Sigourney Weaver - Weaver Refuses To Lie About Her Age

SIGOURNEY WEAVER refuses to follow in the footsteps of her Hollywood peers by lying about her age - because she's proud to be 60.

The Alien star reached the milestone in October (09), and she's adamant she will never knock years off in a bid to land more film roles - even though contemporaries alter their date of birth.

She tells America's Parade magazine, "I see actresses who I know are much older than I am, who now say they're 60. It's like, whatever, you know? I just can't be bothered. People are going to hire me because I'm Sigourney, not because I'm five years older or younger."

Weaver admits she is comfortable with her age, because she has a different perspective on life now she is older.

She adds, "At 60, I feel one has all the wisdom that one's accumulated.

"You have a different perspective as you get older that I think makes everything taste better and be more fun - you know you're only going to have this moment."
