Gwyneth Paltrow Opens Up About Aging

Gwyneth Paltrow is not afraid of getting old.

On a recent episode of Goop‘s podcast, The Beauty Closet, the actress opened up about getting older in the spotlight and how she’s responded to her changing appearance.

“I’ve always felt so funny about my looks,” she admitted about the aging process. “I think that it’s very rare to think that you’re a beautiful person, and so, I feel like every other woman — like, I don’t see that when I look in the mirror.”

“I think for me it’s more internally feeling,” she continued. “You know, as I go on in life and I feel more and more myself and less judgmental about myself, my values become clearer to me. I can be in integrity all the time, which was much harder when you’re a younger woman and you’re trying to please and juggling all this stuff.”

“It’s a weird thing to be,” she added about getting older. “I don’t mean in a pejorative way objectified. I think when you come to age, if you have this broad identity as that, what does it mean to get wrinkles and, like, get closer to menopause, and all these things?”
