Jane Seymour talks about defying expectations and resisting bitterness, and reveals why she won’t marry again.
Not to be shallow, but it is pretty impossible to sit less than a couple of feet away from Jane and not comment on the way she looks. Dressed in white jeans, a red silk top and a multicoloured scarf (her own design), Jane exudes an absolute life force. She is stunning and, yes, up close she does look like a woman in her late forties.
There has to be some secret of eternal youth and beauty she has discovered.
"I clean my face religiously morning and night. I use baby shampoo. Any baby shampoo – it doesn’t have to be Johnson and Johnson. That’s about it in terms of the one thing I do religiously," she says.
"I happen to like healthy, Mediterranean food. I don’t eat much meat. I exercise, but I don’t exercise every day. I have a Pilates reformer machine at my home in Malibu, but maybe twice a week if I’m there, I go to a lady across the road who has the same machine, as I’d never do it myself.
"I have never felt more sure of who I am, and more ready to absolutely make the most of the life I have"
"I grow my own vegetables. I like to do ballet exercises every now and again, like pliés and leg stretches, but nothing dramatic. I use Crepe Erase products [she is an ambassador] and retinol on my face. Every now and again, I fast because it resets the body.
"I dye my hair every three weeks and I have had Botox, but it doesn’t really work for me as an actor because it limits expression. And I had bags removed from my eyes 32 years ago. That’s it." (She also admits to a boob job when she was 40.)
She pulls her hair from her face, turns to show me that the back of her ears are unscarred by surgery. "No facelift. This is just me."
