Carrie Bickmore has long been one of Australia’s most loved personalities. The mother-of-two not only graces our screens every night for The Project, she spends her downtime raising money (over $4.5 million, that is) for brain cancer research.
Now, adding to the many reasons we love her, the former marie claire cover star has taken to Instagram to share a hilarious post about her wrinkles.
When her daughter, Evie, asked what the “stripes” were on her head and why she doesn’t herself have any at the tender age of three, the TV host replied, “They are wrinkles” because “mummy is old.”
“No Mummy, you are not old, you are young and pretty like a stripey tiger,” the toddler responded.
“My daughter certainly knows how to suck up after a sledge 😂😂😂❤️” Carrie joked at the end of her post.
Fans immediately applauded Carrie for her laidback attitude to ageing and for staying natural, even with a high-profile job.
“I love how you are unapologetically you, I’ve looked at those lines many a time, and thought about my own and all the faces filled with chemical to pull them smooth, and I’m glad you choose not to, I’m glad you make it ok,” one fan wrote.
“I prefer the phrase ‘wise lines’… we all get them. Part of life!! You’re still absolutely stunning,” another person commented.
This isn’t the first time Carrie has used social media to break perceptions that she’s perfect, either.
Taking to Instagram in May, the 37-year-old posted a photo of her messy bedroom, writing: “My side of the bed 🙈 Been a big week!!! Time to clean up for the week ahead. I promise it’s not always this messy 😜”
Keep doing you, Carrie.
