She told the publication:Â ‘My thirties are actually amazing, when people would tell me, “Nay, when you turn 30 you will stop giving a s**t, “I was like, “Sure…” But turning 30 and doing Whitney, I actually don’t give a s**t.Â
‘IÂ spent so many years thinking: if only my thighs were thinner, if only my arms wouldn’t wobble as much, if only my cheekbones, or my teeth.Â
‘Now I’m thinking there’s so much more to me than what I look like or whether I fit in. My thirties are giving me a little bit more confidence and stability in myself.’Â
Naomi said she also reached a point where she felt she wanted to do something ‘scary’ in her career, which led to her putting herself out of her ‘comfort’ zone and taking on leading roles.
