Actress Jane Seymour, 67, says she felt a pressure to "be sexy" when she was younger, but age has given her more "freedom" and she feels comfortable with herself. In an interview with Playboy, the actress posed in what marks her third pictorial for the magazine, having also shot in 1973 and 1987, reports eonline.com.

She said: "I feel much sexier now than I ever did when I was younger. There's an enormous freedom in having lived as long as I have." The actress, who has won two Golden Globes and an Emmy Award over the span of her 50-year-career, credits staying away from botox and plastic surgery to keep her feeling like herself at all times.

"I haven't done any surgeries or injections or anything. I haven't done any of it," she said. "So I still look like 'me'. Everyday I'm kind of tempted, but then I look at people I know and I don't (recognise) them. I'm authentically being me. That's important to me."
