00:00 "How amazing is it that Believe is 25 years old?"
00:04 "It's not that amazing, okay?"
00:05 If Cher could, she would turn back time.
00:09 Amid a new wave of celebrities embracing their age,
00:12 the legendary singer has no problem admitting
00:15 it's not for her.
00:16 During a November 28th interview with Today's Harry Smith,
00:20 Cher gives this reaction to the 25th anniversary
00:23 of her 1998 hit song, "Believe."
00:26 "How amazing is it that Believe is 25 years old?"
00:30 "It's not that amazing, okay?"
00:32 [laughing]
00:34 "It pisses me...
00:36 It pisses the f*** out of me, and you can't put that out."
00:39 "Yes, we can."
00:40 "Okay, good."
00:41 [laughing]
00:42 "No, it just is like, what is this?"
00:44 And when Harry suggests that the 77-year-old
00:47 and getting older don't mix,
00:49 the Grammy winner says this.
00:51 "So you and age, you're not friends?"
00:53 "No, my mother didn't mind, but I do.
00:58 I hate it."
00:59 "I had a tough time with 70.
01:01 I'll admit it.
01:02 Like, I mean, like, really knocked me in a hole
01:04 for a while."
01:05 "I'd give anything to be 70 again."
01:07 [laughing]
01:08 This isn't the first time the icon
01:10 has shared her thoughts on aging.
01:12 In 2020, Cher told The Guardian,
01:14 "I hate it.
01:15 What, I'm going to say I like it?
01:17 No, I don't.
01:18 Any woman who is honest will say it's not as much fun.
01:21 When I was working on the road,
01:23 we used to work two shows a night
01:25 and then go out dancing all night long.
01:27 Now it's like, we've got to rest
01:29 because you've got another night."
01:31 Then in 2022, she told People,
01:33 "I don't know if not feeling old makes you younger.
01:36 I keep up with the trends.
01:37 I have lots of young friends.
01:39 I have old friends too.
01:40 Honestly, I'm not trying to feel young.
01:42 I'm not trying to be young.
01:44 I am who I am.
01:45 I'm just getting along."
01:47 Fast forward to her 77th birthday this year in May
01:51 when Cher posed a question on ex-formerly Twitter, writing,
01:55 "Okay, will someone please tell me when will I feel old?"
01:59 The Grammy winner continued,
02:00 "This is ridiculous.
02:02 I keep hearing these numbers,
02:04 but I honestly can't understand them.
02:06 What's the deal with numbers?
02:07 I'm dyslexic and numbers are hard for me.
02:10 Thank you for staying.
02:11 I know it's been hard.
02:12 Gotta go work out.
02:13 Twitter is harder for me than TweetBot."
