How Old Is the Cast of 'Jersey Shore' (And How Old Were They When They Started the Show)?

How Old Is the Cast of 'Jersey Shore' (And How Old Were They When They Started the Show)?

We remember when the cast of Jersey Shore made their first splash on MTV. The show chronicled the lives of eight housemates living together in a vacation home located in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. From talking about their hair, skin tan,  and overall physique to getting into major relationship drama, viewers couldn’t help but get sucked into the reality TV series that turned out to be a major hit.

Though the show started in 2009 and ended in 2012, the cast reunited in 2018 for Jersey Shore: Family Vacation for even more shenanigans nine years after the initial premiere. Does this make them too old to still be partying and causing scenes? You can be the judge.

Pauly D

Age then: 29

Age now: 38

You may not think of Paul DelVecchio, aka Pauly D, as too entrepreneurial — but when it comes to reality TV success stories, his may take the cake. Born on July 5, 1980, the Jersey Shore star is now back at his old antics at 38 years old. When he started the show, he was just 29, and he’s done a great job of making a name for himself since then. Cosmopolitan reveals he’s worth around $20 million — and that’s largely from his successful career as a DJ. He’s even opened for Britney Spears.

Michael Sorrentino

Age then: 27

Age now: 36

It hasn’t been the best year for Michael Sorrentino, aka “The Situation.” NBC News reports he was recently sentenced to eight months in jail due to tax evasion. He allegedly filed falsified tax returns on almost $9 million. Not only that, but he was addicted to painkillers following a 2010 injury from Dancing With the Stars, and he’s entered rehab twice. Either way, he’s 36 now and was just 27 when he started on Jersey Shore.
