Linda Hamilton isn’t attempting to show again the clock.
At 69, the “Terminator” actor defined she doesn’t “chase beauty” as she’s gotten older in an interview with AARP that got here out on Wednesday.
“I do not spend a moment trying to look younger on any level, ever,” she defined. “I have just completely surrendered to the fact that this is the face that I’ve earned. And it tells me so much. And sometimes it’s stuff I don’t want to hear.”
Hamilton, who returns to the display screen within the new season of “Stranger Things” that debuted this week, added, “I don’t chase beauty, and I don’t chase longevity particularly.”
For the star, being current and being versatile are each much more necessary methods to remain wholesome than attempting to recapture the previous.
“I’m fully planted in the moment, but that doesn’t mean you don’t try to be healthy,” she stated. “But not all the time — sometimes it is just a jelly donut.”

“I’m not rigid, which is a fantastic way to get older,” Hamilton added. “I’ve always said that rigidifying is what kills us: the rigid thoughts and the sort of not moving.”
Stressing the significance of going with the movement, she informed AARP, “I’ve tried very hard in my life to stay as fluid as possible.”
“One definition of happiness is being in the middle of a fast-moving river and not trying to swim to the left or the right side,” she went on. “And that, truly, is kind of what my life has been. It’s been a great, fun ride.”
