The 43-year-old actress wants to age gracefully and says any lines she may are representative of what she has gone through in her life.

She told Entertainment Tonight: "I feel like I've earned my wrinkles, and I'm very proud of everything that I've gone through in life, both good and bad. The mistakes I've made and learned from, the wonderful things that have happened, the successes, the not-so-wonderful things...

"I don't want to be 26. I would never want to go back there ever for a million years. I think what we want to do is look our best as we age gracefully."

And Gwyneth's key to looking good is "balance".

She explained: "I try to have good nutrition. I also believe in vodka and red wine and cheese and stuff. It's all about the balance, being happy."

Meanwhile, Gwyneth split from husband Chris Martin, 39, in 2014 and revealed the pair work hard to have a good relationship for the sake of their children Apple, 11 and nine-year-old Moses, even though it isn't always easy.

She said: "You have to constantly let go. You have to let go of old ideas, old resentments. You have to put the kids first, which I think people have the idea of that, but then oftentimes, you struggle with it.

"If you once loved the person enough to have kids with them, you have to focus on what you still love about them and what's beautiful about them and all the good aspects of your relationship. You still want a family, you're just not in a couple. So, I acknowledge we've done it in an unorthodox way but it's working for us."
