Kim Cattrall Discusses Aging
Cattrall has been honest about aging and said that she is not opposed to getting cosmetic work done. “I’m in my 60s now, and I’m all about battling aging in every way I can,” she told The Sunday Times in 2023, Us Weekly reports. “There are so many other alternatives now, treatments that stimulate your own body to fight aging. There are fillers, Botox, there’s so many different things that you can investigate and try and see if it’s for you.”
She added, “If you have the money and, more importantly, the right surgeon … It can’t be emphasized enough. You want to look like you. It’s not just a vanity thing. I play a certain kind of woman who looks a certain kind of way. And professionally, I am looking after myself.”
Cattrall also discussed Hollywood’s treatment of older actors and how she felt that the roles dried up. “In my 50s, I felt things slipping away,” she told People. “It was a gradual change, but the scripts were cut in half. [In Hollywood] you’re either an ingenue or a leading lady and then a divorced wife or a cougar. And I’m none of those things. So I wanted to examine that.”
Yet she celebrated her longevity as an actress, having worked in the industry for decades, and contemplated what aging means for her. “The biggest mystery of life is what happens next,” she said. “It’s about embracing the closing of one door. And it’s about your viability, your sexuality, your desirability, and continuing to cherish what meant the world to you. I was questioning, ‘What now? Do you stumble and fall? Or do you flourish?'” A glance at her social media would suggest it’s definitely the latter!
