Cher's Candid Chat About Aging

Cher, the eternal icon with a voice as timeless as her style, is approaching her 80th birthday with her signature candor. In a heart-to-heart with CBS Mornings, she tackled the topic of aging head-on. "Yes, I hate it! I'm 10 years older than you, babe!" she quipped to interviewer Gayle King. While King, at 70, embraces aging, Cher proudly stands her ground, admitting she doesn't feel any wiser with the years.

“Oh, I’m stupid,” Cher joked, “I’m not wiser.”

Back in 1991, a 45-year-old Cher foresaw her future, hoping to do in her 70s what she loved doing then. Fast-forward over three decades, and she's living that dream, continuing to captivate audiences worldwide. "I don't know how to do anything else. What am I going to do? I love what I do," she confidently shared.
