Natascha McElhone: 'I'm glad I look old'

Natasha McElhone has revealed that she has always looked "old".

The 38-year-old actress, who is known for roles in Californication and The Truman Show, said that she has never felt pressured to maintain her appearance because of her mature face.

McElhone told The Daily Telegraph: "I've always looked old for my age. I've never been a girly girl. It must be hard if you are the sort of the impy, cute, cheeky girlfriend type, but that has never been me. I've always played women."

Talking about fellow UK actors living in LA, McElhone said: "There is quite a swell of British actors. I don't know why. Maybe it's because there's less work here. But it's great. You bump into each other.

"I am one of those people who goes to a place and sees the stuff that is bright and sparkly. Hollywood has been fantastic to me. I wouldn't be working as an actress if it wasn't for Hollywood."
