Why Elizabeth Banks Says She’s “Terrified” Of Getting Injectables

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.”
