Simone Buchanan ‘Yes, Looking Young Really Can Be A Curse!

In love and making a comeback, the TV star is relishing life at 50.

Simone Buchanan ‘Yes, Looking Young Really Can Be A Curse!

With her flawless complexion and petite figure, Simone Buchanan would make plenty of women green with envy.

“I almost feel like I need to age a bit more, or at least look older than I do,” the Aussie actress says, without any trace of a smile.

Most people would be jumping for joy if they’d found the secret to stopping the clock, but for this mum-of-two – who first came to our attention as a child actor – it’s like a strange curse that has cost her career opportunities.

“It’s very frustrating and I battle with that a lot,” she admits. “People tell me I don’t look 50, and I’m quite tiny. They say, ‘We just don’t buy you as middle-aged.’ I need to look older, I think, to get offered more roles. There are still good roles for females in my age bracket, but they’re few and far between. It really is a catch-22.”
