@mariojacobs,
Being ageless is a common trope in literature, film and television.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheAgeless
This character is Immortal, but not because they are Nigh Invulnerable or can regenerate any injury. They are immortal because they don't age, nor do they usually sicken. This character will never die from natural causes. However, they are just as vulnerable to injury as a normal person, and any normally fatal injury will prove fatal to them as well. This is frequently a racial trait of elves and almost always a feature of robots and vampires. ....

Marvel Eternals also don't age.
I don't know if Benjamin Button should count. He ages, altought in a different way than normal humans. In fact at the end of the movie, while being a little child he suffers from old age dementia
