Gabrielle Union had a few things to say after a troll told her she was too old to be wearing swimsuits
During a recent episode of the Who What Wear podcast with Hilary Kerr, Gabrielle Union, 50, made it clear that she’s not going to stop showing off her beautiful figure no time soon. “Somebody said, ‘You’re old enough to be somebody’s grandma, why are you still in—like wearing swimsuits?’” Union told Kerr. “I’m like, ‘First of all, they’re not just swimsuits. They are thongs. And you’re gonna see these cheeks until my a** literally falls off, and I might just wear a swimsuit in the casket. I don’t know. That just might be for you, for that one commenter… it’s just gonna be like, me in a thong, like, a**-up in the casket.”

She continued, “[At] 35, they start treating you like you’ve got osteoporosis. You start becoming invisible and it’s a weird, empty feeling to feel like you’re disappearing in front of your own eyes,” Union explained. “You start taking on the same attitude as [a] society that believes that you lack value.”
She went on to explain how she hopes her confidence can help others who might have been told something similar. “I don’t want anyone else to feel that invisibility and that sense of worthlessness, because the only people that we need to validate us is us,” she said. “And sometimes, the more that you validate your damn self, the more people are like, ‘Yeah, mhmm. Yep!’”
Union continued: “We need to boldly take up space and boldly claim and acknowledge our own beauty in all that we do, instead of waiting. Claim you, whether it’s you fall in love with a younger dude… you love you more than anybody else loves you.”
