I’m a 54-year-old model and trolls who say I’m too old can shut up and get out of my way

A 54-year-old model has shut down her critics who troll her for her age with a daring video.

Canadian influencer and wellness coach Miss Twiggy told haters who say 54 is ‘too old’ to ‘shut their mouths and move out of her way’.

Posting a clip to her TikTok account, the model, based in Mexico, posed in a leopard print bikini next to a swimming pool while the words ‘Isn’t 54 too old to…’ were shown over the top.

The words disappeared to make way for a new phrase, which read: ‘STFU (shut the f*** up) and get outta my way.’

She added ‘please’ in the caption of her post, which was viewed 284.8k times and liked by 11.2k TikTok users.

The video – which was first shared last year – has gone viral, with many people praising the 54-year-old for her stunning looks.

‘Absolutely gorgeous,’ wrote one person, while another added: ‘Class with a glass, wow. Stunning.’

‘Wow what a beauty,’ said a third. A fourth individual wrote: ‘You’re great, don’t listen to trolls.’ 

It comes after an age-defying grandmother who still models swimsuits in her 60s and often gets mistaken for being 20 years younger revealed her top five tips for looking and feeling young.

Leslie Carleton, who spends her time living between her homes in Bali, Indonesia, and Los Angeles, has modeled in magazines, catalogs, television commercials and billboard ads around the world.

And even now, at aged 62, the grandmother-of-two continues to turn heads with her luscious golden locks, deep brown eyes and slim hourglass figure. 

The model and author is proving age is just a number by being the oldest woman to compete in the 2021 Sports Illustrated swimsuit competition – something she never dreamed possible for grandmothers in their 60s.

She shared her top tips for looking and feeling happy, healthy and youthful at any age after revealing she regularly gets mistaken for being 20 years younger.

She said: ‘I never imagined I’d look the way that I do in my 60s. The majority of people guess that I’m in my 40s, and are shocked when I tell them I’m 62.

‘In my teens and 20s, I never worked out or participated in sports. I watched what I ate and luckily I stayed slim.

‘I followed my grandmother’s advice. She was a dancer, and she would eat small, healthy meals frequently throughout the day, every 2-3 hours.

‘I also followed the rule of thumb that carbs and protein should be the size of your palm, while vegetables should be twice that size.

‘Then in my 30s, I began doing sports and I fell in love. I started skiing and I became a black belt in karate.

‘And its only in the last 10 years that I began lifting weights. That has helped me maintain a strong and toned figure into my 60s.’
