Young-at-heart Brooke Shields takes leap of faith in fun video
It’s a long time since The Blue Lagoon, but Brooke Shields hasn’t lost her touch for looking fabulous on a deserted beach.
The 51-year-old actress, who came to fame in the movie set on a tropical island, has posted a cute video on Instagram from her recent holiday at the beach. The mother of two and former Calvin Klein model looks like she’s plunging into her own blue lagoon, although she doesn’t disclose the location.
Earlier, she posed glamorously, but precariously, on a big piece of driftwood, saying she was “trying to creat an @indiahickstyle pose” – a reference to the tropical India Hicks lifestyle brand.
But last month, in another series of Instagram posts, Shields admitted that maintaining a model physique was “hard work”. She also demonstrated that she was keen on sun protection, donning a big hat to pose with a friend.
Shields started modelling at just 11 months old and has recalled that her mother advised her to leave her famous eyebrows alone.
“My mom would always say to me, ‘Don’t touch them’,” the star told People magazine.
Shields has also been candid about the good, and bad, bits about ageing.
“The toughest thing is giving up wanting to look like you did at 26,” she says. “But the easiest part is this feeling that this is who I am. It’s more important that I feel good than it is to have people think I look good.”
I definitely feel sexier and definitely more confident. I’ve stopped comparing myself to other people. Still I fall prey to it. But you just have to knock yourself and say ‘Nope, don’t do that.’ It’s just counterproductive’,” she added.
