Heidi Klum Shuts Down ‘Cut-Off Date’ As She Embraces Turning 52: ‘You Are Always Worth It’

Access Hollywood’s Zuri Hall spoke exclusively with Heidi Klum on-set about her family and the 2024 documentary short “The Final Copy of Ilon Specht.” The film, by Oscar winner Ben Proudfoot, shines a light on Ilon Specht, the creative marketing genius behind L’Oréal’s iconic slogan “Because I’m worth it,” that has been in use for more than 50 years. Heidi reflects on Specht’s legacy and emphasizes the importance of telling yourself you’re worth it. “There’s only one you. You are special,” she said. The supermodel also raves over being among women such as Viola Davis and Helen Mirren championing the slogan and why, at almost 52, she’s proud to represent women in her age group. “There is no cut-off date, you are always worth it,” she added. Heidi also shares how she has encouraged her children to have self-worth as they pursue modeling careers, and how she and husband of nearly six years Tom Kaulitz prioritize finding beauty in the simple joys of everyday life.
