What was the last compliment you received from a friend? If you’re asking Julia Roberts, it was one about the appearance of her face (no surprises there). However, this compliment wasn’t about a lack of wrinkles, smooth skin or zero age spots, it was simply that she looked like herself. And the friend that gave it to her? Oh, just George Clooney. No big deal.
During a three month stint in Australia filming their latest film, Ticket To Paradise, Julia told Marie Claire’s November issue, “[George] has known me for such a long time and he is so sweet when he says to me ‘the fact that you have the same face is such a comfort.'” She continued, “I guess there is almost a nostalgia to see a longtime friend who still looks like your friend.”
Where does Julia stand on ageing naturally?
It’s this same nostalgia that recently prompted Julia to turn down an anti-ageing cosmetic treatment. “I went to a dermatologist recently for a skin check and he looked at the side of my face and says, ‘oh, do you want me to fill this in?'” pointing toward her smile lines. “Fill them in? You know how many good stories are in there? How many good laughs? How many great dinner parties? Fill them in? What are you talking about?,” she recalled.
Reflecting on the intense pressure women face to upkeep and maintain their appearance, she said, “ageing gets such a bad rap.” However, Julia is making it a priority to shut out the “outside voices,” focusing only on those that matter. One of the most important being her partner, David Moder. “When he’s looking at me, I feel immense joy,” she said. “He’s not looking at me [and thinking] like, she’s getting old. He’s looking at me like, ‘I’ve been with this person for 20 plus years. This is my person and this is what they look like.'”
Admitting this is how she feels today, Julia asks, “will I feel this way in 10 years? I don’t know.” If Julia’s current attitude is any indication, we don’t think she’ll be anything but kind to herself as she ages.
What do you think about Julia’s attitude towards ageing?
She looks good for her age, as does Mr Clooney. Their faces look natural and character-filled.
Yes they both look great
Yes they are real which is a beauty of it’s own
I love that’s she’s natural and she really hasn’t changed or aged much. And if you zoom in on the photo of her she even has yellow teeth.
Cute. Love their friendship vibes.
Julia looks great <3
What a lovely compliment to receive – from anyone!
Love Julia’s attitude on ageing.
Julia looks amazing! Where are her
frown lines?
Some people don’t change their face too much as they get older, depends on how healthy you are and if you are blessed with good skin etc in the first place. And how much toxins you are exposed to in life, especially if you smoke or around smokers, a real killer for skin.
Julia is great, I wish every woman could feel so positive, ageing gets such bad rap.
i have always loved Julia
Ageing is ok, it shows wisdom and we are still beautiful.
Julia looks great and she always seems to be smiling.
Julia has a fantastic attitude to ageing. She’s such a natural.
Yes she is so down to earth
She is always looking good.
Love it. Shame pressure is on women to “fill” lines, hide greys etc, zero pressure on men.
I agree.
We put it on ourselves -so silly
It is always a relief to see older celebrities who actually look older (even if most still look younger than their age).
I think her attitude is great, totally agree with her! And she looks amazing as usual.
They have great chemistry together and they both look great
Good on you Julia -You are a beautiful woman and your attitude is so healthy
I love it!
Good on Julia! Always annoying when film stars change their whole appearance with cosmetic procedures.
They don’t look as real either and end up looking plastic
Agreed! I remember when Rebecca gibney started not to look like Rebecca Gibney anymore and It was even more annoying when I read how she had ‘done’ nothing!
….when it was very obvious she had. I loved it when the ‘Friends’ star with dark hair (forgot her name) stopped using fillers and went all natural again and looked like herself again!
Courtney Cox.
She doesn’t seem to age nor care about doing so
I saw Ticket To Paradise last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
She seems lovely and down to earth.
Julia’s partner’s name is Danny Moder, not David Moder. I did laugh though in Ticket to Paradise when her daughter’s father-in-law to be said she reminded him of a beautiful horse!
At least she still looks natural I’m thinking she’s had a little something done though
Her hubby is Danny not David
I love her perspective on ageing. Good on her!
Yes she obviously has good genes but also a great attitude
It’s refreshing to hear.
She is so beautiful!
Beautiful onscreen pair!
That’s for sure.
Yes it is great to be able to be yourself.
I’m a few years older than her, I wish I looked even close to how good she looks!
Julia Roberts certainly looks good for her age looking after her Skin and Hair. She will no doubt age gracefully.
Oh i love these two
I love Julia Roberts. Great actress & such a natural beauty.
Such a nice thing to say
Good on her.
It is refreshing to find a famous person, Julia Robert’s, who at this stage, enjoys the look of her face with the smile lines. Love her reference to the smiles and laughs that gave them to her. George looks good as well.
I haven’t seen them yet in Ticket to Paradise. Julia is such a natural beauty, I remember the last movie I ever saw at the drive in (which was years ago) was a Julia Roberts movie and I think she’s hardly changed at all since then.
It’s a very Hollywood compliment though, isn’t it? Because everyone else around her no longer looks like themselves because of all the work they’ve had done.
They both still look good
Agree. Ageing well.
I love this attitude. Wrinkles are so full of stories!
Ageing is to be embraced. We all get yellow teeth as we get older etc. I loved her when she played Elizabeth Gilbert in Eat Pray Love.
Julia’s attitude to ageing is inspiring and healthy and what a wonderful example she sets for others to follow.
Very sensible attitude.
Mmm George Clooney 😀
Appreciate for anyone standing for natural ageing because that takes away the pressure for expensive ‘works’ on face.
She looks great and no signs of aging so far! Aging is a part of life
