Jennifer Love Hewitt has been a boffide Hollywood star since the 1990s – and she’s opening up about the unrealistic expectations that comes with being in the spotlight for decades.
“I feel like fans pick this age that they love that they think represents you, and you’re never supposed to grow beyond that,” Hewitt, 45 , by Fox New Digital in an interview published on Thursday, December 26. “For me, it was like me and my 20s. People seem to have a very hard time accepting that I don’t look like that anymore.”
While Hewitt started her acting career at a young age Incorporated Childrenshe got her first big break at the age of 16 when she landed the role of Sarah Reeves on Fox’s Party of Five. Two years later, he became a global sensation with 1997’s hit slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer and its subsequent progression. Since then she has starred in shows like Time of Your Life, The Client List a Spirit Whispererand released four studio albums.
While some may have struggled to watch her evolve over the years, Hewitt – who shares children October, 11, Atticus, 9, and Aidan, 3, with husband Brian Hallsay – sees aging as a beautiful thing.
“Age is age,” she explained. “I think women are really coming into this acceptance of themselves and the comfort in their 40s that is beautiful.”
These days, she stars as Maddie Buckley on Organizational ABC 9-1-1 and righteous discharge The Holiday Junkiea television film he directed and starred in.
“It’s hard because I think as humans, we want to evolve,” he continued. “We want to have lines on our faces, and you know our boobs are lower from breastfeeding our children, or, you know, our butt is bigger.”
However, Hewitt is only human, and he can’t help but occasionally notice the comments of trolls on social media.
“Whatever it is, you want to have the freedom to be whoever you are at that age,” she explained. “And it hurts sometimes when people reject you because you’re verbal on Instagram or the internet because they have a hard time adjusting to it.”
The criticism reached a boiling point last year when Hewitt posted a photo of herself without any makeup, leading to claims that she was “unrecognizable.” He addressed the picture on a December 2023 episode of Michael Rosenbaum“Inside of You” podcast.
“The picture ended somewhere. And a bunch of people were like, ‘Jennifer Love Hewitt is unrecognizable,'” he said. “‘She’s unrecognizable and so she’s gone to filters because she doesn’t want us to know how bad she looks now in her 40s.’ And I was like, ‘This is crazy.’ Right?”
Hewitt also took time to look back at his younger self and offer some advice to the youngster looking on the cover Maxim was 17 years old.
“Look, it’s going to work out. You’re going to start getting older, and they’re still going to let you do things,” he said. “It’s fine. You’re right.”
