You are only as old as you feel! Meg Ryan (62) was one of the most successful and popular actresses worldwide in the 1990s. With films like “Harry and Sally” and “Sleepless in Seattle”, the Hollywood great impressed with her skills. She is now over 60 years old and is rarely seen on screen. The pitfalls of getting older used to worry her – but now she’s speaking out Meg about how much she loves her current age!
She proves that she still has at least as much talent today in a new romantic comedy. In the US film industry, it is rare for women over 50 to be cast. The culture is “obsessed with youth.” She thinks that’s a shame because: “Getting older isn’t that terrible. We all do it. I wish someone had told me sooner: ‘Relax. It is what it is.'” she tells Glamour. She loves her age and is happy where she is now.
For a long time it seemed as if the Bambi winner had no ambition to pursue her fame on the international market. She was only working behind the scenes as a producer and director. This is also the case in the new romantic comedy “What Happens Later” – but there she appears in front of the camera again after years.
