After all, Clarke decided to embrace aging signs and said, “At 34, I am wiser, more intelligent, I’ve had more experiences, I’ve done all this stuff, and I’m proud of that.” She then noted that “You can only do that because you are the age you are."
She claimed that she never cares how she ages, “If my face is gonna reflect the time that I’ve spent on this earth, I’m down for that.”
