Julia Fox 'spent her 27th birthday crying in bed because she was getting too old'

Julia Fox says she spent her 27th birthday sobbing she was too old.

The Uncut Gems actress, now 32, recalled her birthday back in 2017, admitting she spent all of it crying in bed after 'taking it really hard'.

She posted TikTok at the weekend and revealed she became extremely upset after realising she could no longer say she was in her mid-20s.

"This is how deep this s**t is for women...In the entertainment industry, 30 is f***ing considered old," Julia explained in the video.

She posted four videos on her TikTok account, which boasts more than 1.2million followers, on Saturday – and they've been viewed nearly 4million times.

Discussing the ordeal, Julia explained: "My BFF Harmony, God rest her soul, came and flew in to see me because she knew I'd be taking it really hard.

"My friends tried to come in my room with candles and cupcakes and s**t and I literally was like, 'Get the f**k out! I told you we're not celebrating! There's nothing to celebrate!'."

She said she was "such a tyrant" during her big day and she just wanted "the day to pass".

"I was like, 'Don't post. I don't want to draw attention to the fact that I'm 27. I just want it to pass by like any other day'," she added.

"And that's sad because Harmony, the girl I was with, she died. She's not even gonna have the privilege of getting older, you know. So we deny ourselves these milestones for what?"

Julia explained that "aging is fully in" as well as "wearing anything you want", that includes "bellies hanging over the low rise jeans".

She added: "And if I see another product that says 'anti-aging' on the label, I'm suing.

"I'm going to sue because I'm going to age regardless of if I put that f***ing $500 serum on my face, and you all f***ing know it!

"And we know it so let's stop lying to ourselves. Getting old is f***ing hot, okay?

"It is sexy. It is probably the sexiest time in life, actually, because being pretty and hot in your 20s is the f***ing trenches, okay? And I'm not going back there."
