Why Angelina Jolie Doesn't Mind Getting Older

It’s pretty much the consensus that aging isn’t much fun — unless you’re Angelina Jolie.

“I look in the mirror and I see that I look like my mother, and that warms me,” the 42-year old actress-turned-humanitarian told InStyle. “I also see myself aging, and I love it because it means I’m alive — I’m living and getting older.”

Jolie, known as one of the most beautiful women in the world, acknowledges her faults (despite the rest of America’s inability to see them), but manages to look past them.

“Don’t love having a random dark spot from a pregnancy, sure. I see my flaws,” she said. “But what I see that I like isn’t about a structure or an appearance. It’s more that I see my family in my face. I see my age.”

As for her secret beauty tip, the Oscar winner has some solid advice: Be yourself.

“The people I see as beautiful are those who don’t bend to somebody else’s opinion of what is appropriate or beautiful,” she told the magazine. “I’ve always been drawn to people who are unique, different, and just simply themselves.
