Is it bad to push 40? J Lo says it is bad, but 40 is the new 20 !!!


Look at Halle Berry, J Lo, Jennifer Aniston - 40 is the new 20

Look at Elvis Presley at 40, or 42 -- he was a wreck. Then look at Burt Lancaster or Kirk Douglas at the same age, and older, and they were magnificent. So was Cary Grant, Jane Fonda and Esther Williams. 40 is whatever it may be for whomever is that age. It's not old, isn't over the hill and goes for less nowadays than ever before. I'm sure Elvis would loved to have seen 50 and Bruce Lee would have been remarkable at 40, but it wasn't to be. But we certainly can't turn the clock back, so the most positive alternatives have to be the best.

I dont get why she thought it was a big deal. Shes hot. Screw age.

These people spend a fortune trying to keep their looks as long as possible.

Every single one would give everything they own to be in a 20 year old body again (well, they'd want to go on being rich and famous, obviously).

Looking young and being young are two entirely different things. Age has its compensations, but Bernard Shaw wasn't kidding when he said youth is wasted on the young.

Money is the trick. They can peddle middle age as youth all they like to impressionable women that hope or think they're going to looks as good as Jennifer Lopez, but Jennifer Lopez is loaded and has everything in her favor to keep her younger looking longer than any average woman on their best day.

40 is NOT the new 20, even if it looks good. The outside was slim and trim (and probably got that way with more than just training), but on teh inside she's still 40.

Most broads have hit the wall by 40. J-lo is the exception. Halle Berry also still looks good. Jennifer Aniston looks like she should be driving a minivan in the suburbs by now.

Time is a *beep*

40 is not 20

20 is 20

Make them look much younger I guess only smart people see that *beep* I seen a pic of vin diesel without celebrity makeup chubby as hell he looked totally different from on screen its amazing what being a celebrity can do for you

If you eat your greens, go easy on the booze/fags and eat more white meat than red you will definitely look better at 40 than if you do the opposite of all that.

As for the character herself, even if she's still attractive at 40 she knows that she's divorced and there are plenty of younger models in the singles market so being lonely (she clearly is) she's conscious time isn't on her side to change all that.

So she worries about ageing...and worrying ages people. Vicious cycle!
