Glenn set for Close encounter
HOLLYWOOD legend Glenn Close says she is still looking for hot love at the age of 71.
The star, who divorced her third husband in 2015, said: “It’s one of the great myths that you lose your sexuality as you get older.”
Glenn is up for a best actress Oscar later this month for her role in hit film The Wife in which she shot a steamy scene with Welsh actor Jonathan Pryce, also 71.
She reckons her screen romp reflects her real-life passion, adding: “I feel as free and as creative, as sexual and as eager as I ever have.”
But the Fatal Attraction and Dangerous Liaisons star revealed that she is also aware that the clock is running down.
Glenn added: “It’s ironic because I’m thinking, ‘How much time do I have left?’ There are so many things I’m interested in doing.
“It’s one of those ironies I suppose that we sometimes start feeling comfortable in our own skin only late in our lives but hopefully with enough time to benefit from it.”
Glenn is hoping to win her first Academy Award on February 24, following her seventh nomination for a coveted gold statuette.
She already has three Golden Globes and three Emmy Awards.
