At 63, Susan Sarandon looks better than many actresses 20 years her junior and this is something most media representatives usually agree on. The secret to looking this good, she says in a recent interview (via
HollywoodRag), has nothing to do with going under the knife or using who knows what secret ingredient, but rather with living a healthy life, surrounding herself by people who make her smile and, last but not least, quitting smoking.
Sarandon, who has always been considered the perfect instance of elegance and grace in Hollywood, says she would never consider doing something to prevent her body and face from growing old. This, of course, is not to say that she blames or otherwise judges those stars, be they male or female, who go under the knife to knock a few years off their face. To her, though, this seems unnatural, ridiculous and, at the end of the day, absolutely futile.
“I don’t think you should try to look 22 when you are in your 60s. There is something odd about a woman who looks younger than she did 20 years ago. I’m not against anybody doing anything to themselves that makes them feel good, but aesthetically some fillers and stuff make people unrecognizable. I’ve never had fillers, and how can you get Botox when you’re an actor? I had under my chin sucked out once. I think we have to be supportive of each other, and if someone wants to get implants or tucks you hope that they will be fine and they will keep the essence of who they are and not go over the top,” Sarandon shares in the recent interview.
Another secret that is helping Susan look stunning even at the age of 63 is her having kicked the bad habit of smoking. We all know that cigarettes can make the face look much older than it actually is, but Susan Sarandon is the living example of that. Or so, that’s what people are telling her and she likes to believe. Once she quit smoking and started leading a much healthier life, she also made sure that she surrounded herself only by people who make her smile, because she knows laughter also works wonders for the skin.
“Young actors ask me: ‘Why is your skin so great; what is your product?’ and all I say is: ‘Stop smoking, that’s the big one.’ Laughing does a lot for the face. Do the things you enjoy. Surround yourself with good people. Denying yourself is not good for the face. You can’t be a bitter, angry person. Hatred is […] not great for your skin,” the actress concludes by saying.
