Courteney Cox is opening up about her changing look — and what she would have done differently in hindsight.
The Scream star opened up about aging in a new profile in The Sunday Times — and the regrets she has about trying to evade it.

Believe it or not, the particular Friends alum is 57 years old, and she’ s staring down her 60th birthday just a bit up the road. She told the outlet:
“ Oh God, it’s so hard to even hear or say. I can’t believe it. There’s nothing wrong with being 60, I just can’t believe it. Time goes so fast. There’s no question that I am more grounded, I’ve learned so much in my life — what to enjoy, what to try to do more of and what to let go of. ”
In fact, she’ s feeling as youthful as ever. (And of course we’ re guessing being with a hunky younger rockstar helps with that! ) She explained:
“ I feel like I’m young. I have a lot of friends in their 30s and I don’t think about it. To me we’re the same age until I actually study it. ”
We’ re therefore glad she’ s embracing her age these days. There was a time when she didn’ t! Courteney is obviously one associated with the most beautiful women in order to ever grace the big plus small screens, and when the girl age started to show she tried hard to stay within denial — getting work done on her face to attempt to slow down mother nature.
Speaking about the woman past use of fillers, the girl admitted:
“ There was a time when you go, ‘Oh, I’m changing. I’m looking older. ’ And I tried to chase that [youthfulness] for years. And I didn’t realize that will, ‘ Oh s**t, I’m actually looking really strange’ with injections and doing stuff to my face that I would never do now. ”
She says the wakeup call has been seeing online discourse about what she’ d had done — meaning it was way too noticeable. She knew then she had “ to stop” because if that’ s what people are saying about her face, well, “ That’s just crazy. ”

Courteney has previously spoken about having your ex fillers removed. She told NewBeauty a few years back that she had tried them out, then slowly got more and more:
“ The next thing you know, you’re layered in addition to layered and layered. You possess no idea because it’s gradual until you go, ‘Oh sh*t, this doesn’t look right. ’ And it’s worse in pictures than in real life. ”
She revealed at the time a friend (or maybe a Friend ? ) had to show the some tough love:
“ I have one friend who was like, ‘Whoa, no more! ’ I thought, ‘I haven’t done anything in six months. ’ I didn’t realize. ”
At the time she said the lady was off fillers and had given up trying to alter your girlfriend face, saying the natural look was best:
“ I feel better because I look like myself. I believe that I now look more like the person that We was. I hope I do. Things are going to change. Everything’s going to drop. I had been trying to make it not drop, but that made me look fake. You need movement in your encounter, especially if you have thin skin like I do. Those aren’t wrinkles — they’re smile lines. I’ve had to learn to embrace movement and understand that fillers are not my friend. ”
We love how honest she’ s been about all this. And while we certainly understand wanting to look like 1990s Courteney Cox forever — we mean, gawd , who wouldn’ t? — it’ h good she realized that this was more important to keep looking like Courteney Cox at all.
