Brigitte Nielsen, 59, has spoken about feeling “energised” despite her age. She then went on to advise young women to avoid having children between the ages of 20 and 25, as she sees this time period is an ideal time to live, travel and work.
In a recent interview, she discussed the experience of having had kids at 54.
Contrary to popular belief, she explains rather than feeling “exhausted”, she feels energised with a renewed lust for life.
Brigitte said: “I know. I have the age that most grandmothers have but I feel completely energised, I have never been happier.

The star also spoke to Metro about her past love life.
She was asked which of her former partners were better at acting, with the choice being between Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
