At 43, Jordana Brewster feels like she’s just hitting her stride. “I’ve always had this gut instinct that life would begin at 40 for me,” says the actress. “I’m an old soul. I felt like, when I’m in my 40s, I’m totally going to fly.” No wonder she’s soaring to new heights, both personally and professionally. She has two movies out — Fast X, the 10th installment of the Fast & Furious franchise, and her new sci-fi thriller, Simulant — as well as a Netflix comedy on the way. And she’s still basking in newlywed bliss after tying the knot with businessman Mason Morfit in September 2022 (Brewster and ex Andrew Form — who split in 2021 — share sons Julian, 9, and Rowan, 6). “It makes sense that I met the love of my life at 40,” adds the star. “It’s just a really fun time, and I’m enjoying it all.”
It sounds like you’re really loving life these days.
I am! The actresses I most admire are in their 40s and 50s. The roles are more complex. For a while, I was sidelined to the girlfriend or the good-girl parts. I’m having more fun now than I did in my 20s.
Do you think aging is getting less of a bad rap?
I do. Age is regarded very differently now. Demi Moore is 60 and looks absolutely incredible. And Salma Hayek, too. Look at J.Lo. It’s insane!
The first Fast & Furious flick came out in 2001! Can you believe the franchise is still going?
No. It really tapped a nerve and resonated with people.
