Janet Jackson believes that aging is inevitable. She hopes, however, to master this process with grace and dignity.
US singer Janet Jackson (55) says she doesn’t have any major problems with getting older.
“Each of us wants to stay young forever, but it is inevitable. We all have to go through it, ”she said in an interview with Allure magazine on Tuesday. She doesn’t want to over-fill, stretch, or freeze her face. “I don’t know when my day will come, but at some point it will come and I can choose which way to go. I hope I age with grace. It is either a bit pimped up or graceful. “
She is glad that women in the music industry today are defining their own ideals of beauty, Jackson said. Today women feel “comfortable in their skin, with their size, their full figure, and I think that’s great, it’s different than it used to be,” she said. «You always had to be thin and have a certain appearance. Now everything is accepted, everything is beautiful, and I absolutely love that. ” Among her younger colleagues, she especially admires the rapper Lizzo (33) in this regard.
