Foster’s ability to turn back time is a closely guarded secret. But one thing is certain: she appears more beautiful and younger now on a regular walk than she did on the red carpet a few years ago.

The actress was filmed by paparazzi while shopping with her son in New York City. And 58-year-old Jodie cannot deny that fact: some performers, even at 30, appear older.

I would like to grow old on film, like Katharine Hepburn,” Foster once admitted. “I enjoy my age. Not for any money will I go back to my twenties. This age is full of apprehension and fear. And that’s something not worth living with.

Women in their fifties are definitely more interesting than those in their twenties. We’ve lived longer, we’re more confident. It no longer makes sense to pretend you’re crestfallen and in the know, to worry about whether you’re cool. Being who you are is a huge advantage.”
