'60 is the new 40' and to look young, keep the 'stress down and the attitude hot' - Actress, Angela Bassett

American actress and activist, Angela Bassett, has revealed her secret to her age-defying looks.


In Allure's End Of Anti-Aging Issue, the 60-year old mother-of-two dishes on her trademark toned figure, skin and feminism.

'It feels good that they wonder,' Angela said in the interview about the people who want to know her so-called 'eternal youth secrets.'

When asked how she keeps her age-defying looks, Angela said: 'As we advance, 60 is the new 40, or 70 is the new 50,' she confessed to Allure reporter Christian L Wright. 'It keeps getting pushed. But you have to keep the stress down and the attitude hot.'

She also revealed that she has a personal trainer that she works out with twice a week when she's home in Los Angeles. 

The 'Black Panther' star went on to define feminism as 'being able to do what you want to do and [being] respected for it and paid fairly for it.'
