“I am not interested”. At the age of 74, Fany Ardan does not want to undergo cosmetic surgery to “postpone the end”.

Like Audrey Tautou or Charlotte Rampling, Fanny Ardan fully embraces her age and doesn’t seek to chase eternal youth by going under the knife. A natural choice that could be seen as a point of pride or activism in the youth promotion industry… but not for him. “No, I don’t care,” he says frankly in an interview Remote entertainment , published on March 11, 2024. “I don’t want to try to please and I don’t want to push back the ending. I’ve always said there are two things you shouldn’t complain about: paying too much tax and getting old,” he adds with his trademark candor.

75 years old threshold

The proof, the symbolic approach of his 75th birthday on March 22nd, makes him unbearable. He confirms that this level does not cause “anything” for him, “except the impression of what he experienced”, in a positive way. “At 18, I hadn’t done anything, I didn’t like the way I looked. Today all these observations are gone and I know I don’t want to continue»– he continues.

If she says she doesn’t want to get younger, the heroine of the movie The woman next door doesn’t berate those who consider cosmetic surgery. “I am not a convert. Basically, I think there is a place for everyone,” admits the actress known for her non-conformity. And to conclude. “What I like in life is difference, extremes, excesses. I don’t want to be told a route to follow.”

Aging “with intelligence and dignity”

in a long interview with Madame Figaro Published in December 2023, Fanny Ardan has already trusted her simple and relaxed report in the face of signs of passage of time. “There is something very tragic about old age. In the eyes of young people, it is even a shipwreck. But it’s interesting to dig into it. I want to go in and say to myself. You’ve known it since you were 15. Now you’re not going to be surprised,” he said, before declaring: “I want to live my old age wisely and with dignity, because I hate the idea of ​​feeling like a victim.”

If: [la société] must turn us into robots who follow the dictates of beauty, fashion, cosmetic surgery and good health at all costs, we are lost.

Indeed, the mother of three daughters explained that she does not intend to let society impose a definition of old age on her, but rather she will decide “when and how” she grows old. “If [la société] must turn us into robots who follow the dictates of beauty, fashion, cosmetic surgery and good health at all costs, we are lost,” he laments before asserting; the goal is to reach his grave intact.”
