Penélope Cruz is not concerned about aging.
Cruz, 49, opened up about nearing 50 years-old in her cover story with Elle, published on Thursday, January 18. “People have been asking me about age since I was twenty-something,” she shared, adding, “I was more bothered then than now.”
For Cruz, aging is a “huge, beautiful thing.” She gushed, I really want to celebrate that with all my friends. It means I’m here and I’m healthy, and it’s a reason to have a party.”
Through the years, Cruz has learned to ignore questions about aging — or anything she found irrelevant. “When I was 25, they would ask me these psychotic questions, things you would not believe, and the only weapon I would have was not to answer,” she said. “Even now, on the red carpet, when they shout to ‘Turn around,’ I always pretend I didn’t hear what they said.”
Cruz previously called questions about aging “crazy” while talking to Gwyneth Paltrow during a 2017 Interview cover story.
“When it comes to talking about aging as an actress, I feel like, ‘What the f—k?’ I’m not going to give you even two minutes to honor your question. It doesn’t deserve that,” she said at the time.
Per Cruz’s request to not focus on aging, perhaps fans can bask in her impeccable style sense.
