'I feel free: Viola Davis reveals how she feels about turning 60

Viola Davis feels "free" after turning 60.

The actress reached the milestone age on August 11, and it has helped her lean to let go of "fighting" and struggling with her own "identity", along with the expectations placed on her by society.

She told E! News: "I feel free. I think that's the best word for it.

"I think maybe before, and maybe it was fighting and struggling with identity and labels, what I should be and what I should be doing.

"And now, I just let it all go, and I have my, 'Aha,' moment, which is, 'I'm just supposed to be here in the now, and I did good.'

"I feel free."

As part of her birthday celebrations, the G20 star jetted to Los Cabos, Mexico, with her husband, 71-year-old actor Julius Tennon, and more loved ones.

She rented out a beachside home with stunning views of the sea, a huge private infinity pool, and a big garden space.

As well as a large cake, Viola said there was lots of alcohol.

The Woman King actress added: "[There was] lots of margaritas and pina coladas."
