The actor said she's struggled with society's beauty ideals for women
, on which she said that at the age of 49, she's fallen 'victim' to every expectation going.
"I am absolutely a victim to all of the societal objectification and exploitations that women are subjected to. I have bought into all of them myself at certain times," she confessed to Michelle."It's hard not to, it's hard not to look at yourself and judge yourself against other markers of beauty, and I think that that’s one of the biggest things... The last eight years, girl, I’m like wild.
"You stop looking in the mirror and stop taking selfies, as an actor I probably sit in the mirror for seven hours a day... it's toxic. You just start to pick yourself apart, you know," she explained."And you’re like 'Why I am sitting here like being so mean to myself? My body's strong, my body's capable. Why am I going to talk down to it? Why am I going to be mean to it when it's like carried me this far?'.
However, the mother-of-one said she's now turned a corner and that overthinking her appearance isn't something she has time for any more, or allows herself to do."I'm going to be fifty this year, it's so great because you know more... The last thing I think about [now] on a daily basis [is] what I look like," she concluded.
