Meg Ryan has insisted that she is not worried about landing good movie roles now that she is over 40.

Speaking to Movies.ie, the actress confessed that she is "very happy" at her current age.

"Turning 40 in Hollywood was definitely something for me but it doesn't feel like an ending," she said. "My interests have expanded and I have never felt more creative than I do right now."

Ryan, whose new film The Women is released this Friday, noted that there is a growing market for films about older women.

"There is now this demographic of women over 31 and older who want movies that are kind of about them," she said.

"So, there are a lot of big surprises left. The baby boom generation is getting older and they're going to want to be satisfied by something other than what I think the movie makers expect."
