“UnREAL” actress Constance Zimmer believes in aging gracefully, proudly and naturally.
“I don’t want to do anything to my face ever,” the show’s 46-year-old star tells Entertainment Tonight. “I would like to get old. I would like to play those characters that get old. I want to age.”
Zimmer, who isn’t afraid to post no makeup selfies on her Instagram account, believes in being proud of yourself, your experiences and your natural beauty.
“You have to know you’re enough,” Zimmer said. “I’m never going to be Angelina Jolie. I’m Constance Zimmer, and I’m going to be the best Constance Zimmer I can ever be.”

And according to the “UnREAL” actress, she hopes to pass on her positive mentality to her 8-year-old daughter, Colette. Colette is Zimmer’s only child with director Russ Lamoureux, and Zimmer has admitted that she’d support her daughter even if Colette doesn’t follow in her celebrity footsteps.
Currently, Colette aspires to be a “singing veterinarian” who also works as a makeup artist on the weekends, but “whatever she wants to do, I’ve decided I’ll support her,” Zimmer said.
And while Constance Zimmer is currently serving as an inspiration for women of all ages, she has previously admitted to struggling with body confidence issues. “I have issues with it every single day,” the actress said in an interview with People earlier this year. “I think it’s what makes us human.”

However, as she’s aged, her confidence has also grown. “When I was younger, it was much harder to figure out how to navigate the emotions,” she said. “In my 20s it was very hard to go, ‘I’m heavier than that girl.’ Getting older makes a huge difference.”
But now that she’s in her 40s, Zimmer exudes confidence and takes care of her body by staying in shape with regular exercise. Zimmer stressed, however, that she works out for herself, not to please other people.
“When we change our body types for other people, it’s very hard to sustain it,” Zimmer added. “But when you’re keeping up a body type for what makes you happy and what makes you feel good, you can sustain that because you’re like, ‘I feel great.'”

To Zimmer, just being “proud of who you are” is the most important thing.
“Be proud of who you are and know that you are unique and nobody can do what you can do and be who you are,” she said. “You are enough and don’t try to be somebody else. And know that you’re going to be okay.”
