Sharon Stone loves being called a sex symbol. The
Basic Instinct actress thinks it is a ''pleasure'' to still be praised for her attractiveness now she is in her 50s. Speaking to Oprah Winfrey in an interview recorded before her 56th birthday on March 10, she said: ''It's a pleasure for me now. I mean, I'm gonna be 56 years old. If people want to think I'm a sex symbol, it's, like, yeah. Think it up. You know. I mean, like, good for me.
''And good for every other lady of my age to feel themselves as a sex symbol. Because why shouldn't we feel a sex symbol in our 50s?'' Sharon insists she isn't fighting against her advancing years and thinks the concept of ''ageless beauty'' is ''absurd.'' She added: ''I don't think ageless beauty exists. I think it's just a catch-phrase. And so, you know, I think that's absurd.''
