Renée Zellweger is embracing all that her 50s have to offer, but that doesn't mean she's getting on board with the "anti-aging" skin care products marketed to her demographic. 'I have to live through a lot to get to my age, and I have earned my power and my voice,' the "Sing About Pam" actress, 53, said in an interview with The Sunday Times (opens in new tab)." As long as we buy into the whole idea that society is obsessed with youth, we perpetuate it." The star of [Bridget Jones's Diary] explained why she has a problem with the 'anti-aging' products and promises put forth by beauty companies." All those ads trying to sell you creams and corrective products and all that garbage about "you don't have to look older than your actual age," and you're telling me that because I'm 53, I'm not worth it? There is a big difference between being your absolute best, most vibrant self and wanting to be something you are not," the actress explained in an interview. 'To be vibrant and beautiful, you have to accept your age. Otherwise, you are living apologetically, and for me that is not beautiful at all."

It is a motto she preaches and practices. The actress added that she is looking forward to her 50th birthday in 2019. She added, "It's the point where you can stop listening to the voices in your head and the expectations and expectations that people have of you and just be more yourself."

The new decade has been busy for Zellweger, who starred in The Thing About Pam, an American crime drama about Pam Happ's involvement in the 2011 murder of Betsy Faria. She also began dating HGTV personality Ant Anstead shortly after meeting him in June 2021.

"There is a lot of respect between them," a source told People magazine about the pair. And with seven years to go until her 50s, Zellweger can't wait to see what the future holds.
