Brooke Shields has never felt "afraid" of ageing. The 59-year-old actress - who has daughters Rowan, 21, and Grier, 18, with her husband Chris Henchy - has insisted that unlike most people, she doesn't worry about ageing. Brooke told PEOPLE: "I've been ageing for so long.
I'm used to it by now. "I think that the messaging around ageing is unfortunately predominantly negative. That is not the narrative that I am living - and we don't deserve to live that narrative.
" Brooke's outlook on her life and her career actually changed after she turned 50. The actress shared: "I think after you turn 50, so much opened up for me. I had raised my kids.
I had a different place that I was putting myself in my life. I think I was never afraid of the next decade or the next year." Meanwhile, Brooke recently revealed that she feels "more youthful" now than she "was in [her] youth".
The actress told Allure: "I am more youthful now than I was in my youth. My energy, my confidence, my lack of self-judgement. "The negative tapes that I played [in my mind] .
.. they don’t play anymore.
They’re all stretched out." Brooke confessed to feeling under pressure to look a certain way during her younger years. She explained: "I spent a great deal of my life trying to live up to an expectation that was presented as me.
"I'm not good enough because I don't look like that, or that's what I need to be doing. ‘Well, you've never done runway, Brooke, because you're athletic’ - that’s a euphemism for ‘.
