Angela Bassett blew fans away with her fit physique and youthful good looks on Wednesday when she shared a selection of beautiful selfies on Instagram which left many of her 2.5million followers convinced she was aging backwards.
The 9-1-1 star, 62, showed off her cinched waist and fun-loving attitude in the snapshots in which she was wearing a black corset underneath an animal-print suit.
