In a refreshingly candid interview, acclaimed actress Niecy Nash-Betts is opening up about her personal stance on cosmetic enhancements and the joy she finds in aging naturally. At 55 years old, the star is fully embracing every change that comes with time, offering an empowering perspective on self-acceptance.
Embracing Natural Aging with Confidence
While many in Hollywood opt for surgical procedures to maintain a youthful appearance, Nash-Betts is celebrating this chapter of her life without considering cosmetic alterations. She clarified her position in a recent discussion with Interview Magazine, published on Thursday, stating "I'm not above it if it works for you" regarding cosmetic enhancements for others.
The "RENO 911!" star explained that her career demands facial mobility, making cosmetic procedures particularly impractical for her professional needs. "I'm in a situation where I really have to be able to move my face," Nash-Betts emphasized. "You can't be in a remake of 'Roots' with your cheekbones up to your eyebrows."
Finding Joy in the Second Act
Nash-Betts' approach to aging reflects deep self-confidence and comfort in her own skin. When discussing what it feels like to turn 50, the actress couldn't contain her enthusiasm for this life stage.
"Oh, I've been having more fun now. Don't I look like I got Benjamin Button's disease? I'm aging backwards," Nash-Betts joked during the conversation. She attributes her vibrant appearance to a fulfilling lifestyle, noting "I live a very happy and satiated lifestyle. I could work a 16-hour day and still come home and make time to get in a hot tub and drink champagne."
Thriving Career Amid Mixed Reviews
Those demanding 16-hour days come from her work on the new HULU series "All's Fair," which features an impressive ensemble cast. Nash-Betts stars alongside Teyana Taylor, Kim Kardashian, Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, and Glenn Close in the project.
While the series hasn't received universally positive responses, co-star Glenn Close directly addressed the critics in a distinctive manner. On Thursday, the veteran actress posted a whimsical hand-drawn illustration to Instagram showing her and her co-stars smiling mischievously as they hover over a bubbling pot containing a dead rabbit.
This artistic choice served as a clever nod to Close's iconic role in the 1987 film "Fatal Attraction," where her character infamously boiled a rabbit that belonged to the daughter of a love interest. The creative response demonstrates the cast's unified front in the face of criticism.
