Judi Dench Not Happy About Being 80
"There's nothing good about being my age," she said.
— -- You would think Judi Dench has tons to be happy about. The iconic actress has a career dating back to the 1960s, which includes an Oscar win and even being made a dame by Queen Elizabeth.
But Dench is adamant about not loving the fact she's 80 years old.
"There's nothing good about being my age," she told People magazine. "Someone said to me, 'You have such a wealth of knowledge,' and I just said 'I'd rather be young and know nothing, actually.' Bugger the wealth of knowledge."
But even at her age, Dench said she still going strong and has no plans "about slowing down."
One reason for her full stream ahead approach is having lost her husband Michael Williams in 2001 from lung cancer.
"So celebrate the things that you can do and also try and do new things. I believe in that tremendously. But in our job, that's what we have to do all the time," she added.
