“Whose arm is that?” : at 75, Glenn Close confides with humor on aging

2022-05-18T16:02:47.842Z


Asked about her perception of aging, the 75-year-old actress says she walks through life like a 20-something but admits she's tired of the "brainwashing" women go through about age.


For Glenn Close, age is just a number.

The septuagenarian clearly differentiates her bodily envelope, which she calls “house”, from her mind: “I always had the impression that my body was not really what I am.

If you want, we have this "house" that we take care of all our lives and it's not who you are," she confided in a recent interview with American magazine

Glamor.

“It got me thinking because I'm 75 and I feel like I'm looking at the world with the energy of a 20-year-old.

And that's who I am."

Aware of the effects of time passing on her body, Glenn Close is determined to change her perception of physical transformations due to age: "I look at my arm in the morning under a certain light and I say: 'You're kidding, I hope? Whose arm is this? Is this a joke? Alright, I see, it's happening."

So I try to get to the point where I just enjoy my wrinkled skin.

Is there beauty in that?

I try to think that maybe it looks like sand after low tide,” she continues.

Stigmatize women's skin

A benevolent point of view which, according to her, is undermined by the beauty industry: “We are so brainwashed when it comes to the skin.

Especially women's skin,” says Glenn Close, who criticizes a distinction between “sensual, vigorous, smooth skin texture and bodies against those struggling to regain their figure.”

Rather than valuing the aesthetic aspect, the star of

Liaison fatale

prefers to focus on the life experience that we acquire as we age: “In reality, it is fascinating for me, because as our “house” gets older, we should become more and more interesting and interested.

And yet you have this facade that people see.”

From the height of her 45-year career and her 86 films and series on the clock (she is currently showing the second season of

Tehran

), Glenn Close seems determined to prove that her value would not be reduced to this "facade ".
