Iman doesn't worry about ageing.
The 67-year-old model - who was born in Mogadishu in Somalia - actually believes that the obsession with ageing is "a very Western mentality".
She explained: "I come from Africa, we celebrate getting older. A friend was telling me there’s been a rise in cosmetic surgery, all because [people] have been looking at themselves in Zoom meetings.
"I’m like, ‘If you are worried about that, just put the camera up [so it’s tilted down on your face], for God’s sake!'"
By contrast, Iman insists that it's not something she's ever worried about.
She told British Vogue magazine: "This really is a mentality rooted in the West. For me, it has never been a problem."
Iman actually believes that everything in her life is "predestined".
The model - who was married to music icon David Bowie until his death in 2016 - shared: "I don’t plan things. As I get older, I don’t think anything’s by chance. It’s all predestined."
Meanwhile, Iman previously admitted that she didn't think she "had a chance" of succeeding in the fashion industry during her teens.
The catwalk star also recalled lying about her age so she could fly from Kenya to the US.
She explained: "[My mother] had no idea I was leaving. To get a passport to leave the country I needed a signature from both my parents, but I faked it and said I was already 18.
"I didn’t think I had a chance [to become a model], so I thought I would go to the US and then go back in a couple of months before my parents would know I left.
"I came to the US and the first thing that was written about me was a week later in Newsweek the only magazine my father reads and they were mortified, of course, that I lied my way out of the country, was on my own and I didn’t finish my Political Science education."
The full feature with Iman is available in the January issue of British Vogue, available via digital download and on newsstands from Tuesday, December 20.
