Catherine Zeta-Jones talks insecurities, beauty standards and anti-ageing treatments

Catherine Zeta-Jones has confessed she has “insecurities like every other woman”.

In an interview with Stella Magazine, the Oscar winner said she sometimes has to put on a front for red carpet appearances.

“There’s a confidence I’ve sometimes had to put on when I walk down a red carpet. I have my insecurities like every other woman,” she said.

“But as I’ve got older, I’ve got much more confident about the way I look.”

The Welsh star also outlined her position on anti-ageing treatments, saying she is “all for whatever makes you happy”.

“There are so many treatments now that don’t make you look like you’ve just stepped off Mars, so it goes back to self-confidence.

“An inner confidence is very empowering for women. Whatever that takes, do it.”

Zeta-Jones lamented the beauty standards thrust upon young people through social media these days.

“I really feel sorry for my daughter’s generation who are inundated with images on social media with filters,” she says.

“There’s not a real representation of a woman. I was never brought up with that. I know for sure if I was brought up in that world, it would have affected me.”
