Caroline Mays chimed in to comment on the new look: “I dye my hair every two weeks? That’s over television

Maes’ character Mieke disappeared from the soap for a few weeks after relationship problems, but can be seen again in the VTM soap. Despite the new look. The actress went from dark brown to a natural grey. An edit for many loyal viewers. It’s raining reactions on social media: not everyone is a fan, to say the least. “Dark is much more elegant, and this is ugly and makes her look old”: another of the more respectful comments. “What people say: je m’en fous,” says the actress. “I know I’m going to be on TV so I’ll have the perfect role, but I don’t have to be the picture perfect and I want to be able to go gray in a healthy way. Just leave it alone and be yourself.”

It also appears that the tailored, tight-fitting suits owned by Mickey are a thing of the past. At Caroline’s request, the character now wears wider jackets more often. “Let them write that they think I’m fatter: I have no problem with that. I only save positive messages now, people who say: This makes you softer. It makes you a little rounder. I’m a little rounder too. I quit smoking and I gained weight, that’s it. Everyone He has his sins, that’s okay. I’m only human. But I just want to be myself. And if people don’t like that: sorry. I also really liked myself with the short, sassy, ​​dark haircut. With my black nails and my fitted suit. But I don’t fit in anymore “Guys. It’s not possible anymore.”

She was preceded by Caroline’s former colleague in the “family” Martine Junqueri (67 years old). She also swapped out her blonde locks for a gray haircut years ago. “I was shocked to hear that people still react this way to a gray-haired woman on TV,” Junkeri said angrily. “That’s why there are so few actresses who dare to admit they have gray hair. Even Janine Bishops (81 years old) once said to me: ‘No, I don’t.’ Women in the entertainment industry always have to make sure they look younger.” Than they are now. And wrinkles are not tolerated. That was the comment I got when I returned to the movie “Familie.” Curt Rogers was gray for years, and no one talks about it. For a man, gray represents wisdom and intelligence. For a woman “It loses its freshness instantly, what nonsense.”

“TV producers also immediately categorize gray-haired women as old. It is the patriarchal society that determines how a woman should look on screen. Now I am going to play a small role in a new series, and the character is older than me too. 72. Well, “It’s not so bad. It even shocks me. I get a lot of offers these days to play a grandmother in her eighties. But then I think: Damn it, I’m not going to give it up,” Martine concludes.
