Penelope Cruz has said she's not afraid of growing old and is looking forward to ageing elegantly.
The Vicky Cristina Barcelona star, 34, told Cosmopolitan: "Age holds absolutely no fear for me, there is so much enjoyment ahead."
The Oscar winner added that she admires Hollywood icons like Meryl Streep and Sophia Loren as examples of how to age well.
"Sophia is 74 and amazing - every time I talk to her, she's full of wonderful stories about old actors."
However the actress said she suffers from self-doubt and insecurities as much as anyone else even though she is comfortable with the ageing process.
"I know myself a little bit more. Of course, some things remain a mystery and that is a search that never ends, but I wish I was less insecure.
"I've always had my insecurities and most of them have not gone away. I guess we're all vulnerable."
