Age is nothing but a number.
Just ask Sharon Stone, who candidly shared her thoughts about beauty and aging as she reflected on her upcoming birthday in March.
"Two exact months until my birthday and I'll be even older. Sixty-six," she told U.K. publisher The Times in an interview published Jan. 26, per People. "I like being alive and healthy. And I think that we should all be super-thrilled to make it because I've witnessed any number of people not making it."
In fact, the Basic Instinct actress had an unfiltered message for people struggling to embrace their age. As she put it, "I think that people who are embarrassed about being older are just stupid and ungrateful."
Over the years, Sharon has detailed her budge-proof beauty philosophy.
During an interview with Vogue Arabia in September 2022, the Casino star revealed that her relationship with a younger man ended after the topic of getting Botox came up.
When Sharon's then-boyfriend asked if she used the cosmetic injectable, she replied, "It would probably be really good for your ego and mine if I did."
"I saw him one more time after that and then he wasn't interested in seeing me anymore," she continued. "If you don't see me for more than that, you'll please find your way to the exit."
At the time, Sharon admitted she had dabbled with Botox before, but a scary incident made her stop altogether.
"I had this massive stroke and a nine-day brain hemorrhage," she told the magazine, "and I had to have over 300 shots of Botox and filler to make the one side of my face come up again."
Botox went from being a "cute luxury," she said, "to some kind of massive, painful neurological need."
Of course, Sharon isn't the only star to offer a refreshing perspective on aging and beauty. Keep reading to see what other celebrities have shared about the topic.
