Gabrielle Unionis not having it from critics who say she should not be wearing swimsuits at the age of 50.
Interviewed for theWho What Wear with Hilary Kerrpodcast that aired last week, the actress shared her thoughts about aging in Hollywood.
“Somebody said, ‘You’re old enough to be somebody’s grandma, why are you still in — like wearing swimsuits?’” she said.
“I’m like, ‘First of all, they’re not just swimsuits. They are thongs. And you’re gonna see these cheeks until my ass literally falls off, and I might just wear a bikini in the casket.”
She added: “I don’t know. That just might be for you, for that one commenter… This is for you bitch… It’s just gonna be like, me in a thong, like, ass-up in the casket.”
