40 is the new 20! Stars who don’t care about aging
Over the hill is just the beginning for these hot Hollywood A-listers

Kate Winslet, 40
“I don’t feel old. I feel excited about being 40. You can get away with a lot more in your 20s. You can get away with having one too many vodka tonics, and you can wake up in the morning and not have a puffy face. I couldn’t go out now and get rip-roaring drunk; I’d take a week to recover and I value my life too much. Plus, I have children.” — Net-a-Porter.com’s The Edit, October 2015

Jennifer Aniston, 47
“I’ve had more fun post-40 than I can remember – from a work point of view, a physical point of view, a psychotherapeutic point of view.” — Harper’s Bazaar, December 2014

Drew Barrymore, 41
“When I was a kid, I felt like I should be older because I was working and not really being a kid. Then when I was in my 20s, I was like, ‘I want to be a kid finally.’ Now, it’s the first time in my life that my age has met up with where my life is, and it’s perfect. I love being 40. I always felt not my age and now I feel my age and I love it. It feels comfortable.” — The Ellen DeGeneres Show, May 2015

Gwyneth Paltrow, 43
“I wish more women had told me what happens at 40 — how much you integrate with yourself and you really stop worrying about what other people think about you. You kind of come into yourself in the most phenomenal way. Even though physically I don’t look like I looked when I was 25, nor would I want to, but I feel beautiful because I feel myself. I think the 40s are such a gift, and I feel more beautiful now than I did 10 years ago or 20 years ago.” — PeopleStyle, February 2016

Mariah Carey, 46
“I don’t acknowledge being in that age group [40s]. I have no idea what that means. I am eternally 12. I went walking in the street in a stitch onesie the other night with my daughter. I think I have to remain eternally oblivious to age. Honestly, when you put a number on it yourself, it’s just like, ‘Why? Why do that?’ If I weren’t in the public eye, would you know how old I was?” — PeopleStyle, November 2015

Jennifer Lopez, 46
“I feel like I felt when I was 28. My bones don’t hurt. I feel great. I actually feel better, more confident. When I was in my twenties, I wasn’t sure of myself. Now I can really stretch. I don’t have to stay in the box. At this point I can say to myself, ‘So what if I fall, so what?’ I’m going to get back up.” — InStyle, April 2014

Naomi Watts, 47
“I feel so much better as a person now than I did in my 20s, but most of the time I feel like I’m still a kid. There are days you feel like you are on top of it and you are OK and at peace with it; then there are the days you still feel 28 inside — until you catch that reflection or see a photograph and realize you aren’t anymore.” — NewBeauty, March 2016
