Jenna Coleman in the Boots Christmas advert. Wow what a beautiful woman and does not look 35

She seems to get better with age! I think she's found the style that suits her and is sticking to it.

She is beautiful. But 35 isn't old looking anyway? My skin etc went downhill about 39 Grin

No of course 35 is not old, I just think (especially in the Boots Ad) she looks about 18

She’s gorgeous 😍
I’m also jealous as I’m also 35 and my skin does not look that young! 😭

I bet it would if you had a team of make up artists as she may have.

She’s beautiful for sure

But another vote for the “35 isn’t old”, it’s really annoying when people say someone looks good for their age… when their age is quite young still!

Yes she's lovely. Dislike the way she says 'dance' three times, with an American accent though.

Not ONE PERSON has said "she looks good for her age" simply she does not look 35

35 is young still. I looked 18 still I was 35 then aged rapidly! 🤣

I'm 34 and I think I look a bit younger than her. People think I'm about 27 generally and are shocked I have teenage kids. Some people don't look their age though. And I think mid 30s is a bit of an awkward stage with regards to guessing people's age. Some can look late 20s, some can look 45.

‘Looks good for their age’
‘Doesn’t look 35’

What’s the difference? never understood why MN gets its knickers in a twist over the first anyway. It’s fact humans age, and most don’t get more attractive. We guess people’s age by looking at them, the wear and tear on their face, their body shape, weight carried round the middle etc sometimes, a lucky person doesn’t look like the age usually associated with the way they look. So we say, they look good for their age.

I made a similar observation when I saw the ad. She looks very young - very beautiful but I'd go mid 20's from the ad.

She's a northerner, it's her accent.

Indeed.

It’s hardly like she’s 70 and looks 45. She’s 35 and looks very beautiful and somewhere between 30-35 (with good lighting and make up etc)

She's a beautiful woman. Thought it was ridiculous she was chosen to play Queen 'looked like an actual turnip' Victoria. But I suppose fewer viewers tune in to these Sunday evening costume dramas if the lead is plain as a pikestaff.

Blimey the advert goes on for so long are you sure she's not 40 by the end of it? Grin

She is cute looking with a roundish face. That sort of look does tend to age well

I thought you were going to say Jessie Cave (Lavender Brown actor from Harry Potter). She was on House Of Games this evening and I couldn’t believe she was 34 with kids similar ages to me. I’m a bit older than her but not that much but I could pass as her Mum Grin
