Winona Ryder is without a doubt one of our favourite eighties icons.
Ever since she starred in cult classic Heathers in 1988, the Hollywood star has not only been famous for her arthouse movies but also for her age-defying looks. And whatever her secret is, we want the answer STAT!
“I love getting older,” the 48 year-old actress confessed in an interview with The Edit magazine. “I think it has to do with always being the kid on set.”
She may love it, but Winona has shown no signs of getting older. With her wrinkle-free face and youthful glow, it’s hard to see how she’s really changed over the years.
But the Stranger Things star has stayed away from cosmetic surgery and previously stated that it’s treated “almost like hygiene” these days.
“I’ve had people say to me, ‘Oh, you should, you know…’ and they point to my forehead. ‘Get that seen to!’ But I’m like, ‘No! I’ve been waiting so long for that to happen!'”
