Sexist prat has got Gaul

-

The prize for this week’s biggest plonker goes to Frenchman Yann Moix. Not only did the 50-year-old author say he found women his own age “too old” and preferred the “extraordin­ary” bod of a 25-year-old. Yuk.

He also ruled out white western women as “pretentiou­s”, saying he liked Asian babes. Double yuk.

Brains, talent, experience – a little thing called personalit­y.

These are the things that make people extraordin­ary.

Next year I turn 50. And, yes, I miss my 25-year-old, pre-baby body. But I prefer my mind now.

Older women tend to be more confident with their bodies and know what they want to do with them. Which, I suspect, is to run a million miles from a silly, selfobsess­ed Frenchman with unrealisti­c expectatio­ns.

If you are so set on the body beautiful, Yann, can I point you in the direction of Halle Berry, 52,

Elle Macpherson, 54 and Sharon Stone, 60. I’m sure they’re gutted to be out of your age bracket.
