- Ageism is a problem women across the world have been dealing with, and celebs are not exempt from it.
- Kate Winslet has taken it upon herself to encourage women in their 40s to love their bodies.
- She added that women become "more powerful" in their 40s.
The 47-year-old actor Kate Winslet insists she feels better than ever after deciding to embrace ageing. She's hoping to encourage others not to worry about the changes of middle age - insisting women are "more powerful" when they hit their mid-40s.
"I'm 47; there are bits that don't do what you want them to do anymore. There's something kind of fab about going: 'Oh well, that's just the way it is, isn't it?' she explained, speaking on BBC Radio 4's 'Woman's Hour'.

"But I think women come into their 40s, certainly mid-40s, thinking: 'Oh well, this is the beginning of the decline, and things start to change and fade and slide in directions that I don't want them to go in anymore'. And I've just decided no."
"We become more woman, more powerful, more sexy. We grow into ourselves more; we have the opportunity to speak and speak our minds and not be afraid of what people think of us, not care what we look like quite so much. I think it's amazing. Let's go, girls; let's just be in our power. Why not? Life's too flipping short," the mum-of-three added.

The 'Titanic' star went on to insist there are more important things in life than striving to look good - as she's now dedicated to issues she's passionate about.
"That's certainly something that I feel is a shift in this time in my life. I care passionately about highlighting issues that need to be talked about that perhaps people find hard to talk about. And not shying away from truly looking like a hot mess a lot of the time. I mean, who puts on makeup while they're doing the school run? I don't," she added.
