Legendary actress Joan Collins she discovered the secret to aging gracefully and looking youthful. “I just love life,” she said at the Women of Power event. Although she is 93 years old, the acting star is still actively working, and fans will soon see her in the movie “My Duchess”, in which she has the main role.
Many people wonder how Collins manages to keep in good shape, and the actress has given them the answer these days. “I wake up every morning and breathe the air, try to get a good night’s sleep, drink a lot of water and take care of myself,” she told The Independent. However, she also needs a confidence boost from time to time, for which she has a simple remedy – watching old movies.
“If you’re very lucky, you might be able to find an old movie once in a while Bette Davis. But I like movies from the 80s and 90s, the ones with Jack Nicholson and Sarah Jessica Parker“, she revealed.

The Hollywood star previously said that she still goes to the gym, with the goal of feeling good and looking good.
“I train with my trainer several times a week. Just basic pilates-type exercises, instead of using one of those reformer-pilates machines,” she told The Telegraph. She also admitted that she does not like to walk.
“I’m bored. I walk around the apartment and take care of the flowers, but that’s about it,” she said, adding that she was lucky to have “very good genes.”
“My father lived to be 87 years old, and for someone who was born in 1903, that’s pretty amazing. My mother took incredible care of me and my sister. She gave us all kinds of supplements when we were growing up when no one was taking supplements,” Collins said.
One of the reasons why Collins remains young at heart could be her love life. In 2002, the actress married a producer 32 years her junior Percy Gibson.
“First of all, we were great friends before we got married. We worked together on a play. We enjoyed each other’s company. We hung out. We saw each other the following year. We wrote love letters. It was gradual. We realized we were on the same wavelength. He’s a really nice, kind and down-to-earth person. A lot of people I’ve been with – and I won’t say who – were either neurotic, a bit unbalanced or into other things,” she said a few years ago.
She also referred to their age difference and said that the same is “just a number”. She also emphasized that it is never too late to find love.
The actress previously revealed the secret of a successful marriage and said that she and her husband share the same drive. “I was born with a huge enthusiasm for life. My mother used to say that I never stood still as a child. I did five different things at once. I would solve crosswords, make a dollhouse, read, paint and try to become a detective – all at once! Life is a gift. And so many people waste it. It’s so sad. It’s a gift, and it doesn’t last long,” she told Fox News Digital three years ago.
