Sophie Marceau is a French actress who will celebrate her 54th birthday this year. It has been in the public eye for 40 years, ever since Boom was released in 1980. Viewers from all over the world could watch a 13-year-old girl from the screen grow up, then become a young girl, then turn into a woman and finally grow old.
The face of Sophie Marceau today is often cited as an illustration of tired aging. The actress really does not have many age-related wrinkles, but over the years her eyelids have dropped, the skin has lost its elasticity, and the general appearance is sometimes rather tired. But despite this, Marceau never thought about plastic surgery, which could rejuvenate her.
If you look at her American colleagues, after 50 years it is difficult to find an actress even without Botox and fillers. But Sophie is categorical in this matter, and all because she lives in harmony with herself. She prefers to smile broadly and look age in the eyes, rather than sculpt a young girl out of herself.
"Madam, I am not 15 years old!"
The actress accepts all her age-related changes with dignity, because she is realistic and does not want to look funny, deceiving someone, as many other celebrities do. At the same time, she admits that there are a lot of other people for whom the image and preservation of youth by any means are important. And you have to put up with it and take a hit.
“I like getting old. I realize that physically I sometimes look like an empty bag, but that doesn't matter. Others find it hard to accept. The other day a Japanese woman told me: “Oh, you lost your chubby cheeks! To which I replied: "Madam, so I'm not 15 years old!" I do not want to hide the realities of my age and be misunderstood. I'm not a dreamer, not a dreamer, I need to be in touch with reality. "
Eating, sleeping and smiling
The actress calls the main secret of her excellent mood and well-being to discipline and a healthy lifestyle, which she was instilled in her parents' house. And in most of the photos, Sophie smiles sincerely, which also benefits the image.
“I am in good health. I am not a gourmet and was brought up in a simple family, but it was important for my mother that we eat well and get enough sleep. It always disciplined me. Now I am doing everything I can to stay healthy and fresh: some sports, massages, beauty treatments, gray hair painting. But I want to remain myself and will never get plastic. And in general, I dream of retirement, but I have a lot of work ahead. "
The dictate of youth against natural aging
The actress opposes the imposition of the cult of eternal youth against her will. Today, when the world of gloss and Instagram is ruled by retouching, it is more and more difficult to do it. People lose touch with reality and it becomes difficult for them to accept themselves as real. And at the same time, it is not easy for anyone to grow old, and only harmony with oneself and love can make this process less painful.
“We, public people, have to pretend in photographs that we are 20 kg less and we are 20 years younger. The other day I even left the photo shoot because of this. I don't want there to be such a difference between photography and real life!
Youth should not become a dictate. I do not think that men like women who do plastic surgery so much. When you love someone, you love a woman or a man, regardless of their age.
Of course, it's not easy to see you get old and accept it. Especially working in films, where the picture is of great importance. But the time comes when you need to paint your life with other colors, light it up, illuminate it with bright light. We all have to get used to the idea of aging, but it is much easier to do this when we live in love and harmony with ourselves. "
