Michelle Pfeiffer Likes to Let Herself Go
Posted by Richard Head
MICHELLE Pfeiffer “lets herself go” between films.
The Cheri actress struggles to maintain her slender figure when she is not working and hides herself away between roles so she can eat whatever she wants.
“Hard work,” Pfeiffer said when asked the secret to her beauty. “It requires incredible discipline. You have to accept it. If you want to be fit, one cannot eat like a pig, and must exercise. That’s the way it is, and I hate it. There is no miracle cure, and no secret diet.
“Between the films I let myself go, actually. I look different – but I hide it. And I’m good at hiding.”
Michelle turned 50 earlier this year and although she was initially worried about reaching the milestone age, it passed comfortably and she is content after accepting she is in the “second half” of her life.
“I wasn’t happy about turning 50, it is kind of a stigma for women. But it came, it passed, that’s it,” she said.
“It has been a new awareness that I’m now in the second half of life, that life is, plain and simple, limited. Every moment counts.
“But the pressure will drop. It is no longer plagued by premonitions that are worse than anything that could happen. Things happen, you deal with that, it goes on.”
