Carrie Coon has a few hot takes on aging.
On Nov. 4, the His Three Daughters star responded to a commenter on X (formerly known as Twitter) who said she looks “simultaneously 35 and 55” and “old and young” (while also looking “fine as hell”).
“Thank you. I totally agree and I can answer this one: 43, generally healthy, two little kids and not enough rest, no Botox or filler. Have a marvelous day,” the Emmy-nominated actress replied.
She followed up with another post that read: “And I’m not trolling you! I really do agree! Feeling ‘fine as hell’ and loving my forties; some days I’m feeling 35 and some I lean 55, but they are all me.”
Others commended Coon for her mindset on getting older.
“53, no way. You do look great. Love that you’re going the natural way of aging,” one person wrote. “As a 41-year-old mom in SoCal, I send a multitude of THANKS to you for avoiding botox and filler as a public figure. It’s so rare and so very appreciated!” added another.

She added that she and her co-star Amber Gray would also “make a sport out of” slipping out of their complex costumes.

And when she was promoting her role in the 2023 movie Boston Strangler, she spoke about her experience with wearing silicone hip pads — and the sadness she felt when she had to leave them behind at the end of the day.
“And when I took them off it made me sad,” she admitted. “I mean, you don’t really notice them after a while — you just notice them when they’re gone and you look like a tree!”
