Brooke Shields refuses to age 'gracefully' or let her 'hair go grey'
Brooke Shields won't let her "hair go grey" as she snubs the idea of aging "gracefully".
Brooke Shields has no plans to age "gracefully" and refuses to let her "hair go grey".
The 59-year-old supermodel is feeling more youthful than ever, but she has urged people to focus on "acceptance and kindness" of yourself while facing the reality of getting older.
She told Allure magazine: "Isn't it interesting how we even have to say, okay, well if you're going to age, you're going to have to do it gracefully.
"Excuse me, but f*** you. Aging is not a graceful process... You can judge yourself with grace, meaning acceptance and kindness, but also reality.
“If you don't like what's happening to your stomach, do sit-ups. Maybe stop drinking as much. Those things to me are graceful.”
When it comes to her hair, Brooke insisted she isn't a fan of how going grey makes her face look.
She added: "I'm not going to let my hair go grey... I'm not going to let my roots grow in because I'm not ready for that yet. I don't like what it does to my face.”
However, Brooke has learned to accept other signs of aging, including how "things ache" and how she wishes she "could sleep more".
She continued: "I wish everything was higher. I wish I didn't need kinesiology tape to bring my knees up to where they should be."
Brooke is open to the idea of a facelift generally, although she's "afraid at this point" to actually undergo the procedure herself.
When it comes to cosmetic procedures for her daughters Rowan Francis Henchy, 21, and Grier Hammond Henchy, 18, she has a different approach.
She said: "When my girls say, 'Oh, mom, what do you think about lip filler?' I'm like, 'I will divorce you.'"
She explained: "Like the times I've gotten Botox here [pointing between her eyebrows]. I hate this little frown part.
"Well, then you get used to the no-frown, right? And then you're like, 'Oh, what about this?' And then you go, 'Oh, that's how it happens.' You just go down the rabbit hole."
