Naked at 60? You Go, Grandma!

If life starts at 40, then it’s the 60 year-olds who are really out there, living and loving life to the fullest. If you need any proof that this popular saying has become a reality then you need not look any further than this picture of Jada Pinkett Smith’s 61 year-old mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones. Here she is emerging from the sea in a bikini and rocking a six pack more reminiscent of a superhero than a grandmother. Banfield-Jones is not the only one making waves and putting the ageists to shame because of her rocking bod, patron saint of the cool older woman, Dame Helen Mirren, made jaws drop back in 2008 when she was 63 years-old. She was also wearing a bikini and showing off her toned tummy. The Oscar-winning actress has always been known for her devil-may-care attitude— speaking her mind, drinking whiskey, sporting pink hair and plunging v-neck lines. Miley’s got nothing on her.
And there’s always Madonna, who at 56, is not showing any signs of shedding her exhibitionist, and often controversial ways. She just posed topless for Interview Magazine this month. We live in an “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” culture, and these women clearly “got it”, so why should they stop flaunting it? Just because they’re mothers and even grandmothers? In fact, these women are better role models. Who says at a certain age, women should hide under bulky sweaters and take up knitting, just because they’ve reached their “golden years”.
Here are four other women who further prove that age is just a number.

1. Jane Seymour. There’s a reason why Owen Wilson is impressed with the breasts of this British-born beauty in Wedding Crashers.

2. Jerry Hall. This Texan stunner spoke out against plastic surgery just this week saying people who go under the knife are idiots.

3. Jane Fonda. She looks gorgeous and natural at age 76 — an amazing feat for one of the leading ladies of Hollywood.

4. Goldie Hawn. Where do you think Kate Hudson got her perfect looks from? Her mother, of course. Goldie still looks sexy and stylish at age 69.
