Nollywood veteran actress, Kate Henshaw, has responded powerfully to those who attempt to mock her over her age, stating that growing older is a privilege that many do not get to experience.
The award-winning actress took to her social media to address age-shamers who constantly refer to her as “old” in a derogatory manner. She made it clear that such remarks do not offend her, as she is proud of her age and everything she has accomplished over the years.
"You cannot age shame me because there are people who pray to get to my age,” Henshaw said, boldly embracing her journey. “Getting older is a blessing. Many have died young, and yet people still find it funny to insult someone for growing older."
The 52-year-old actress, known for her exceptional fitness and youthful energy, pointed out that society often treats aging—especially for women as a negative thing. She criticized the double standards that allow men to be celebrated as they age, while women are ridiculed for the same.
Henshaw also used the moment to remind her followers that her age comes with wisdom, experience, and the strength to withstand the harsh realities of life and the entertainment industry. “If you’ve not lived my life or walked in my shoes, you have no right to talk down on my age,” she added.
Her response drew massive support from fans and fellow celebrities who praised her confidence and grace. Many described her as a role model who continues to redefine what aging looks like in Nigerian showbiz.
Kate Henshaw remains one of the most respected figures in Nollywood, and her bold clapback reinforces her stance as a woman who refuses to be diminished by societal expectations.
