In a recent interview with The Sunday Times. MacDowell says that even though her love life has improved, she still wants men to “like” her for who she is now.

“It’s better. I might have looked younger and more acceptable to someone before, but I want to be appreciated for where I am, for my age,” she told the publication.

“And the response from the men was, ‘You look beautiful.’ I think my eyes look greener and it’s made them pop in a way they didn’t before.
