Brooke Shields says that growing up, her beauty was 'a burden and a responsibility.' Now, the 'Pretty Baby' actress feels a sense of 'freedom' when she speaks about beauty.
For some people, beauty really is pain. Actress and model Brooke Shields knows this all too well. 'Beauty, now, to me, means freedom. Beauty isn't as precious, in the same way, that it was when I was a kid,' she said in a video for AARP The Magazine. 'When I was younger, it was a burden and a responsibility. Everything was precious.
Hypersexualized as she made her way through Hollywood, Shields became accustomed to people having opinions about her appearance. 'You have to change the narrative. It’s an affront to people if Brooke Shields gets older,' she told the magazine of handling aging. 'You can’t grow up, you cannot age. It’s disappointing to them that I don’t have the same face I had when I was 16.' 'But it’s been so liberating for me not to worry about it all the time,' she shared.
