It’s hard to imagine someone as gorgeous and successful as Catherine Zeta-Jones having any doubts about her appearance. But it just goes to show that even the most seemingly perfect people have their struggles. And about regrets, well, we all have ours, but Catherine’s did touch our hearts.

Turns out, Catherine has insecurities.

Catherine Zeta-Jones, the stunning Welsh actress, made a surprising revelation. Despite being one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, the 53-year-old actress confessed that she has insecurities, just like anyone else. Zeta-Jones admits that topping lists for the “most beautiful” women has its pressures. She explains, “Oh, always. When I read a script and the character’s description has the prefix of ’beautiful, stunning, gorgeous,’ it’s always intimidating.”

Despite her successful career in Hollywood and her reputation as a stunning actress, Zeta-Jones confesses that she never considered herself gorgeous. “Personally, I would never consider myself a great beauty, but my mother always told me to make the best of myself,” she noted.

With time and experience, she has been able to embrace her natural beauty.

When asked about pretending to be someone else, the Wednesday actress shared that she sometimes needs to exude confidence while walking the red carpet, despite having insecurities: “There’s a confidence I’ve sometimes had to put on when I walk down a red carpet. I have my insecurities like every other woman.”

Catherine shared that, with age, she has developed a greater sense of self-assurance when it comes to her physical appearance. She stated, “But as I’ve got older, I’ve got much more confident about the way I look.”

In addition to her comments about confidence, Catherine Zeta-Jones shared her love for Old Hollywood glamour and makeup. She expressed her fondness for makeup to the point that she won’t even take out the trash “without mascara on, or eyeliner.”
