Zoomers are out there every day being active and breaking the mould of the stereotypical senior. Chrétien is not the only one with skills up his sleeve; we share our list of celebrity zoomers defying the old school rules of aging everyday!

Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones is doing anything but! The 69-year-old is still strutting his stuff and receiving incredible reviews while his band tours to celebrate their 50th anniversary.

No scandal necessary.

Grace Jones, 65, might have appeared to be having an easy time while Hula Hooping during her entire performance or Slave to the Rhythm at the Diamond Jubilee concert, but have you stepped into a Hula Hoop lately?
