F YOU THINK ABOUT IT, PURELY BASED ON HER 40-PLUS-YEAR CAREER, Brooke Shields is the perfect podcast host because she has a story for everything. “This is a new world for me, and I’m really enjoying it. It’s such an honor to be this age Shields, after “so many decades” on the other side of the interview, “having no problem answering questions,” is now the one asking them. “I’ve never had a problem being an open book. It’s just how I’ve lived my life.” Part of what inspired the podcast was her lifestyle brand Beginning is Now, which focuses on empowering women of every age and size. “We need to find a way to at least change the narrative around all of this.” Despite her incredible work in these new areas, she hasn’t totally turned her back on Hollywood. With many projects in the works, she’ll next be seen in the HBO Max holiday film (November 24). “I like doing those kinds [of movies]. I love comedy. I’m happy when I’m doing comedy. It’s in my blood.”
