Julia Roberts reveals the key to her timeless beauty, stating that genuine pleasure is what ‘makes everybody the most gorgeous.’

The renowned Hollywood actress looks just as gorgeous at 56 as she did at 23 when she became a worldwide sensation thanks to her role in Pretty Woman, cosmetics or not.

And it seems she’s discovered the fountain of youth if her smile is any sign of how ‘truly happy’ she is.

Late October saw Julius Roberts become 56 years old. She is well-known for her contagious smile and her friendly, approachable demeanor.

The mother of three, who has been married to Daniel Moder since 2002, has shared a lot of her life with the public for nearly forty years.

The multi-award winning actress made her big-screen debut in 1988 in supporting parts in movies such as Satisfaction and Mystic Pizza.

She later won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of the tragic Shelby in Steel Magnolias (1989). However,

it was her portrayal as the charming prostitute Vivian in the Cinderella-esque Pretty Woman that solidified her reputation as a leading lady in Hollywood and in the eyes of her admirers.

The native of Georgia has since developed into one of Hollywood’s most adored and recognizable stars. With a portfolio like hers, you would think her face would be showing the years.

The Runaway Bride actress, who appears just as gorgeous and radiant as she did when she was younger, claims that instead of attempting to stop aging,

she is just ‘trying to have some peace with the aging process.’ Just accepting that, like it or not, it is inevitable.

Even if aging is inevitable, it’s stunning to see the celebrity in this photo embracing her younger self.

Dutch artist Ard Gelinck produced his celebrity ‘Then & Now’ series, which he has been posting on Instagram since 2017, with a lot of photoshopping and a little magic.

The pictures include celebrities encountering their younger selves, including Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, Keanu Reeves, and Roberts.

Robert still has a beautiful face.

He writes, ‘Happy Birthday to Pretty Woman Julia Roberts,’ as the caption for the photo, in honor of the Erin Brokovich star on her 56th birthday.

Unafraid to flaunt her bare beauty to her nearly 12 million Instagram followers, the celebrity is often spotted in public without makeup.

Recently, the Notting Hill star—who was acting quite naturally—was photographed by paparazzi.

She’s not 23 anymore, so some internet users said she looks elderly, but most appreciated her for her inherent beauty.

One writes, ‘From beautiful to aging woman.’

Another online admirer remarks, ‘Her smile alone makes her look pretty.’ She’s aging so gracefully—what a petite woman.

Not a single crease,’ writes another of the woman, who has been voted the world’s most beautiful woman five times by People magazine.

The Leave the World Behind singer, who currently holds the record for that honor, told People that happiness is

the key to being attractive. ‘Those who appear to be genuinely content. It’s what makes all of them really beautiful.

And when the New Zealand Herald questioned her about what constitutes beauty, she said, ‘It’s a cheerfulness.’
