But it&#8217;s also a time we should feel good about ourselves, hold our heads high and not fear and dread menopause like we have been taught by society and previous generations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Naomi admits that her outlook hasn&#8217;t always been so optimistic.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actress said: &#8220;I went into menopause or perimenopause super early and felt a lot of shame and no real sense of ways to communicate, not with my friends, my mother or even doctors.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Women in this stage &#8211; perimenopause and beyond &#8211; have often felt left out. When our hormones stop functioning the way they used to, it&#8217;s like we become redundant, expected to disappear. There&#8217;s just a whole lot of negative messaging, which feels so out of date now. And as we know, we&#8217;re more than our fertility. We are not invisible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nEarlier this year, Naomi claimed that embracing ageing has actually helped her to become more successful in Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe film star told Good Housekeeping magazine: &#8220;I think the longer the life, the deeper it gets, and the roles tend to reflect that in terms of storytelling and playing all these dynamic women.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We&#8217;ve been through a multitude of experiences by now, so stories will reflect that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nNaomi observed that women of a certain age are often portrayed in an unflattering way on screen.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;The archetypes that are out there on the screen and in storytelling, it&#8217;s always these cranky, scary ladies. And while I&#8217;m all for the humour of that, there are other great things as well. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I&#8217;m really proud of the advocacy work that I&#8217;ve been doing and learning all about it so perhaps that can be reflected in the stories.&#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\/women-dread-menopause-says-naomi-watts-1420788.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 June 2025 Naomi Watts wants women to &#8220;not fear and dread menopause&#8221;.
