The icon and living legend, spoke to AARP THE MAGAZINE for the December 2020/January 2021 issue to pass on some wisdom she's gathered over the course of her life.
Sophia said: 'Sometimes when I say I'm 86, I don't believe it. I feel 20.'
The movie legend, who was born September 20, 1934 in the Clinica Regina Margherita in Rome, Italy, revealed six life lessons she lives by to the magazine.

Firstly, Sophia said she always cheers herself on, adding that she feels secure in who she is.
Next up, the Two Women star said make sure to talk and stay in touch with family.
The third lesson she has acquired is that she tries to savor every moment, even the little ones like enjoying chocolate.
Another lesson is to avoid negative thinking: 'If you are healthy and doing something you enjoy, then you cannot think,"God, tomorrow I'm going to die!"'
Sophia enjoys watching movies, working and going to church.

Number five you have to age naturally, as she said: 'Why change your body and be somebody else if you are happy inside? I never thought of that - never. I like what I have. I like me!'
And lastly, you must accept things as they are: 'I was very sad when my husband died, because you can never get over this kind of feeling.'
She added: 'Never. Each time you think about it, there's a moment of the loneliness, which is very strong, but that's life.'
