AceShowbiz - Tiffani Thiessen is not afraid of ageing. The 49-year-old actress - who is famed for playing Kelly Kapowski in "Saved by the Bell" - has claimed that there are no secrets behind her youthful-looking appearance, insisting that she's "more at ease" now than she was a decade ago.

"I don't know if it's me just not giving a s***!" Tiffani joked during an appearance on the "Good Instincts" podcast.

Despite this, Tiffani acknowledges that her next birthday will be a "big" milestone. She said, "It's a different feeling this time around hitting a bigger, you know, a bigger birthday this time."

The actress is aware that the public expect her to "look a certain way." However, Tiffani insists that beauty expectations also need to remain "realistic." She said, "I think people will say things, you know … and maybe expect me to look a certain way, yes, but I mean, it's just not realistic. I can only age the way I'm going to age, right?"

Meanwhile, Tiffani previously admitted to having a family-like relationship with her "Saved by the Bell" co-stars. The actress also conceded that the hit TV show "had a huge impact" on her life.

Tiffani - who starred on the sitcom between 1989 and 1993 - explained to HollywoodLife, "We're still close! It's kind of like an odd, sort of, not related, but brotherly-sisterly kind of thing. We spent a lot of time together in very informative years that had a huge impact in my life."

Despite this, the show's stars were forced to remain apart amid the coronavirus pandemic. She said during the health crisis, "I'm still close with Mark-Paul [Gosselaar]. I talk to Elizabeth [Berkley] and Mario [Lopez]. Of course, I haven't seen anybody in a while."
