Jane Seymour, 74, wows in red-hot swimsuit

Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Jane Seymour just keeps getting better with age and you can't convince us otherwise. The 74-year-old actress was seen enjoying the sunshine in Sardinia, Italy, looking effortlessly elegant and eternally youthful in a red one-piece swimsuit on Sunday. The former Bond girl looked stunning on the romantic getaway with her long-term partner John Zambetti, who was seen proudly taking photos of her as she dipped her toes into the Mediterranean. She's the latest of a slew of celebrities who've been spotted enjoying the sea, sand and sun of the European summer in recent weeks. Jane Seymour continues to defy age as she rocks a striking red swimsuit during a romantic getaway in Sardinia. Picture: Cobra Team / BACKGRID The British actress stuns at her beachfront resort with her longtime partner, John Zambetti, proudly taking photos. Picture: Cobra Team / BACKGRID 'Soaking up the sunshine and the solstice magic,' she gushed on Instagram over the weekend, while sharing a photo of herself in another red swimsuit. 'The longest day of the year calls for a little extra sparkle, a splash of sea, and a heart wide open to summer's beauty.' The Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman star is also in town for the Filming Italy Sardegna Festival. where she was honoured with a career achievement award last week. 'I just realised I've been doing this for 61 years,' she said onstage during her acceptance speech at the ceremony attended by the likes of Fran Drescher, Alec Baldwin, Heather Graham, Cuba Gooding Jr and Ashley Greene. 'I grew up with flat feet and a speech impediment, with my parents being told I had to have remedial classes for both,' Seymour added. 'Don't let anyone tell you you can't do it.' Seymour shared a photo of herself rocking another red swimsuit. Also spotted at the festival: Scandal-plagued actor Ezra Miller, making a red carpet return after several years spent out of the spotlight, and looking very different to how fans would remember them. Elsewhere at the festival, during masterclasses organised for the event, Seymour described the course of her career and how proud she is to have 'always broken the glass ceiling'. 'I started out, of course, playing ingenues and romantic heroines,' she said. 'Then when they realised I could cry, I played victims. And then, when they realised I could be evil, I got to play the killers. That was fun.' 'And then, you know, mamas, grandmothers. Then comedy, which is pretty much where I am now.' Seymour says there's no reason women need to slow down in their 70s. Picture:for Turner Now, Seymour is enjoying the success on the Irish mystery series Harry Wild, which was recently renewed for a fifth season on British streaming service Acorn TV. The actress is incredibly proud to be one of very few actresses her age to head a series. In Harry Wild, she plays the lead role as a retired English literature professor who becomes a super-sleuth. Seymour, seen here in 2005, has appeared in series such as The Kominsky Method and The Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as the hit comedy Wedding Crashers. Picture:'Nobody gets a series of their own at 70. Nobody,' she pointed out at one masterclass. '[Harry Wild is] very comedic, it's very intelligent – and I'm also a producer.' In a past interview with Hello!, Seymour also said there's no reason to stop living when you reach your seventies. 'The world is against ageing. We hate ageing. We look at ageing and we go, 'Oh, no, there's a wrinkle, oh my God. Get rid of it. Grey hair. No. Terrifying!'' she told the magazine. 'Whereas you can look at it the other way and you can say actually, I now have time in my life to do things I really want to do. Maybe I can now become the person I want to be.'

'Big-time parliament powerhouse': The Hon Julie Bishop reveals her biggest poitical 'flex' during chat with surprising new bestie Tyra Banks

The Honourable Julie Bishop has revealed what it's like to be a "big-time parliament powerhouse" in a new interview with close friend Tyra Banks. The 68-year-old Australian politician, who was the first female Minister for Foreign Affairs from 2013 to 2018 and the first female deputy leader of the Liberal Party from 2007 to 2018, sat down for an interview with the American supermodel on Sunday. It's understood that the pair became fast friends after Banks moved to Australia with her family, including her nine-year-old son, York, and partner, Louis Bélanger-Martin, in late 2023. The unlikely duo were recently spotted dining together at Nobu in Sydney's Crown Casino, sharing happy snaps from the outing on social media. "I have a confession," the former America's Next Top Model judge told Bishop during the interview for The Daily Telegraph. "I kept forgetting you were this big-time parliament powerhouse because you were just so warm, inviting, lovely … and FUN! "It felt like girlfriends catching up – not a government icon and a retired-but-not-really-retired-now supermodel-turned-businesswoman. Ha!" When Banks asked Bishop what the most unexpected thing was in her handbag, the former MP offered a peek into her current work as the United Nations' Special Envoy to Myanmar. "My United Nations ID and the business cards of some very interesting people!" she revealed. Reflecting on her 21-year political career, the Perth-based former politician, who was MP for Curtin from 1998 to 2019, also served as Minister for Education, Science and Training, Minister for Women's Issues and Minister for Ageing. Banks asked her to recall the most unexpected "Julie Bishop flex" she'd ever pulled in a room full of "men in suits". "Sitting around a table with all men to discuss a proposal and trying unsuccessfully to get a word in," Bishop replied. "So waiting until they all agree with each other and are about to move on, then putting my hand up to say, 'There's a fundamental flaw in this. We'll need to start from the beginning, and here's why'." When asked about a time she nearly lost composure in Parliament from laughing, Bishop recounted being caught on live TV playing "rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock" with former Cabinet Minister Christopher Pyne while waiting for Question Time. "We then received a text from staff saying, 'You're on TV – stop it!'" she said. Banks, who recently launched her SMiZE & DREAM ice cream brand with a flagship store in Sydney's Darling Harbour, ended the chat by making plans with Bishop for their next girls' getaway. "I bonded with you in such a beautiful way when we had that first dinner at Nobu at the Crown. What should we do on our next girls' hangout?" she asked. Bishop replied: "I love that we connected so easily with lots to talk about, so I can't wait for our trip to Margaret River to explore the wine region and just hang out for a few relaxing days."
