A woman posted a video on TikTok and asked viewers a simple question; to guess her age. However, nothing could have prepared her for the answers she received which she simply said were ‘wild.’

Emily Jane posted a video of herself sans makeup and social media filters and asked people to guess how old she was. She was shocked to see that some thought she was in her forties, her fifties, while some even thought she was in her sixties!

“I’m 56, my guess is that you are close to 47,” one commenter wrote.

“I’m 42. I’d guess you’re around 51,” another person pondered.

“A really attractive 42, and I’m 29,” someone shared.

“A really attractive 42, and I’m 29,” someone shared.

The answer that took the cake for Emily was one commenter who thought she was 58 years old.

“Do I genuinely look like I’m nearly 60? Like I’m nearly at retirement age? Do I actually look that old?” she asked in a follow-up video.

A lot of people of course also thought she was in her thirties and a few thought she was still in her twenties as well. The guesses were of a wide range.

Emily however, was shocked at people who guessed she was so old and finally revealed the truth about her age.

“I turned 36 last week, so only just 36,” she said.

And she is well aware of why people think shes older, its because she has stopped dying her naturally grey hair.

“I’ve had grey hair for quite some time now and it is a natural grey. I started going grey around 19, and people think because I’ve got grey hair, I’m over 50,” she said in her video.

She said even with her grey hair, she was shocked people were guessing she was older.
