Céline Dion still can’t believe she’s a beauty ambassador.

In a new interview with Allure, the 51-year-old pop icon confessed that she never would have believed she’d be chosen to be one of the faces of L’Oréal Paris.

“When I was young and having problems with my teeth, very, very skinny, not feeling pretty, and being bullied at school, I would never have thought that L’Oréal Paris would one day ask me, at 51 years old, to become an ambassador,” she said. “It’s a miracle.”

The “I’m Alive” singer continued, “I’ve never felt as beautiful, or so in charge. When you do feel in charge, it gives you an extra voice. Even though I still use my voice for singing, I now have a little [extra] voice for raising my children, for making decisions. I even have a new album coming out.”

Although being young has its perks, the Grammy winner concluded, “I would not go back to being 17 or in my 20s or 30s. All that [youth] was wonderful, but I’m never going back in time. I’m going forward. And I can’t wait for my next birthday.”
