Justine Bateman speaks about ignoring Hollywood beauty standards and embracing wrinkles at 57

Family Ties star Justine Bateman spoke about ignoring Hollywood beauty standards and embracing her wrinkles in a new interview. 

The actress, 57, told 60 Minutes Australia ‘When you say “Is there beauty in aging?” aren’t you really saying, “Do you think it’s possible for other people to find aging beautiful?” And like, I just don’t give a s**t.’

‘I think I look rad, I think my face represents who I am. I like it. That’s basically the end of the road,’ she added. 

Speaking about women who use Botox and filler to prevent wrinkles, Justine said, ‘I feel sad for them. I feel sad that they’re not just enjoying life.’

‘I feel sad that they are distracted from the things they’re meant to do in life, with this consuming idea that they’ve got to fix their face before anything else can happen.’

She went on: ‘You can certainly look in the mirror and go “Oh, if I just had like a lower facelift I would get rid of this skin that catches the light, and then I could have that operation where you go into the eyelid, or you know take some of the skin out and this that’s hanging over now, over the eyelid, you can get that removed.’

‘Sure, you can do all of that, but even with that I would just… I feel like I would erase not only all my authority that I have now, but also I like feeling that I’m a different person now than I was when I was 20.’

‘I like looking in the mirror and seeing that evidence.’
