There have been some recent statements by 36 year-old Uma Thurman that make it sound like she’s a little depressed as she gets older and her sex symbol status diminishes. She supposedly said that guys don’t hit on her, but I would suspect that quote is made up since the wording sounds decidedly British and I can’t find a source:
Men rarely chat me up, if I’m honest. And certainly not the right sort. ‘I’m not sure what the right sort is, although cheesy chat-up lines definitely don’t work on me. I’ve heard quite a few of those. The worst has to be, ‘Hey, has anyone ever told you that you look like Uma Thurman?’
And she’s also bemoaned her “sagging” body, which still looks great. This was also reported in a British magazine, but the quote sounds a little more realistic to me:
‘I really like the gym but I never find time to go when I’m working,’ she tells The Mail On Sunday.
‘I work and then I have my personal life with my kids, so I am left with an ever-softening body… my ever-sagging body.’
That just happens when you get older, but why sweat it when you still look better than 90% of the women in your age bracket? Thurman is gorgeous, she just needs to work it a little more and hire a makeup artist before she goes to events. She’s using crappy mascara here that doesn’t even cover her lashes, just a smudge of eyeliner, and she doesn’t even seem to have foundation on. Many celebrities look too made up before events, or they do it poorly themselves with a heavy hand like Gwyneth Paltrow, but Thurman looks like she spent five minutes in front of the mirror applying less than the basics and just said ‘f it.
Thurman is shown at 5th Annual Women of Discovery Awards in New York on 3/1/07. Pictures from Gossip Rocks.
I love that Uma Thurman isn’t conventionally pretty. I imagine she must have had a few rough adolescent years because she has some gawky features – and yet she’s so hot.
She just looks exaughsted in these pictures, but she’s so pretty we can forgive her 🙂
WTF..She was never a sex symbol! I don’t know what she was thinking. She has the face of a bird and the body of a 55 year old women…can u say saggy skin. NEXT!
She’s okay. She’s been through a couple of kids and a failed marriage. Did anybody see those pictures of Jessica Alba who is only twenty something with those huge bags?
She was always ugly and strange looking. The only reason people made such a fuss over her is because of the blonde hair and blue eyes on a young slim body.
Isn’t she a former model? And she looked amazing in The Producers – those legs! I think she’s gorgeous, and she should embrace her age and body.
Ugh, I have never thought she was even remotely attractive.
I think that her carriage and attitude help to make her more attractive than she would be with her looks alone. I quite like her and the fact that she refuses to go the plastic route. Youth obsession is a ridiculous, losing game.
I do wonder what’s up with her right eye in those photos–why is it smaller than the left?
I always wonder if women like her pick partners like Ethan Hawke and become insecure or if they’re insecure and that’s why they pick partners like Ehan Hawke.
She shouldn’t worry – everyone who lives long enough is going to get old and saggy. She’s lucky she was considered a sex symbol for so long.
“I do wonder what’s up with her right eye in those photos–why is it smaller than the left?”
Her whole face is asymetric. My sister thinks she’s gorgeous and mainly because she loves the way her face is oddly proportioned. I dont get it but different strokes….
I think she’s just female. I don’t know any female over 25 who actually likes the way she looks. Movies are so beauty-oriented that it must be more-so for actresses. And she sees all those papparazzi pictures.
Guys may not chat her up much because she’s tall? Some guys are insecure about that sort of thing. She should go to Sweden! Or any place in Northern Europe.
Do this is me or this is the second celebrity in two months whining about how mens don’t talk to her anymore?
A little while ago, Elle Macpherson came with the same dumb plight about not having enough mens. Well, I have a newsflash for those two dimwits; the days when you were able to pull the “Guys, I am burning oxygen over here!” move (A.K.A. doing nothing) are long gone. You are both divorced and with childrens. You can’t compete with the new 19 years-old starlet.
When those two womens will stop acting “High and Mighty” in their Ivory tower and stop equaling “No Mens” with “No rich, model-looking 25 years-old stud”, they will get a better lovelife.
As far as I am concerned, it’s in their hands.
Okay, she is NOT a dimwit.
But not using correct english doesn’t make you look like Einstein either, hon.
gg, english is not my native language. I keep on getting better but it takes time.
On the other side, I never claimed to be an Einstein. I am just allergic to celebrities that whine.
I love Uma Thurman. And yes, she is very attractive in a strange, interesting sort of way. She doesn’t look like anybody else and i like that.
Yes she’s unique and natural and that makes her beautiful. She just looks exhausted in these pics.
she is doing just fine, she still has contracts with tag heuer and another one like louis vuitton, or some such. with the airbrushing magicians tweaking those pictures, she still looks just perfect.
she just looks tired…or stressed.
i thought that ethan hawke was cute, well that was before he cheated on her with some lady in canada. what kinda turned me off to uma is when all the buddhism and the dalai lama is the new big guru movement went on and on and on about it. whatever, everything goes in cycles, and the dalai lama probably raked in enough money to have a big flat in manhattan and his own island. lol
Its easy to bitch about people you havent met but I’d bet all my life savings on the fact that if Uma Thurman was someone you and your circle of friends and relatives actually knew, that she would be considered one of the hottest. She’s tall, blonde, blue eyed and has amazingly high cheekbones with luscious lips and some of you still think she’s fug?? Man, you need to get out more and see what’s actually on the street. In fact, you dont have to go out, just have a look in the mirror. I’d love to look like her, she’s dynamite.
