HOLLYWOOD star Zoe Saldana has opened up about why she feels more secure with her body as she grows older.

The 36-year-old action movie heroine, who stars in the latest Marvel adventure Guardians Of The Galaxy, is this month’s cover girl for Women’s Health Magazine’s ‘Naked’ issue.

In support of the mag’s Body For Life campaign, the actress is seen looking every inch body confident as she poses in the nude in a series of sultry shots.

Zoe, who is said to be expecting her first child, opened up about being content with her figure changing as she grows older.

“My body is less toned. I do look in the mirror and see things I don’t want,” she said.

“My first reaction is I breathe and I think, ‘I’m a woman, I’m 36, my body is changing.’”

She added: “I’m exactly where I want to be. I do feel beautiful in a way that even when I was working out a whole lot, I sometimes didn’t.

“Because there have been times that I was really slender and I didn’t like that I sometimes looked a little too muscular and flat chested – you’ll never be completely happy, so at the end of the day it’s like “F**k it. Just be happy, regardless.”

During the candid interview, the Avatar beauty gushed about fate bringing together her and her Italian artist husband Marco Perego, whom she married in a secret ceremony in London last June.

“We give each other a great deal of support and love but it wasn’t because we found it in each other, we came that way and then got together,” she said.

She continued: “That’s what I love about it.”

“I do believe whatever’s meant to be will be – but had the universe said, ‘Let’s just wait, he’s going to come into your life later,’ I would’ve been fine on this journey I was on just knowing who the f**k I was.”
