Tea Leoni’s confessions about aging to More Magazine
As I approach the 30 year mark in December, I can’t help but think about life in my twenties and how I will surely miss those days. I’m still trying to wrap my brain around it all but now I find that I’m constantly forgetting things. Forced to carry around a planner, I write “everything” down, focusing on the important things with highlighters, reminders saved on my cell phone and backups to those reminders on my computer. Gone are the days of sitting around on the phone talking about absolutely nothing and wasting precious time when I can simply twitter my thoughts and questions. I’m constantly looking in the mirror trying to figure out if the line around my mouth is a wrinkle or simply there because I’ve committed to smiling more often. I even cut back on Mocha Frappuccinos from Starbucks to drinking more green tea and reading more health magazines and blogs.
So when I heard from that Tea Leoni is featured on the cover of the November issue of More magazine alongside Jane Fonda and Sharon Stone, I was blown away at how beautiful, sexy, and down right HOT they looked. Now what I love is that as women we are ‘breaking the age barrier’, and re-defining what beauty means for ourselves. As a wife, mom, friend, and business owner, I often forget that I am a woman first. In the article Tea Leoni talks about aging in Hollywood and no longer being “the chick of the flick”, and here are some highlights:
On her upcoming film, Manure:
I’m basically made to look like Tippi Hedren. Hitchcock blonde is what we’re going for. The entire movie is brown. Everything. The sets, the props, the wardrobe, the cars. And I’m the only thing in cream. It’s funny, it’s a very simple thread but at the same time it’s all about our relationship to sh–. Our own, others’, selling it, making it, smelling it, being offended by it, reveling in it, getting hit with it when it hits the fan. But at the same time, we have this incredible cast with Billy Bob Thornton, who is maybe my new favorite person in the world.
On why she believes older actresses are more interesting:
It’s not just that a 28-year-old doesn’t have a lot of experience. It’s that I don’t worry about a 28-year-old, certainly not one who looks like most of the young leading ladies.
On the red carpet and paparazzi:
The red carpet makes me feel like a bullsh– artist. I don’t hang with anybody who stalks press.
