Sharon Stone Embraces the Journey of Aging With Confidence
Sharon Stone on Aging Gracefully
Actress Sharon Stone, known for her role in Basic Instinct, is embracing the natural changes that come with age. At 66, Stone recently shared her views on aging in an interview with The Times. Her outlook is overwhelmingly positive, as she emphasizes the importance of loving one’s body through all stages of life.
Maintaining a Positive Mindset
Stone acknowledges that many people tend to disengage from their physical self as they age, but she firmly believes in continuing to cherish the body. “A lot of people give up as they get older. They let go of their body because it’s collapsing anyway, or it’s like, ‘I’m not defined by my body any more.’ But you still have to love that body,” she told the publication.
Redefining Beauty and Strength
The actress humorously reflects on how her perception of beauty has evolved. “I joke that my underarms have pleats now,” she shared, adding a lighthearted twist to her acceptance of aging. Stone appreciates the strength and functionality her body offers, even as its appearance changes.
Lessons From Iconic Encounters
In a nostalgic reminiscence, Stone recalled a moment with icons Jackie Collins and Joan Collins. “I was once at Jackie Collins’s house playing billiards with her and her sister, Joan,” she recounted. Joan humorously advised, “After 40, never get on top and never wave goodbye.”
The Value of Life and Gratitude
Stone’s attitude toward aging is grounded in gratitude. She expressed appreciation for life, stating, “I like being alive and healthy. And I think that we should all be super-thrilled to make it.” For Stone, seeing many people not reach older age has reinforced the value of each day.
