It’s officially sharing season for actresses in their 50s. They write books and let it all fly away. Do you want to know about their experiences with menopause? Good, because it’s hot.
Hot on the heels of Brooke Shields, 59, sharing details of her unexpected lip job bonus and needing “lotions and potions” to enjoy sex these days, comes a book about menopause written by Naomi Watts, 56 years old.

The book Dare I say it: Everything I wish I knew about menopause has a hot menopause story as a story about the time she and her current husband, also 56-year-old actor Billy Crudup, had sex for the first time.
Naomi was in the bathroom scraping off the hormone patch she was wearing when she heard the most romantic words she had ever heard. These are Crudup’s balls.
She made the trip to the bathroom to remove the patch completely unnecessary when she told him, reports the NY Post, “I didn’t want you to see it because then you would know I’m in early menopause, which means I am old“.

It was then that the somewhat delicate situation took a turn for the romantic. Crudup himself admitted that he was a man of a certain age.
He replied to Watts: “If it makes you feel better. I have gray hairs on my balls.”
That sentence turned out to be exactly what she wanted to hear. Crudup had accidentally handed romance on a silver platter to the woman he would marry in 2023.
Watts admitted that the line about gray hairs contained “the most romantic words I’ve ever heard, on screen or off”.
Some guys have a way with words. Billy Crudup is apparently one of those guys. No wonder he swept Naomi Watts off her feet as she battled early menopause.
