Why Brooke Shields Is Saying “F–k You” to Aging Gracefully

And while the Commence founder isn’t quite ready to go gray, she is learning to accept other signs of aging.

“Yeah, things ache,” she said. “And I wish I could sleep more. I wish everything was higher. I wish I didn’t need kinesiology tape to bring my knees up to where they should be.”

Despite her body’s changes, Brooke is celebrating one of the greatest gifts of getting older.

“I am more youthful now than I was in my youth,” she expressed. “My energy, my confidence, my lack of self-judgment. The negative tapes that I played [in my mind]… they don’t play anymore. They’re all stretched out.”

If anything, the Blue Lagoon star is teaching self-love to her daughtersRowan Francis Henchy, 21, and Grier Hammond Henchy, 18, who she shares with husband Chris Henchy.

“When my girls say, ‘Oh, mom, what do you think about lip filler?'” Brooke explained, “I’m like, ‘I will divorce you.'”
