  1. >After hitting the big milestone on Nov. 22, the Avengers star appeared on LIVE with Kelly and Mark to discuss how it feels to be 40. “Well, it’s only been three days, but so far, it’s great,” she said.

    >“You also don’t care what anybody thinks, which is so liberating,” she told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. “It’s so liberating!”

  2. Pretty sure I’ll still care what people think when I’m 40 😭

  3. It’s easy to not care what others think when you’re beautiful, rich, popular and everyone loves you.

  4. Probably not as liberating as being one of the richest women on earth with the face and body of a 26 year old still

  7. I think this is relatable, on some level. I find myself finding it easier to not care about what others think as I get older. But also, I feel happier with myself. I think that’s the key..?

  9. Y’all are wild!

    Yea she has a lot more than most.

    Doesn’t mean she doesn’t have the same pressures given her surroundings and industry

    I think EVERYONE who turns 40 experiences this liberating feeling if you’re in any kind of positive position (wealth, looks, whatever). But peace of mind is one of the most enriching things anyone can have no matter your standard

    Y’all just need to learn to be happier… we are only here for so long

    (@ me all you want – coming 45 year old super fucking average dude)

  12. “I do care what everybody thinks but downplay it to seem cool”.

  14. You could’ve thought the same and felt liberated in your 20s and 30s.

  16. I just 40 and I am now officially an old woman. I am not young anymore.

  18. Amazing ! I’ll be there inTwo years queen. Thank you 😊

  19. Just be like a dude, ive felt like this since i was 13

  20. I still think she’s super sexy. When I’m forty in three years nobody is going to think I’m sexy. But nobody thinks I’m sexy now so I guess I’m pretty much like Scarlett Johansson because I’ll continue not to give a fuck when I’m forty. Achievement unlocked.

  21. Took you that long to get to that point. Must be obvious day at camp stupid.

  23. Yeah, but I’m not wealthy and have developed arthritis in awkward places….like my spine. 🫠

  25. This reads to me like she’s trying to make herself feel great about being 40 by lying about how awesome and liberating it is.

  27. Based on other female actress they sure love to complain about not being hired when there is a younger one. And then they sit on instagram taking lewd pics for their ego boost.

  28. I turned 40 this month and all I can say is that I’m a spicy disaster. But I’m great at telling myself lies.

  29. says the million dollar beauty woman. if Scarjo looked like Gwart from silicon valley i suspect she wouldn’t have the same career

  30. Too true. I’ve been there for 4 years now and certainly DGAF

  31. It’s trueeeeee. Exactly how I felt when I turned 40. Free.

  34. Oh thank God now she can do all the nude scenes she wants because she doesn’t care about what the public thinks! I for one think that is very brave and that everyone should shut their fucking mouths until she does it!

  35. This is the same woman who doesn’t believe in politics because she avoids it.

  38. She’s a woody Allen stan. She’s never cared about a whole lot.

  39. Please. This woman’s face will be almost unrecognizable by 2030

  41. I’m not gonna lie, I totally get it as I get older. Once I hit 30, it just sort of clicked that I didn’t need to be so worried about everything socially. In my 20s I was trying to be beautiful, perfect, interesting etc. It really does come down to just not having time for it.
