In our minds Rachel Bilson is still the young actress who made her name in The OC, the angst-ridden teen drama set in sunny California from the early noughties. Reading Women’s Health's March issue it seems that we’re not the only ones who think she’s younger than her years.
“I know I look super young,” she says. “I was flying back home into LAX the other day and the security guard at the airport stopped me and said, ‘Honey, where’s your family?’ And I’m like, ‘I’m 31!’ Maybe when I’m 40 I’ll appreciate it, but as I get older and get wrinkles I’m worried it’ll be, ‘She’s the weirdest-looking teenager I’ve ever seen.’”
I’m sure those of you with a subscription to the magazine would love people to think you’re a lot younger than your years.
Whatever’s keeping Bilson so fresh-faced, it’s not a crazily healthy lifestyle, which we’re sure you’ll be envious to hear. Despite living in a city that is fanatical when it comes to looking great and staying healthy, Bilson finds it a bit too much.
“I don’t do the super-clean-living LA thing. Everyone is obsessed with kale and hiking. And there’s a massive amount of juicing going on.”
