Jamie Lee Curtis is sick of the phrase "anti-aging."
Curtis discussed her views on aging and the way society addresses it during Maria Shriver's Radically Reframing Aging Summit.
“This word 'anti-aging' has to be struck,” she said. “I am pro-aging. I want to age with intelligence, and grace, and dignity, and verve, and energy.”
"I don't want to hide from it," she added.
The Summit seeks to discuss beliefs about aging and reframe the process as a positive rather than a negative,calling it "one of the greatest gifts in life."
Along with experts such as doctors and academics, celebrities like Goldie Hawn, William Shatner and Rob Lowe, also shared their perspectives and experiences with aging.
Speaking to Shriver, Curtis shared some of the changes she's made to help accept her aging process, one being not looking in the mirror as much.
“I’m not denying what I look like, of course I’ve seen what I look like," she said. "I am trying to live in acceptance. If I look in the mirror, it’s harder for me to be in acceptance. I’m more critical. Whereas, if I just don’t look, I’m not so worried about it.”
Curtis, who stars in the new film "Everything Everywhere All At Once," has also been a strong advocate on social media lately of embracing natural beauty.
In a post to promote the movie, Curtis is seen wearing a yellow turtleneck and white wig and wrote,
"I want there to be no concealing of anything."
The actress also spoke out about the use of things like body-shapers, concealers, fillers, and more to try and hide things.
“I’ve been sucking my stomach in since I was 11, when you start being conscious of boys and bodies, and the jeans are super tight," she wrote. "I very specifically decided to relinquish and release every muscle I had that I used to clench to hide the reality. That was my goal. I have never felt more free creatively and physically."
