EmRata On 31 & “The Pressure Of Being Young Forever”

Emily Ratajkowski: Well, I got married when I was 27. That was just four years ago, but it feels like a really long time. I think I felt like I was getting older. I think I felt older at 27 than I do at 31. Something was freaking me out. I had this realization that I was getting closer to 30 and wasn’t going to be young forever. But something about 31, I’m like, I’m so young. I turned to my friend the other day and was like, ‘Did we ever think 30 was old?‘ She was like, ‘Bitch, we thought 30 was so old.’ But you have so much time. Yes, life goes fast, but ultimately 27 is so young and it gets better. It got so much better for me. I think you’ll know yourself more. Of course, as young women, [we] feel the pressure of being young forever. But in your 30s, you look the same, but you’ve figured out who the hell you are.
