Renée Zellweger Calls Anti-Aging Products 'Garbage'

Actress Renée Zellweger has opened up about aging and how beauty products are "garbage."

Zellweger, who turned 53 years old in April, shared how entering 50 felt like a new start, but without the "nonsense," as it was the age when you become a true version of yourself.

"Turning 50 felt like a whole new beginning without the nonsense," Zellweger told The Sunday Times in an interview. "The point where you can stop listening to all those voices in your head and all those expectations and projections people have of you and become more authentically yourself."

The "Bridget Jones" star further shared how people younger than her will have to "survive a lot" to reach her age.

"Good luck all you s****** out there because you've got to survive a lot to get to my age, and I've earned my power and voice," she said.

The actress also went on to slam the beauty products that tell women how they will make them look young again. She explained how these products were nothing but garbage.

"All those ads telling us we don't need to look our real age if we just buy all their creams and their fixes and all that garbage, they want to sell us?" she questioned. "I'm like, what, you're saying I'm not valuable anymore because I'm 53? Is that what you're saying?"

The actress explained further there was a huge difference between wanting to be the best and wanting to look like something that you are not. Zellweger suggested people should embrace their age, rather than living "apologetically."

"There is a big difference between being your absolute best, most vibrant self and wanting to be what you're not," she added. "To be vibrant and beautiful you must embrace your age, otherwise you are living apologetically and to me, that's not beautiful at all."

On the work front, Zellweger was last seen in the crime series, "The Thing About Pam," which was dropped in April. She will be next seen in the movie, "The Back Nine" where she will portray Casey Jones' character. The flick is helmed by the director Michael Patrick King.
