos from the premiere of the dramedy “Flamin’ Hot” further prove this point.

Since this film marked Eva’s directorial debut, the event was attended by her oldest friends and colleagues.

Among the guests, reporters spotted Jesse Metcalfe, who played John Rowland, Gabrielle Solis’ young lover on “Desperate Housewives.”

Fans of the series will remember Metcalfe well. He was part of the main cast in the first season and made appearances up to the sixth season.

While Metcalfe’s character was portrayed as at least ten years younger than Longoria’s, in reality, the actors are only four years apart.

Now, 48-year-old Eva and 44-year-old Jesse walked the same red carpet again.

The transformation over the past 20 years is striking: Eva looks younger than her co-star, even without makeup.

But don’t worry about Metcalfe. He has been married for a long time and continues to act actively. Last year, he appeared in the action movie “The Fortress” with Bruce Willis.

The years may have taken a toll, but it’s likely due to lack of sleep rather than anything else.
