Brooke Shields has revealed that she feels "sexier" at the age of 60 than she did when she first found fame during her teenage years.
Brooke Shields feels "sexier" at 60 than she did as a teenager.
The Blue Lagoon star became one of the most famous faces in the US during the 1980s with her controversial fashion shoots and movie roles but explained that she feels she "has so much more to offer" at this stage of her life after founding her haircare line Commence - aimed at women over the age of 40.
Speaking on the I Changed My Mind with Dan Souza podcast, Brooke said: "It stemmed from being the age that I am and realising that I was coming into this very important phase, but that I wasn't being told that I had the same amount of value as I was told when my ovaries worked.
"So to me, I thought, 'That is insane'. I feel sexier now than I did in my teens and I feel that I have so much to offer."
She added: "Why aren't women being allowed to be their full selves? Like, why is it so threatening to the industries?"
When Commence launched two years ago, Brooke explained that she created the brand to redefine the menopause age for women.
The Suddenly Susan star told People: "There should be a lightness in this era of a woman's life, and instead we're met with, 'Oh, you're so in the menopause now', or, 'You've had a good run.'
"The moment when your kids are gone, it's like, 'All right, see you later.' What I want with this brand is a lightness, vibrancy and an excitement for this period of our lives."
Shields wants Commence to be a "care brand" that is centred on authenticity.
She said: "All the women I've met who are over 40 and fabulous, and they have so much to offer. So, I started to say, we believe we are a care brand... It's your turn to really take care of yourself.
"The word empowered has been used a lot and it's kind of like a magnet on a refrigerator. But really when you understand what it feels like to be in this era in your life and be apologetic. You don't have to make yourself smaller. So the idea was, why are we overlooked when we have the spending power?"
