Gasp! This rarely happens in the world of celebrity females. 52 years-old and still unbelievably gorgeous, Andie McDowell has no problem sharing how much she weighs with the world. In an interview with Prevention magazine Andie talks about body image and how she’s handled it for most of her career.

Seriously..she should do seminars for young actresses and artists so they don’t go all Kate Bosworth at the first sign of stress. Not only Andie fit and healthy at 5’8″ and 138 pounds..she’s had minimal if any Botox/Restylane/surgery. She’s managed to remain a spokesperson for Loreal for the past 25 years so she’s doing something right.

When you were a young model, in an industry not known for positive body images, did you ever have problems with weight?
There was a time when someone complained to my agency that I was overweight. It was after I’d been in New York for a few years, and I was trying to figure out how to maintain my weight. I was 132 pounds then, and I’m 5-foot-8 – and still eat healthy and exercise. So I said, “Tell them not to book me. This is the best I can do.” And shortly after, I got Calvin Klein commercials and a movie, so it didn’t stop me.

You still look model weight to me
Right now I’m about 137 to 138 pounds and I feel pretty good about it. Also, as soon as you get older, your face starts o look drawn – that’s why I think I’m better off with those 5 extra pounds.

Do you have a guilty pleasure when it comes to food?
Well, it’s not a guilty thing – I really do think that chocolate is good for you. And it’s better to eat that than to not have anything. That’s when you end up eating too much – when you feel deprived.
