Brigitte Nielsen speaks out on ageing and jokes she 'won't leave home' without Botox
Brigitte Nielsen has quipped that she doesn't "leave home without" Botox.
The Danish actress and model turned 60 in July, and she has no qualms about her appearance and ageing.
She laughed in an interview with PEOPLE magazine: "It's like that American Express commercial from the '80s — I don't leave home without it!"
The 'Rocky' and 'Creed' star has never felt more confident about her appearance than she does now.
She said: "I’m just really comfortable in my own skin, which I wasn’t for a long time.
"It’s nice to be 60 and feel quite pleased with what you look like.”
And Brigitte doesn't feel the need to look younger than she is for her husband Mattia Dessi, 45, though she might get some work done if she's not happy with how she looks in the future.
She explained: "70 is a serious number for women.
"For one, it sounds really old. And I've seen the difference in women between 60 and 70. Let's be honest, that's when the gravity really starts pulling things down."
She insists there are bigger issues in life than being obsessed with how she looks.
The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star added: "My attitude on that one is I take it one day at a time.
"I can't always be worrying about my looks. I want to live life fully every day. And if I'm totally miserable with the way I look at 70, I'll do something about it."
Brigitte started leading a healthier lifestyle in 2022, and she wants to continue to be fit enough and hopefully live into her 80s to be around for the couple's five-year-old daughter Frida.
The mother-of-five- who also has four grownup sons from previous relationships - said: "Last year I decided I really wanted to get into shape.
“I lost some weight, weight I’d been wanting to lose for quite some time, and I started a really good, healthy diet. I also got back with my swimming. I bicycle everywhere and go for runs alongside the promenade in the fresh air.
"I’d love to live healthily into my 80s, so Frida’s into her 20s."
