'I cried when I realised I was ageing'-55 year Old Sharon Stone reveals ~ DAPALS' ZONE

I was obsessed with Sharon Stone after watching her in Basic Instinct and the Casino. She was and is still a legend based on her legendary scene in Basic Instinct (the interrogation session where she intentionally wore no undies)...Now 55 she opened up to shape magazine on her struggle with ageing .....

It hasn't been easy.There was a point in my 40s where I went into the bathroom with a bottle of wine, locked the door, and said, "I'm not coming out until I can totally accept the way I look right now."

'And I examined my face in the magnifying mirror, and I looked at my body, and I cried and cried and cried. Then I said to myself, "You're going to get old now. How do you want to do that?"

'And I thought, "I'd like to age like a dancer." I want to keep my body in shape like that. I want to do the work. I like to dance and stretch. And I like going to the gym.'

'I like porterhouse steak, rib-eyes and New York strip. This works for me because I have very low cholesterol and low blood pressure. It's not good for everyone; you have to talk to your doctor about that. I also eat fish and cheese. I like clean food prepared as simply as possible.

'I used to love wine, but I don't drink at all now. I think, at a certain point, it's better for women not to have any alcohol because it can make your face, breasts and midsection get very bloated.'
