Published: Mar 30 2026

Camila Morrone is on a roll, raving about women who boldly break societal norms and embrace motherhood in their forties. In an insightful conversation with Porter magazine, the 28-year-old American-Argentine actress and model spoke candidly about portraying Countess Ellen Olenska in an upcoming Netflix limited series adaptation, The Age of Innocence. She voiced her thoughts, stating that the entertainment world is "opening up" its doors for women, and she has started noticing these changes after taking on the role of Olenska.

Morrone revealed that she is an "inherently feminist" who questions "things – like this idea that there's a time clock on women, that you have to make it or you'll lose it all," as well as "tradition, conformity, what's expected of us." The Night Manager star went on to highlight that "we've been trained to fear getting older, especially in Hollywood."

However, she now feels that "the possibilities are just expanding. I love that the norm now can be first-time moms in their forties. I'm all about breaking up with what we think we know. And being pro-women at all costs – it really is that simple," Morrone quipped.

Notably, Camila Morrone is currently in a relationship with Cole Bennett after ending her famous five-year relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio in 2022. It is pertinent to mention that The Age of Innocence does not have a release date yet, as Netflix announced the series in April 2025, while the production began in Prague towards the end of 2025.
