the Academy Award winner posted a video from her backyard, celebrating her birthday.

Imdb and Wiki list her birthday as May 25, 1972, but she said she is really turning 50 and how trivial it now seems to lie about her age:

The entertainment industry is so ageist, I will never shame a celeb for lying about their age. Keep them checks coming in Ms. Spencer!

but i feel woman care about age more than men , my grandmother refuse to tell her age she is about 95+ and told the doctor that she is 37 ... she had cancer and on drugs at the afternoon of the surgery and was angry just for the assumption that she is old

HBD queen! People are still ageist af so I'm not gonna blame her for shaving off a couple of years 🤷‍♀️

My mother has turned 40 about 10 times now. (I’m in my 30’s, to further drive this point home) and I say if that’s how someone wants to get down then so be. Whatever makes them happy.

my dad is near sixty and he had a running joke for a couple of years where he was turning "29". i lowkey think it was because he didn't wanna keep track of his own age lmao but it was fun

"I'm 50, how are you 48?"
"Because I want to be."
