"I haven't had many fears in my life, and if I do, I try to avoid them," Pataky said according to Marca. "At the very least, I try not to even glance at them and pay them little attention. That's what gives you maturity."

What is Elsa Pataky's biggest fear?

The mother-of-three told the outlet that her biggest concern in life is her growing age and losing relevance in the process.

"Physically aging. I am a very active person, and if my body doesn't allow me to progress, I would start to get frustrated. That scares me," she added.

"An idea continues to prevail: if one isn't beautiful or doesn't conform to the imposed standards of beauty, then they are considered imperfect. And that's not the case," she said.

The actress also spoke about embracing the importance of naturalness and being alarmed about alterations.

"There are times when it's not easy to feel good about oneself, and it's inevitable to compare oneself," she noted.

"If you get caught up in that, you'll live in constant frustration. Filters and retouching are becoming more and more common on social media, and they are wreaking havoc, especially on the self-esteem of young people. All these artificial beauties and the standards being set are not real," she added.

At the end of her interview, Hemsworth's wife also emphasized on the importance of beauty despite aging and the importance of self-acceptance.

"Someone who avoids their age is someone who is avoiding themselves," Pataky declared.

"But we, as a society, have also supported the idea that only young faces are beautiful and we overlook the older ones. Perhaps it's time to reclaim the beauty of every wrinkle, as each one of them is an experience," she added.
