Sizzling at 60 and beyond! Senior stars share their secrets to looking smokin' hot
Stripping down at 60 for a birthday snap to share with the world may not be for everyone – but when you look like Liz Hurley, why the heck not?
The British actress has never been one to hide her light under a bushel and she can rock a bikini like nobody's business.
But Liz went a step further when she recently celebrated her big 6-0 – by whipping off all her kit and posing in a field in nothing but her birthday suit. 'Happy birthday to me!' she said. 'This past year has been a wild ride.'
She paid tribute to her 30-year collaboration with cosmetic house Estée Lauder before saying she's 'in love' – a nod to her burgeoning relationship with her new boyfriend, American country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.

Yet while Billy no doubt has something to do with her glow, the fact remains: Liz has barely aged a day since she set temperatures soaring in that Versace safety-pin dress in 1994, back in the days when she was dating Hugh Grant.
'Liz feels as good as she looks and she looks like a million bucks,' a friend says. 'The photos she posts aren't at all filtered. She really looks that incredible face-to-face.'So how does she do it?
Last year the Austin Powers star shared some of her secrets for staying in shape – and it turns out she's pretty low maintenance.'My mantra is: don't eat too much, too fast, too often or too late. Or, put another way, eat smaller meals, chew properly, ban snacking and eat dinner earlier. I eat pretty much everything but only have junk food as an absolute treat.'
She swears by a lot of veggies, barely touches alcohol and ditched the ciggies years ago. Liz also says she's no fan of cosmetic procedures.'I don't think fillers make you look younger – it just makes you look like you've got filler.'
The one thing she does swear by is moisturiser, and lots of it. When it comes to exercise, she doesn't 'go to the gym or do any set exercise'. 'But I am extremely active,' she says.
One of her favourite activities is gardening and that means lots of 'bendy-downy, picking stuff up'.
And, Liz isn't alone when it comes to sizzling in the official pensioner-age era.
SHARON STONE (67)
How she keeps so hot
The Basic Instinct star set social media alight with her banging bikini body last year when she shared a clip of herself emerging from a swimming pool wearing two ankle weights.
Her physique is down to regular workouts – she loves swimming and aqua aerobics and is a fan of yoga and Pilates too. She also sticks to a mainly low-glycaemic diet with little processed food.
On ageing
Staying healthy is extremely important to the actress, especially after she spent two years learning to walk and talk again after suffering a stroke in 2001.
'I work for it. I work at everything. To me, discipline is a kind of freedom'
Sharon Stone
Sharon is a firm believer in ageing naturally. 'I think there's a sexuality in having those imperfections. It's sensual.
'I don't think there's anything wrong with cosmetic surgery, but I don't think it's all right to distort yourself.'
LISA RINNA (61)
How she keeps so hot
The actress and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been a fitness junkie her whole life.
'Luckily, I was born with good genes, first and foremost, and I know that, but I started working out at a very young age – from around 16.'
I think it's wonderful to see what works for you. And if it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for you
Lisa Rinna
Lisa has come in for some flak from critics who say she's too heavy-handed with the filler treatments, but she remains unapologetic about it. 'There's so much available to us now, which is so great.'
She's a big believer in moderation, 'even though it seems like I live very loudly and largely. 'I get my rest. I eat mostly healthy. I'm moderate.'
On ageing
Lisa has a simple motto. 'I just don't give a sh*t about what people think about me. I've gotten to that place where at 60, I'm so much more confident than I was at 30.
'There's this whole thing about ageing gracefully, and I'm like, 'F**k it. I'm going to age disgracefully.''
GAYLE KING (70)
How she keeps so hot
Oprah's bestie dropped jaws when she appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimwear edition last year, showing off a bod she trimmed down with the help of Weight Watchers.
The CBS Mornings co-host works out five to six days a week and does 30 minutes of cardio on the treadmill and 30 minutes of strength training.
She swears by Jim Karas' book The Business Plan for the Body, which provides motivation and inspiration to achieve fitness goals.
'Before I was doing cardio, cardio, cardio,' she told Oprah.com. 'And I wasn't losing weight the way I'm losing now. Jim said to me that building up muscle really does burn calories faster. For me, that's been the case.'
On ageing
Gayle is all about welcoming the passage of time. 'Each passing year is an opportunity to look at your life and think about what's working for you and what's not,' she says.
Remember life is short and you should take advantage of every single minute
Gayle King
'Take care of yourself so you're healthy enough to enjoy life and figure out what makes you truly happy. Get rid of sentiments like, 'I'm too old for that'.'
BROOKE SHIELDS (60)
How she keeps so hot
Brooke used to do a lot of dancing but after breaking her leg a few years ago and having multiple surgeries, she's turned to low-impact exercise.
'I do fitness classes four to five times a week, mixing in Pilates and anything that deals with strength and stretching.'
Over the past few years she's been changing the way she eats, saying she listens to her body more now.
'I'm really starting to realise if I crave something, I probably need something in it'
Brooke Shields
She likes to eat smaller, 'more balanced meals' throughout the day so she can remain full.
On ageing
The only way to age is to embrace it, Brooke says. 'And that feels quite rebellious because of how society has become so myopically focused on youth.
'We shouldn't lose sight of the value that comes with age and experience and time. I'm sitting with myself more. I don't bore myself.'
I feel like more of a new person now than I've ever felt. I'm a bit more in my own life and skin
Brooke Shields
Brooke is no fan of cosmetic procedures. 'People could probably look at me and think I need it but I'm a bit scared. But as I've grown older, I also realised it's really about what makes you feel good about yourself. And if that involves this procedure or that procedure, it's your prerogative.'
JANE SEYMOUR (74)
How she keeps so hot
The former dancer keeps active with regular hikes around her Malibu home and also enjoys low-impact workouts such as Pilates and yoga.
'At this age I'm looking around me at all the people I know who run, and they've had knee replacements, hip replacements or shoulder replacements.'
She loves stretching and still does ballet-barre moves on a daily basis.
'My body remembers its muscle tone. It comes back pretty quickly.'
The actress likes a Mediterranean diet, sticking mainly to fish and vegetables, and is also a fan of intermittent fasting. 'I like to give my body 16 hours to recoup,' she says.
Botox and filler aren't for her, Jane adds. 'I've been playing a lot of amazing roles, recently two women with Alzheimer's with very emotional scenes, and if you're going to be that emotional, you need every muscle in your face.'
On ageing
Being older can be the best phase of your life, the four-times-married star says.
'A woman reaches a certain age where they've been married or have worked their entire lives or raised their kids, and then suddenly the everyday purpose shifts. Everything just changes and you suddenly think, 'Wait a minute, who am I?'
This is a phase in life when you can give yourself permission to do what you need to do for you
Jane Seymour
'I'm going to live my life to the full. I'm going to be there with my friends, help people where I can and keep the mantra that beauty is body, mind and spirit.'
Demi Moore (62)
How she keeps so hot
She admits she used to be obsessive about her figure but now has a new approach to health, focusing on self-acceptance.
'I was dieting and exercising in a very obsessive-compulsive way,' the award-winning actress says.
I changed my body multiple times but wasn't really myself
Demi Moore
'I couldn't go on fighting my body and my weight – I had to make peace. I started by giving up hard exercise.'
Demi turned her attention to more low-impact workouts and took up hot yoga before switching to kundalini and is now a qualified kundalini yoga teacher.
She follows a raw vegan diet, sticking to vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes in their raw or minimally heated state.While she hasn't addressed rumours she's had plastic surgery, it's widely believed she's had work done.
'Demi does have incredible bone structure, but it seems she's had a lip lift and possibly a face lift, a lid lift and Botox,' plastic surgeon Mark Solomos says.
On ageing
Demi believes ageing and 'being old' are two different things. 'Somehow we've confused that, and ageing is actually a tremendous gift.'I wouldn't trade it – you couldn't pay me to be 21. As good as it might sound, it was torture!'
The mom of three is in the 'most exciting time of my life'. 'My children are grown and I have the independence to really redefine where I want to go. I don't know what that looks like or where it is, but I'm just excited to be living in it.'

28 Years Later: 17 Behind-The-Scenes Secrets You Probably Didn't Know
28 Years Later has been in cinemas for just over a week, but it's fast becoming one of the most talked-about cinematic events of the year. Landing rave reviews from critics and a great reception at the box office, the long-awaited latest instalment in Danny Boyle's iconic post-apocalyptic horror franchise has most definitely lived up to the hype. Starring Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes and newcomer Alfie Williams, the third instalment in the series follows a survivor community living on an island, before some of the group leave to uncover the secrets and horrors that lie on the mainland. And this is only the first in a whole new trilogy continuing the story, with sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple having already been shot and due for release early next year. To tide you over before then, though, here are 17 behind-the-scenes secrets about how the new movie was made… The Oscar-winning director famously shot 2002's 28 Days Later on digital cameras, giving the movie its distinctive grainy look and kinetic urgency. But for the new sequel 28 Years Later, the Trainspotting director went for something a little different. According to IGN, certain sequences were shot with iPhones, sometimes using as many as 20 at a time. Danny described that method of shooting with a rig as 'basically a poor man's bullet time', referencing the iconic slow-mo effect pioneered by The Matrix. 'Wherever, it gives you 180 degrees of vision of an action, and in the editing you can select any choice from it, either a conventional one-camera perspective or make your way instantly around reality, time-slicing the subject, jumping forward or backward for emphasis,' he said. 'As it's a horror movie, we use it for the violent scenes to emphasise their impact.' While the director outlined the technical reasoning for shooting on iPhones, there was also another important consideration that motivated his decision-making. 'Filming with iPhones allowed us to move without huge amounts of equipment,' Danny told Wired in an interview. 'A lot of Northumbria looks like it would have looked 1,000 years ago. So we were able to move quickly and lightly to areas of the countryside that we wanted to retain their lack of human imprint.' While this was seemingly partly a creative decision, it feels like a particularly significant choice from the director, whose 2000 movie The Beach infamously drove tourists to the picturesque Thai island where it was filmed and caused significant coral reef damage. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 28 Years Later (@28yearslatermovie) 28 Years Later's grim Bone Temple site featuring a towering pyre of human skulls took around six months to construct, with the design team using over 250,000 replica bones and 5,500 skulls, according to Time Out. This set was located in Redmire, a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, with production designer Carson McColl claiming: 'There was something about that location that felt that it's remained unchanged for a long, long time'. It may have come as a bit of a surprise to cinemagoers to see Northumberland's famous Sycamore Gap tree briefly featured in one scene, given that it was felled in an act of vandalism in 2023, resulting in two men being found guilty of two counts of criminal damage. Standing for over 150 years, it was made internationally famous in 1991's Robin Hood: Prince in Thieves starring Kevin Costner. However, as 28 Years Later only began shooting in May of last year, The Beach director revealed how he recreated the tree with the help of some special effects. Speaking to Sky News, he explained: 'It had already been destroyed by the time we came to film, so we recreated it for the same reasons that you see the Queen in this… all the things that have happened to us in the last 28 years have not happened.' The tree stump still stands, which could take another 150 years to return to its former glory. 'So we've recreated it deliberately to say that it was still growing… which is a wonderful tribute,' Danny added. Speaking at a Newcastle gala screening in June, the director hailed the North East region of England as a 'magic' place to make movies. Not only did he describe the area's landscapes as 'spectacular', he revealed that one location in particular drew him up North for 28 Years Later. 'The first reason we're here is Holy Island,' he explained, according to Cultured North East, referring to the island also known as Lindisfarne. 'It's a wonderful premise for a story, and the idea of a tidal causeway island is captivating. People get that idea very quickly,' he continued. 'So in many ways it's the perfect setting for this kind of film and this kind of idea.' It goes without saying that Danny Boyle's movies are iconic for their music choices, from Underworld's Born Slippy in Trainspotting to A.R. Rahman's Jai Ho in Slumdog Millionaire. Of course, the music for 28 Years Later was never going to be an afterthought. Scottish hip-hop group Young Fathers were tasked with this mighty responsibility, with Danny describing them as 'sort of like the Beach Boys, but so hardcore' in an interview with Rolling Stone UK. 'It was a huge risk because they'd never done a movie before and it's that thing with any pop group, are you gonna trust the whole movie to them? But you go yeah! Yeah!' Can you remember the last time a movie trailer sent chills down your spine like this one did? The terrifying chant that you hear in the teaser – which also features briefly in the film – is a recitation of the poem Boots by Rudyard Kipling. Kipling's poem was first published in 1903 and was intended to capture the monotony of soldiers marching in war, while the recording used in 28 Years Later is more than 100 years old, recorded in 1915 by the actor Taylor Holmes. Holmes' recitation of the poem starts quite formulaic, but grows more frenzied by the end, and is considered so disturbing that it has even been used by the American military to train soldiers to resist psychological torture, used in what is called SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) schools. Director Danny knew that they'd found the right vibe for the trailer as soon as he heard the chilling poem for himself. 'And then we watched the first trailer that Sony sent us – Alex [Garland] and I remember it vividly – and there was this [recording] on it, and we were like, 'Fucking hell!' It was startling in its power,' Danny told Variety. 'The trailer is a very good trailer, but there was something more than that about that [recording], about that tune, about that poem. We tried it in our archive sequence, and it was like it was made for it.' The recording made its way into the trailer on the suggestion of Megan Barbour, then director of music at the Buddha Jones agency, who knew the recording via someone who had actually been in the SERE training. 'We wanted to work off the strength of the visuals and didn't want a lot of dialogue,' David Fruchbom, Sony EVP of global creative advertising, told Variety. 'Buddha Jones [submitted] three different teaser trailers, and the one that had 'Boots' was clearly the way to go.' With more than 80% of the film being shot at North East locations including Holy Island, Hexham and Waskerley in County Durham, 28 Years Later provided an opportunity for locals to be in the movie. Among extras was Hexham town councillor Roger Higgin, who told the Hexham Courant: 'It was a great experience, and it's fabulous that so much of the region provided the locations and the cast. I'm confident it'll be an amazing film.' Another extra called Peter Thompson put himself forward for the opportunity because he heard casting was looking for runners and cyclists. 'I do a lot of cycling around South West Northumberland,' he shared, being chosen as one of the 'infected'. A supermarket worker called Laura Fulguzi was stacking shelves in Asda when she got the message that she'd been selected, according to the BBC. With the movie taking place nearly three decades after the rage virus infected society in his original story, Danny highlighted the logic behind one very key detail. 'I mean, if you're recently infected, you'd have some clothes, but if you've been infected for a long time, the clothes would just disintegrate with the way that you behave,' he told People. In other words, the infected are naked. However due to the presence of now 14-year-old Alfie Williams in the movie, fully naked actors were not allowed on set under the Child Sex Offences Act. 'We never knew that going in, it was a nightmare,' Danny added. 'Interestingly, because there was a 12-year-old boy on set, you're not allowed for anybody to be naked, not really naked, so they look naked, but it's all prosthetics,' he elaborated. That only came to light during a conversation with the intimacy coordinator on the set. 'So it's like, 'Oh my God,' so we had to make everybody prosthetic genitals.' When the trailer for 28 Years Later arrived, excited fans believed they had spotted an infected character who bore an uncanny resemblance to Cillian Murphy – who, of course, starred as bicycle courier Jim in 28 Days Later. Before this was debunked, the internet ran wild with fan theories, suggesting that his character had succumbed to the virus in the new version of the story. Speaking to Empire, Danny admitted that he waved away concerns that people might mistake the mystery character for Cillian. 'I showed my girlfriend the trailer and she said, 'People will think that's Cillian.' I said, 'Don't be silly,'' he said. 'I ignored her. So I've eaten a bit of humble pie since.' First there was 28 Days Later, then 28 Weeks Later (directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, while Danny stayed on as executive producer). Surely the logical sequel would be 28 Months Later? Well, that was definitely a possibility at one point. 'There was a time when Months was absolutely on the table,' writer Alex Garland told Polygon. He even wrote a script under that name, but his relationship with the director became rocky after they worked together on the 2007 movie Sunshine together, before they later patched things up again. Speaking to NME in a 2022 interview for the anniversary of 28 Days Later, Cillian himself noted that completing the trilogy could be tricky: 'I think there's a problem with that, in that I'm 20 years older…' However they seem to have solved that problem by going with Years, instead, but we don't know how much was carried over between scripts. It might be the last movie you'd expect to influence a zombie thriller in 2025, but Ken Loach's iconic 1969 coming-of-age drama Kes was a big inspiration to writer Alex Garland. 'I ripped off this film called Kes, a very unexpected thing to rip off in a zombie movie,' he explained in an interview with ScreenRant. 'The script I delivered and Kes, both focused on the experience of a young lad, and because I am ripping it off, I wanna direct people to the source material.' We know scouser Jodie Comer is a master of accents, but when it came to playing a Geordie in 28 Years Later, she turned to inspiration in a very unlikely place. Speaking in an interview with Elle last year, the Killing Eve star revealed that she'd been watching old clips of Cheryl Tweedy from ber X Factor days to prepare. Jimmy Savile and 28 Years Later are two things you would never expect to find in the same sentence. Yet, in the new movie there's a truly wild twist that references the disgraced media personality (yes, seriously). At the end of the film, 28 Years Later introduces Jack O'Connell as cult leader Sir Jimmy Crystal. Jimmy and his followers can be seen wearing white-blond wigs and tracksuits, bearing a striking resemblance to the late presenter who, after his death in 2011, was accused of sexually abusing hundreds of people, including children. According to Danny, that's completely intentional, explaining to Business Insider: 'He's as much to do with pop culture as he is to do with sportswear, to do with cricket, to do with the honours system. 'It's all kind of twisting in this partial remembrance, clinging onto things and then recreating them as an image for followers.' 'He's a kaleidoscope, isn't he?' writer Alex noted, referring to the movie character. 'A sort of trippy, fucked up kaleidoscope.' Early on in the film, we see a young Jimmy watching Teletubbies in a group of children before the 'infected' break in and wreak havoc. As he makes his escape, the boy contemplates bringing a Power Rangers toy with him, but ultimately leaves it behind. When we see Jimmy and his followers, many have pointed out that their fight sequences references both Teletubbies and Power Rangers in a crossover no one could have predicted. After years of speculation about whether the 28 Days Later franchise would be revived at all, Danny Boyle has since confirmed his plans for a brand new trilogy. The next film, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, was actually filmed back-to-back with the new movie, and is currently slated to come out 16 January 2026. The Marvels writer Nia DaCosta will be directing that one in place of Danny (who is staying on as a producer), with Alex Garland having once again written the script. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Danny explained that it would have been 'insane not to' shoot consecutively, due to practical and financial considerations. 28 Years Later is in cinemas now. 28 Years Later 'Alpha' Chi Lewis-Parry Answers Everyone's 1 Big Question About The Film 28 Years Later Director Explains Why New Film Reverses Major Plot Point From Previous Sequel 28 Years Later Viewers Are Still In Shock From That Teletubbies Callback In The Wild Final Scene
