Brooke Shields, ex-wife of Andre Agassi, became famous after she appeared in Blue Lagoon as a 15-year-old actress. Her role in the movie launched her to fame, but it also came with several cons. One of the issues showed its face recently as Shields interacted with a fan of hers, who found it difficult to accept that she has aged.

Shields had been a public figure before she entered her teenage years. Her fame reached new heights after she acted in Pretty Baby and then Blue Lagoon. Most of her fans remember her as the star of that movie and find it difficult to accept that she has grown up a lot since then.

In a segment with She Media, Agassi’s former wife said, “People get mad that I’m older. They really do”. She talked about a time she was at the home of a person as the two were discussing wine. “When we were talking about wine, he was talking about the ages of wine, and I was thinking wine getting older, and I said to him, ‘Oh, I’m 58 years old,’ and I was about to say I was born in 1965 and what bottle is it and does it get jammy. He looks at me and said, ‘You really shouldn’t have told me that’.”

Andre Agassi’s ex-wife reveals the reason her acquaintance felt uncomfortable

As Brooke Shields revealed her age, the individual in question did not like knowing her age, and she couldn’t help but inquire why they felt that way. “I said, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘Does that make you older?’. and he was like ‘Yeah’. He wanted me to be the 15-year-old in ‘Blue Lagoon’ that he had on his wall or whatever. I thought that’s such a fascinating thing for us to really approach with regards to beauty and what that means.” 

The reason behind not wanting to know her real age could be realizing the dreaded fact that they have also aged with her, as per the ex-wife of Andre Agassi. Wanting to be young is a familiar feeling for many, but the passing of time is something no one can stop.
