Next Paquin owned her age and wrinkles.
I actually have and THAT IS OK!! I was 25 when I started TB and 10 years and two babies later I've earned my less fresh more wrinkled twin mum face. No shame in my twin mum game! https://t.co/A9RGBpsg8c

She also talked about how aging has allowed her to play other interesting roles.
If I never aged I'd never get to explore interesting characters at different stages of life and more importantly wouldn't look believable playing them. What's wrong with reality? https://t.co/NSIJscY3CH
