Alicia Silverstone: I want to do more old-lady things

Move star Alicia Silverstone feels she’s in her “domestic life” era.

Alicia Silverstone wants to do “more old-lady things” as she approaches her 50th birthday.

The actress will celebrate her 50th birthday in 2026, and Alicia has confessed to being in her “domestic life” era.

She told People: “I want to do more old-lady things — read in my garden.

“I can’t say that’s ‘old lady.’ I’ve wanted to do that since I was 20 … I’m very domestic, I suppose.”

Alicia admits that she’s often too busy for her own liking.

The Hollywood star – who has son Bear, 14, with her ex-husband Christopher Jarecki – explained: “What I guess I’m always trying to figure out is, ‘What do normal people do? How much rest do normal people get?’ And then try to make that implemented into my life because I work so much, so crazy, I’m always travelling. I’m a machine.”

Meanwhile, Alicia previously confessed that she was initially “overwhelmed” by fame.

The movie star struggled to cope with her celebrity status during her younger years.

She told the Guardian newspaper: “I was so overwhelmed by being famous because I was such a young girl and it was never really my intention.”

Alicia thinks finding fame and success at such an early age means she “missed some emotional steps”.

However, she also acknowledges there were some positive aspects to her early success.

The actress said: “I think I probably missed some emotional steps that needed to happen in a normal situation of development.

“But I also jumped light years ahead in other ways. It’s sort of a combo platter. You gain some and you lose some.”

Alicia also revealed that she never struggled to get her voice heard in the movie business.

She said: “Unfortunately or fortunately, I do not know, I’ve never had that problem with my work.

“I have had it in my personal life, learning to have a voice in my real life has been harder than having a voice in my work life. Maybe it’s because I had success at a young age and sometimes maybe to my detriment, when I should have been wrangled.”
