There’s no way around it: as we get older, our looks change. But while many still fear the inevitable ageing process, Dame Helen Mirren embraces it.
Proving she’s the inspiration we all need, Helen, says she’s learnt to love her lines – as it shows she’s lived a life.
‘I’m old! And I look at it. And that’s just fine,’ the 75-year-old acting icon declares.
Getting older has only made Helen all the more aware of how precious life is and how not to take it for granted – something we can all relate to, given the uncertain year we’ve had.
‘I take great issue with the term [anti-ageing], actually,’ the star explains. ‘You can’t avoid ageing. The way I see it, you have two choices in life: you can either get older or [you can] die. And I want to continue to see what life has in store.’
No to surgery
While many of her A-list peers turn to the help of a surgeon in a bid to reverse the ageing process, Dame Helen has insisted she’s not considering going down the same route, having previously said, ‘Brilliant if you want it, but I don’t.’
