It doesn\u2019t have to be associated with youth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brooke observed that &#8220;chasing youth&#8221; is a &#8220;dangerous, slippery slope&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actress explained: &#8220;The more I talked to women who are over 40, the more I realised that part of chasing youth is not just for themselves, but for other people. It\u2019s for partners, it\u2019s for the way you\u2019re looked at in public, and it\u2019s a dangerous, slippery slope. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We\u2019re not allowed to just grow and experience our life and be OK with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nLast year, Brooke insisted that she&#8217;s never been &#8220;afraid&#8221; of ageing.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told PEOPLE: &#8220;I&#8217;ve been ageing for so long. I&#8217;m used to it by now.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I think that the messaging around ageing is unfortunately predominantly negative. That is not the narrative that I am living &#8211; and we don&#8217;t deserve to live that narrative.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBrooke&#8217;s outlook on her life and her career actually changed after she turned 50.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actress &#8211; who has daughters Grier, 18, and Rowan, 21, with husband Chris Henchy &#8211; shared: &#8220;I think after you turn 50, so much opened up for me. I had raised my kids. I had a different place that I was putting myself in my life. I think I was never afraid of the next decade or the next year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/brooke-shields-chasing-youth-slippery-slope-1411780.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8 January 2025 Brooke Shields believes beauty can &#8220;come in different forms&#8221;.
