She says her age doesn't bother her and she's happier than she's ever been and recommends everyone try not to hang onto youth.
Rachel Ward is clapping back at internet trolls who have criticized her for aging naturally.
“Dear those of you who responded to the brouhaha over the trolls criticizing my appearance, I have tried to do a little better today. I ran my hands through my hair, etc. but anyways, just to say, do not fear aging,” she began her message, offering up some advice to other women.
“It’s a wonderful period of life, in your 60s. I am more fulfilled than ever, and I have no regrets, leaving my youth and beauty behind,” she continued.
“I’m not youthful, but I am a very happy camper. Later years are to be exalted and welcomed. You wait until you get there. They have so many other gifts to bestow that you have no idea what they are until you get there.”
The former model added that she was “overwhelmed” by supporters and offered some advice.
“Don’t worry about me,” she proclaimed. “I do recognize that we’re all a little bit worried about losing our youth and resorting to rather drastic ways of holding on to it, but let it go.”
