Justine Bateman confronts obsession with her 'old' face: 'I don't give s–t'

So, I was reading this article about Justine Bateman and how she’s confronting the obsession with her “old” face. Basically, she’s fed up with people talking about how she’s aged and all that nonsense. And honestly, I don’t blame her. Who cares how she looks? She’s an incredible actress and a damn good director. That’s what matters.

But here’s the thing: we live in a society that’s obsessed with youth and beauty. We’re bombarded with messages about how we need to look a certain way and stay young forever. It’s exhausting. And as someone who’s been on the receiving end of age-related comments, I can tell you that it’s not fun.

I remember when I turned 30, people acted like it was the end of the world. Like, suddenly I was supposed to be washed up and irrelevant. But you know what? I felt more confident and comfortable in my own skin than ever before. Age is just a number, people. It’s time we start valuing people for who they are, not how they look.

And that’s exactly what Justine Bateman is saying. She’s refusing to buy into the whole aging-is-bad narrative, and she’s encouraging others to do the same. It’s a message we all need to hear. So, let’s focus on what really matters: talent, kindness, humor, intelligence. Those are the things that make us beautiful, no matter how old we are.
