Why Elizabeth Banks Says She’s “Terrified” Of Getting Cosmetic Injectables – E! Online

With age, comes wisdom—at least, that’s her motto.

“The first half of my life was having to learn everything and make money and put a foundation underneath me,” the Pitch Perfect star noted. “Now, I have all that, and this knowledge base, and so I really feel more powerful than I’ve ever felt before.”

In fact, Elizabeth joked that turning 40 wasn’t a great experience, which is why she’s more than ready to enter a new era.

“I literally felt men look and me and be like, ‘Oh, you can’t make me a baby anymore. I don’t need you,'” she admitted. “It felt primal, like suddenly I wasn’t a sexual being anymore, and in a way that rocked me. Which, by the way, of course I was already married for years at this point. But now I’m like, whatever.”

She added, “And who cares? I let that go long ago.”
