Actress Sharon Stone has spoken out about her battle with ageing, revealing that she once locked herself into her bathroom with a bottle of wine in an attempt to accept her appearance.
According to Shape magazine, Stone admitted that it "hasn't been easy" to come to terms with the impact of ageing on her body and she had previously gone to extreme lengths to regain her self-confidence.
"There was a point in my 40s where I went into the bathroom with a bottle of wine, locked the door, and said, 'I'm not coming out until I can totally accept the way I look right now," she said.
"And I examined my face in the magnifying mirror, and I looked at my body, and I cried and cried and cried. Then I said to myself, 'You're going to get old now. How do you want to do that?'"
The Basic Instinct star subsequently decided that she would like to "age like a dancer" and embarked on a exercise and healthy eating regime.
"I want to keep my body in shape like that. I want to do the work. I like to dance and stretch. And I like going to the gym."
