Earlier this year, actress Jane Seymour surprised everyone by posing for Playboy Magazine at the age of 67. Now, she’s speaking out to say that it was “important” for her to pose for the publication, and to add that growing older is a “privilege.”
“I felt it was important to show you could be comfortable in your own skin, to be authentically you and to still feel viable as a sensual woman at any age,” Seymour said. “I mean just because I have a number 67 doesn’t mean that inside of me. For me, I feel freer now than I did when I was 30 or 40. If you are enjoying life and you have a positive spirit, you will probably look better, live longer and the best facelift is a smile.”
“Growing older is actually a privilege,” she continued. “Sadly, I lost 3 of my closest friends last year, who were the same age as me. So for me to be here and even having this discussion is a huge privilege. So growing older is something I embrace because it means I’m around.”
Seymour has been with 67-year-old film producer David Green for four years, and she said that she was very happy with him.
“We had been friends first, but fell for each other over lunch one day after we had been, shall we say, released from our marriages,” Seymour said with a laugh.
It’s so refreshing to see an older woman who is still comfortable in her skin!
