Bo Derek has famously shunned plastic surgery, maintaining her stunning figure and youthful appearance through natural means. Sources exclusively tell Closer that the iconic “10” actress credits her perfect body to a healthy diet and an active lifestyle on her ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley.

“It’s incredible how she’s stayed so youthful looking at 67,” an insider reveals. “She’s still quite the beauty and dropping jaws everywhere she goes. She’s among a rare breed who refuses to succumb to cosmetic nip/tucks, and she gets very prickly at even the suggestion she’s had anything ‘done.’”

So, how does Bo maintain her timeless beauty? According to the insider, “she just takes good care of herself, eats a mostly vegetarian diet, limits carbs, and seems happy in her marriage to John [Corbett], which accounts for a lot.” Surprisingly, the “10” actress doesn’t even follow a grueling workout routine.

“She’s a homebody who takes care of her ranch and cleans the house herself, tends to her horses and pets. That’s her exercise,” the insider shares. “She also stays toned by riding her horses and swimming. Bo’s the envy of every actress in Hollywood.”

Bo has been candid about the challenges of aging. “I realize that it doesn’t last forever, that’s for damn sure,” she told CBS News Sunday Morning. “Aging is really hard, and it’s tough. Bette Davis was right; it’s not for sissies, it really isn’t.”

She has faced both praise and criticism for her natural approach in a world where plastic surgery is commonplace. “There is a certain expectation. I get credit on one hand for not having had a facelift, and then on the other hand it’s, ‘Oh my God, why doesn’t she do something?’” she recalled. “So, you’re just torn. I just have to keep busy, have other interests, and try not to think about it.”

Beyond her own beauty, Bo has leveraged her looks to support animal welfare. In 2017, she launched her pet hygiene brand Bless the Beasts. “I had been approached for 20 years for different kinds of beauty products and I kept turning things down because I wasn’t really comfortable giving beauty advice,” Bo shared with Animal Wellness. “At one point I was working with chemists and I said ‘What I really need is something for all my animals. They smell so bad they’re driving me out of my own home’. So I started working with chemists just for my own use. Everything out there is basically industrial strength and harsh ingredients so these products are unique. It’s a new world for me, but it’s where my heart is.”

Lastly, Bo’s marriage to John Corbett, 63, contributes to her youthful glow. The couple, who began dating in 2002 after being set up for the 74th Academy Awards, finally tied the knot after 18 years together. “After 20 years we decided to get married, we didn’t want 2020 to be that thing that everybody looks back at and hated,” the “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” actor said on The Talk. “We thought, ‘Well, let’s get one nice thing out of it.'”

Bo Derek’s commitment to natural beauty, active living, and animal welfare continues to inspire, proving that age is just a number when you embrace life’s simple pleasures.
