Ashley Judd has left some fans concerned after she left her suitcase on a flight and used her fingers to eat a vending machine salad at the airport.
But the 57-year-old postmenopausal actress is no longer fazed by what others think of her actions.
Judd, who recently left her suitcase on her first flight to Minneapolis, Minnesota, says it may have been because she was “absent minded” or just “so relaxed”.

She also explained why she ditched cutlery for her pre-made lunch.
“I’m really hot because I have a post-menopausal body and this is super cute but it’s really hot,” said Judd, as reported by Need To Know.
“I don’t care that I don’t have a coat and I don’t care that I ate my salad in a jar from a vending machine with my hands.”
She added: “My nonna said it was okay when I was 17 to eat salad with my hands, who needs to use plastic anyway?”
Social media users have been left wondering if something is “off” – while others are supportive of Judd’s new attitude to the small stuff.
One fan said: “I love the new I don’t care Ashley.”
Someone else said: “I too would love to be a member of the I don’t care club.”
A third person said: “I’m sorry but she seems a bit off! I love her concept… but one needs to care a little.”
Another fan said: “She’s beautiful, she’s real! Trolls clearly missing the point.”
Someone else added:” Are you on drugs?”
Ashley is a keen supporter of the ‘We Don’t Care Club’ – a movement for women going through perimenopause and menopause, created by influencer Melani Saunders.
Members share acceptance of things like cellulite, wrinkles and not always looking put together.
She has been sharing tidbits of herself acting silly and recapturing the joys of childhood including splashing about in the ocean and running across a lawn without a care in the world.
The news comes after the TV star announced her return to acting after a break for “personal healing” following the death of her mother in 2022.
The Double Jeopardy actor is known for starring in iconic thrillers such as Kiss the Girls in 1997 and High Crimes in 2002.
She was nominated for an Emmy award for her performance in 2012 TV series Missing.
Ashley has also been a prominent voice in the #MeToo movement.
