Renée Zellweger is not there because of society's youth fixation
Renée Zellweger has no problem with getting older. The 53-year-old actress said in a recent interview with The Sunday Times that she "loved" turning 50 and shared her views on aging and society's fixation on youth. Turning 50 "felt like a whole new beginning without the nonsense," she told the publication. "[It's] the point where you can stop listening to all those voices in your head and all those expectations and projections that people have of you and become more authentic," she added.

Renée Zellweger is not there because of society's youth fixation
Renée Zellweger has no problem with getting older. The 53-year-old actress said in a recent interview with The Sunday Times that she "loved" turning 50 and shared her views on aging and society's fixation on youth.
Turning 50 "felt like a whole new beginning without the nonsense," she told the publication. "[It's] the point where you can stop listening to all those voices in your head and all those expectations and projections that people have of you and become more authentic," she added. "I've survived a lot to get to my age and I've earned my power and my voice."
Jane Fonda On the importance of staying strong as you age
Her unique take on aging is enough to make you look forward to getting older and that seems to be the point the actress wanted to convey. “As long as we believe the whole idea that society is obsessed with youth, we will perpetuate it,” she continued. “So, get your hair done or your skin fixed or go to the spa that day or whatever it is that makes you feel great,” added.
This isn't the first time Zellweger has shared her thoughts on aging. "It's a privilege," she told InStyle after her 50th birthday. “I would rather celebrate and be present at every stage of my life than mourn something that has passed,” she said at the time. "It's not aging. It's growing! It's the acquisition of the most valuable things: experience and knowledge and grace and insight."
Cameron Diaz reflected on aging and listening to her body
The Bridget Jones's Diary star also shared her thoughts on the problem with the beauty industry, particularly when it comes to anti-aging advertising and products, in her interview with The Sunday Times. "All these ads telling us that we don't have to look at our real age if we just buy all their creams and their fixes and all the junk they try to sell us? I'm like, 'What, you say I?' Am I no longer valuable because I'm 53?' That's what you say?" She asked.
Instead of fixating on outdated ideals of beauty, according to Zellweger, it's about being authentic. “To be vibrant and beautiful you have to embrace your age, otherwise you live apologetically, and for me that's not beautiful at all,” she told the Sunday Times.
