  • Crazy Rich Asians star, Gemma Chan, is the Brit talent storming her way across the big (and small) screen one powerful, but enviably classy, role at a time. But, tale as old as time for women in Hollywood, the film industry hasn't always spotlighted Chan's inherent talent, preferring instead to focus on her appearance.
    'The film industry in the past has been very focussed on youth, almost fetishising it,' Chan tells us. 'I think that's been incredibly restricting on women - it can be quite oppressive that idea that you're not allowed to age. As an actress it definitely crosses your mind that you're going to be ageing in HD.'
    We sat down with ELLE UK cover star Gemma Chan to find out her #BeautyTruths

    Love that she talks about aging with grace. I think aging is a scary path once you hit your end 30s. You start panicking if you’re not married or having kids yet, and you worry about what your net worth is. It can be very depressing if a person is mentally not ready for the stress that comes with aging. Adding the gray hair, sagging skin, wrinkles and body aches, sickness, etc makes it 10x harder!!
