Julia Louis-Dreyfus finds it 'weird' to see herself getting older on screen

Julia Louis-Dreyfus finds it "weird" to see herself getting older on screen.

The 63-year-old actress finds it "jarring" to look back on old episodes of 'Seinfeld', in which she played Elaine Benes, when she was in her 20s, but despite the physical changes in her appearance, she still feels "young".

She told Sunday Times Culture magazine: “It is a weird thing to watch yourself age on camera, like when I see old clips of 'Seinfeld' and I was — Jesus Christ, was I in my twenties? Yeah, I guess so.

"Anyway, it’s jarring for sure. So I know I’m older, but I feel young. I’m not going to play the 25-year-old ingenue, but I never did play those roles, so it’s fine.”

Julia was the only woman in 'Seinfeld' and it was largely written by men, but she never felt out of her depth on set.

She said: “Yeah, it was very male, but that felt familiar to me so I knew how to navigate it.

"When I started out in showbusiness in the 1980s, there was no awareness about trying to … I was going to say diversify, as if adding women is a diversification, but it is. But now there is awareness, and that’s a good thing.”
