The Oscar-winning actor has long been an advocate of embracing aging, and in a new interview with BBC Woman's Hour, she only doubles down.
Women have long been led to believe that talk of getting older is to be avoided at all costs—whether that’s a result of marketing’s relentless focus on “eradicating” wrinkles or, until recently, the deafening silence around the subject of perimenopause. The subliminal messaging hasn’t always been so subliminal. So it’s refreshing to hear Kate Winslet, one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, expound on her own experience of getting older.

We become more woman, more powerful, more sexy… we grow into ourselves more. We have opportunities to speak our mind and not be afraid of what people think of us. Not care what we look like so much.
It’s not the first time Winslet has argued the case for the upsides to getting older. Earlier in the year, she filmed a in which she removed all of her makeup while emphasizing that happiness isn’t about what you look like—even if social media might suggest as much.
