Tiffani Thiessen attributed her timeless beauty to “just not giving a s–t.”
During Friday’s episode of “Good Instincts,” the brunette beauty told celebrity nutritionist Shira Barlow that she “feel[s] so much more at ease now than I was even 10 years ago.”
“I don’t know if it’s me just not giving a s—t,” the “Saved By the Bell” star continued.
The mother of two — who is about to celebrate her milestone 50th birthday in January — added, “It’s a different feeling this time around hitting a bigger, you know, a bigger birthday this time.”
Thiessen furthered that she feels there is an expectation for her to look a certain way after shooting to stardom at 15.
“I don’t know, it’s interesting,” she continued. “Yes, I think people will say things, you know… and maybe expect me to look a certain way, yes, but I mean, it’s just not realistic. I can only age the way I’m going to age, right?”
The “Son in Law” actress further explained that she is doing what she can to keep up with her appearance, but is focusing more on her mental health and “self-love.”
“I’m taking care of myself and doing things that I know will benefit the outside exterior of myself that people are… but yeah, those people don’t know what’s happening on the inside, right? [it’s] important because that’s what actually helps the outside.”
In fact, Thiessen admitted that she cares mostly about doing what she can to “be around as long as possible” for her husband, kids and eventually grandkids.
“All those things that are much more important to me now,’ she noted.
Thiessen’s remarks on the podcast come after she was spotted running errands makeup free in Los Angeles Wednesday.
At the time, she sported athletic wear with her hair tied back as she walked to her car from a Starbucks.
The paparazzi then followed the actress to a gas station, where she flashed a friendly smile to the camera.
After becoming a starlet, Thiessen traded Hollywood life for motherhood after she and her husband, Brady Smith, welcomed daughter Harper and son Holt Fisher. The duo wed in 2005.
She also discovered her passion for cooking as she then released the cookbook “Here We Go Again” and took on the job of host and producer for MTV’s “Deliciousness.”
“It is a dream job. The stages where we shoot are probably a good 12 minutes from my house, and we literally giggle every single day on set,” she told Pvnew previously about her latest endeavor.
