Drew Barrymore is happier than ever while showing off the "real magic" of getting older.
The 50-year-old Ever After actress shared a gorgeous makeup-free selfie on her Instagram on Tuesday (June 24), grinning at the camera with her long hair worn in loose waves with a backdrop of framed floral artwork as she put her natural beauty and fresh complexion on display, per People.
"50 = The B-Side of life — where the real magic starts to spin!" she captioned the post.
Fans flooded the comments with supportive messages, praising Barrymore for sharing an unfiltered snapshot of what 50 looks like.
"B Side, best side," one user wrote, as another added a hopeful note for the future. "Happy 50. Just a heads up, the 60's are even better!!!" A third noted, "It's amazing. Truly. Welcome to the decade. You truly let go of everything that doesn't matter."
In an interview with AARP The Magazine prior to her birthday earlier this year, Barrymore explained that she was "so excited" about turning 50 and that the day couldn't come soon enough, emphasizing that she has "no issues with aging." The Charlie's Angels star celebrated her milestone 50th birthday in February and even received a sweet surprise from her daughters Olive, 12, and Frankie, 11, that left her in tears during an episode of her talk show.
