Viola Davis Feels Confident at 51

There’s no denying that Viola Davis radiates beauty. But the Emmy-award winning actress recently admitted she’s just finally embracing life at age 51.

She told Hoda Kotb on the Today show, “I feel more comfortable in my skin at 51, and I didn’t expect that to happen. I was bracing for impact at 50. At 51, I was bracing for the fall.”

Davis has been blazing quite a successful career trail. And it seems that, with all the hard work, she’s found strength within herself. She added, “I think what’s happened is probably just so many years of not feeling comfortable that maybe I just got tired. Maybe all the experience I’ve had marinated to this beautiful pot of just me, and I feel confident. I feel energized.”

This month, Davis appears alongside Denzel Washington in the film, Fences. Her brilliant performance has earned her Golden Globe and SAG award nominations, and even some Oscar buzz.
