Jennifer Love Hewitt reveals challenging part of ageism in Hollywood

Jennifer Love Hewitt has recently spoken up against ageism in Hollywood.

“Age is age,” said The Holiday Junkie actress in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.

Jennifer stated, “I think women really come into this acceptance of themselves and comfortability in their 40s that is beautiful.”

The actress revealed what she found the most challenging part of ageing and that’s “public reaction”.

“The times that it's hard for me though I feel like fans pick this age that they love that they think represents you, and you're never supposed to grow beyond that,” explained Jennifer while sharing a quote from Taylor Swift.

The I Know What You Did Last Summer actress pointed out that her fan “idolized” the way she looked in her 20s.

“For me, it was like me and my 20s… people seem to have a really hard time accepting that I don't look that way anymore,” confessed the 45-year-old.

Jennifer mentioned, “It's hard because I think as humans, we want to evolve… we want to have lines on our faces.”

“Whatever it is, you just want to have the freedom to be whoever you are at that age,” said the actress.

However, Jennifer added, “It’s hurtful when people reject you as you are verbally on Instagram because they are having hard time adjusting to it.”
