Elisabeth Shue, 59, is ‘not afraid’ of aging: I want to see myself as an ‘old lady’

Elisabeth Shue won’t be going under the knife to turn back the clock.

“I’m curious to see one day what I was intended to look like as an old lady,” the 59-year-old actress told Page Six Style exclusively at the Tribeca Festival premiere of “The Good Half.”

“I want to know what it’s going to be like, and I want to see it, and I’m not afraid,” she added.

When we mentioned Shue is one of only a handful of actresses we’ve seen on red carpets who’ve seemingly opted out of plastic surgery, she tried guessing the others.

“I know!” Shue exclaimed. “Frances McDormand (and) Annette Bening.”

Shue also walked the red carpet in her own clothes — a rare move in Hollywood — and without a stitch of makeup on.

The blond beauty, who made her film debut opposite Ralph Macchio in 1984’s “The Karate Kid,” has had a long and interesting career, including starring opposite Tom Cruise in the camp classic “Cocktail,” an Oscar nomination for “Leaving Las Vegas” and a deliciously evil role as an exec in “The Boys.”

But the “Back to the Future II” star told us her daughters had never really been interested in her career until she was cast to play Nick Jonas’ mom in “The Other Half.”

“He’s awesome,” Shue enthused of working with the “Jealous” singer.

“He’s a really generous human and yes, he is a pop star, but he grew up in New Jersey, he’s very authentic (and) he’s an excellent actor.”

Shue, who also grew up in the Garden State, said she and Jonas bonded “right away.”

“If you’re from Jersey there’s no bulls—t,” she explained. “They’re straight shooters.”

Also at the premiere were the film’s other stars, “Veep” actor Matt Walsh, Brittany Snow, David Arquette, director Robert Schwartzman and, of course, Nick Jonas.
