Andie MacDowell Calls Out Double Standards Around Aging
Andie MacDowell was 31 years old when she landed her breakout role in the 1989 movie Sex, Lies, and Videotape, with the star going on to have a glittering acting career with other huge films including Groundhog Day, and Four Weddings And A Funeral. And Andie has certainly switched up the kinds of characters she plays in recent years. In 2021, she played her real-life daughter Margaret Qualley's eccentric onscreen mom in the Netflix series Maid, and she has played grandmother Del in the fantasy show The Way Home since 2023. Now, a two-year-old interview with Andie has resurfaced on social media, with the star being praised for how she articulately called out the double standards that male and female actors face as they age. Speaking at Cannes in 2023, Andie — who was 65 years old at the time — explained that men are 'allowed to get older' in the industry, whereas women see their job offers dry up. 'Why do we have this expectation for women to not age? You wouldn't question Hugh Grant or George Clooney!' she begins in the resurfaced clip. 'I feel debonair. I'm sorry, I do. I feel that. I feel just like a man, I do. I feel fabulous.' 'Why have men been glorified as they age? I've always talked about this, and I think it really is a psychological thing we have imprinted in us,' Andie went on, before referencing her gray hair. 'If you want me to look different, I can wear a wig. But I'm not coloring my hair — it took me three years for my hair to grow out. I'm not going to color it!' Andie then revealed that while she struggled to book roles in her 40s, things took another turn as she got older. She said: 'I'm more appreciated now… We have this idea that men age and get sexy and women don't, and they don't know what to do with you.' 'So as soon as a man turns 40, they just put him with a younger woman,' she continued. 'And then, psychologically, we give them this power. We think that they are sexy because they've got this younger woman. We give them this power, but we don't do the same thing for a woman. We go: 'Woah! Well, what do we do with her?'''Unless she's very, very powerful in Hollywood,' Andie then clarified. 'Then it's different. But for the majority of women, it's a big struggle. And then we turn 60 and we get to play great characters!' When this video was shared to a popular Reddit forum, people were quick to share their agreement with Andie's no-nonsense remarks. One popular comment reads: "propaganda I'm not falling for: 'men age like fine wine.'" 'Every man acts like they're automatically going to look like Pedro Pascal when they're fifty when that is absolutely not the case. Meanwhile I literally see really good looking women in their fifties all the time,' somebody else claimed. 'This is what always rubs me the wrong way about the whole Silver Fox hype and how men just aging decently is way more gushed over and praised than the women who do the same, and how they're allowed to age and not take care of their skin but older women that get work done are constantly clowned on,' one more wrote.'It's wild how men get 'distinguished' and women get 'washed up,'' another observed. While somebody else concluded: 'Loveeee this and love her whole vibe. If I look half as good as her as I get older I'd be chuffed." What do you make of Andie's resurfaced comments?

Andie MacDowell looks effortlessly chic in a peach one-shoulder maxi dress as she attends Whitney Gala in New York
Andie MacDowell looked effortlessly chic as she attended the Whitney Gala in New York on Tuesday. The American actress, 67, donned a peach maxi dress, featuring a ruched one-shoulder detailing and a floaty silhouette. She added inches to her height with nude court heels and toted her essentials in a metallic silver mini handbag. To complete her look, Andie let her grey curls cascade freely over her shoulders and opted for a naturally radiant makeup look. The Whitney Gala is an annual fundraising event held by The Whitney Museum of American Art. It's a star-studded affair that raises money to support the museum's exhibitions, collections, and education programs. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Andie revealed how she stays in great shape as she stunned in a silk silver dress at Cannes Film Festival in France last week. 'I love to exercise, I go to yoga and I walk a lot,' she noted as she went braless in the silky negligee. She continued: 'Everyone talks about ageing arms and I can be hard on myself about my arms because they're not perfect any more, but they're actually not that bad. 'I try to go without sleeves and not cover up too much. They're not bad!' The Hollywood star also insisted she won't 'cover up too much', adding: 'When you age, your skin changes, and the way your skin looks changes. 'I tell myself, in ten years time you're going to say those arms were fabulous. Remember what you thought about your legs and all that time that you wasted? 'So, for me now, I show my arms because I do work out a lot, and they look pretty good.' The actress, who has previously modelled for brands like Calvin Klein, told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: 'I think it's important not to look in the mirror too much. 'Your substance and your beauty comes from the inside, so I do my skincare and a little make-up before I leave the house, and then I don't think about it. Just enjoy your life and let the beauty radiate from the inside.' Andie now wishes she were more lenient on herself during her younger years. When asked if she would do anything differently, the movie star explained: 'I would tell my younger self not to worry about what people think. She added: 'To trust myself and feel good about my body.' Andie also admitted there was a part of her body she did not like: 'Oh my God. My legs were so great and I didn't like them because they were athletic,' said the St Elmo's Fire star.' The star previously claimed that she feels 'too old' to conform to Hollywood's beauty standards. She has enjoyed a successful career in the movie business, but Andie feels female stars continue to face unhealthy pressures. She told People: 'I did a fitting and the dress was really tight around my waist. It looks so good, but I woke up and I just knew it was not the right thing for me to do. 'I wanted to wear something that was comfortable. And, of course, immediately, I shamed myself for not being able to fit into this dress. But that's Hollywood.'

The Best Off-Duty Moments From Cannes 2025
Skip to main content From Bella Hadid to Andie MacDowell, Cannes's off-duty moments paint just as vivid a portrait of the festival as any red carpet shot I love to see Bella Hadid pivot and pose on the steps of the Grand Théâtre Lumière in a gilded Schiaparelli necklace shaped like fanning bronchi, but it is the model's off-duty moments that have arguably had the greatest impact on fashion culture. Not because they're any less curated, of course, but because it's easier to see yourself reflected in a pair of jeans and a nice top, or a casual dress and trainers, than a red-carpet ballgown that has taken God-knows-how-many-hands to bring to life. While the idea of a celebrity being visible in public without the help of a professional stylist is, at this point, rare – it is not unusual. And yet Cannes is a strange place in the sense that there is never (ever) an organic off-duty moment. Guests will arrive in the south of France with Rimowas packed with pre-planned looks not just for their official engagements, but for whenever it is they leave their hotel rooms. It's a phenomenon that produces brilliant images – like that of Hadid licking ice cream from the banks of the Plage du Midi in a Hushidar Mortezaie dress patch-worked from keffiyeh fabric, or waving from the windows of the Hôtel Martinez in a lace-up Versace autumn/winter 2003 dress – which end up painting just as vivid a portrait of Cannes as any red carpet. Scroll to see the best 'off-duty' moments from the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, here.
