Height, weight, age. How old is Cher (singer)
Cher's appearance, as well as her talents, have always been outstanding and impressive. Therefore, the performer quickly gained popularity. Although, it is worth mentioning that in her youth she was a rather shy girl, even when she began her musical career. Having become famous, Cher began to enjoy the love of fans who wanted to know everything about their new idol. Including height, weight, age. How old is Cher is a simple question. But the answer may surprise you. She is already 72 years old. And with a height of 174 centimeters, she weighs only 58 kilograms!
Not every young girl can boast of such parameters. And if you want to find photos of Cher in her youth and now, you will see that she was really attractive.
Why did the daughter of singer Cher decide to change her gender and how her life turned out later (Photo)
In 1969, singer Cher gave birth to her husband's beautiful baby Chastity. The girl had an angelic appearance and had perfect blond curls.
The audience looked at the baby with great admiration. Chastity's parents took her with them to film TV shows more than once. The audience admired the angelic child and predicted great glory for him.
Yes, Chastity later became a very famous person. Only she decided to start her stellar career in a male body. How did this happen?
The boy lives inside of me
Even as a teenager, Chastity realized that she was very different from her peers. The girl was not comfortable wearing dresses and using makeup. All this time she was drawn to men's style.
At one point, the girl decided to bring her body into a “proper” form and decided to have sex reassignment surgery. The first procedures were performed in 2008. And by 2010, Chastity officially turned into a man. That's when she changed her name to Chaz.
Did the mother accept her child?
Cher took her child's decision very hard. All these years she raised her daughter, and now she has a son! It was very difficult to get used to Chaz's new appearance and rough voice.
But what a loving mother is not ready to do for a child... Cher accepted Chaz for who he is. At first, the singer called him by his old name. And only then did she manage to get rid of this habit and completely come to terms with her son’s reincarnation.
Was rejected by the public
In 2011, Chaz made a documentary about his transformation. The man also took part in the show “Dancing with the Stars,” which brought him black fame.
There were a lot of ill-wishers who did not approve of Chaz’s action. The public considered it a great sin to undergo gender reassignment surgery and began to throw a lot of dirt at the man.
Hormones take their toll
Chaz has to constantly take hormonal medications. Because of this, he has serious problems with excess weight. In 2010, the man weighed as much as 115 kilograms. After that, he thoroughly took charge of himself and lost 38 kg.
Now Chaz will have to constantly monitor his body and adhere to the right diet.
Big love
In 2020, Chaz managed to find his soulmate. She became the popular actress Shara Blue. Now young people are very passionate about each other and practically never separate. But it hasn't come to the wedding yet.

Biography and personal life of Cher (singer)
Cher was born on May 20, 1946 in California. Few people know that the performer’s real name is Sherilyn Sargsyan.
Her mother, Georgia Holt, was an American actress. And his father, John Sargsyan, is a truck driver and Armenian by nationality. When Sherilyn was born, her parents were already divorced. She met her father only when she was already 11. Since childhood, the girl wanted to become an actress, like her mother. That’s why at 16 she left to conquer Los Angeles.
In 1962, Cher’s biography and personal life as an actress began to develop more actively. In a cafe she met Sonny Bon, an assistant to a music producer. It was this man who subsequently not only helped her become a singer, but also became her first husband. They divorced in ’74, and a year later the established artist married musician Greg Allman, with whom she lived for only four years. In different marriages, Cher had a daughter, Chastity, and a son, Elijah.
Her acting career began in 1967 with the film “Good Times,” where she played herself. In '82, Cher performed on Broadway. And her most famous films can be called “The Witches of Eastwick” and “Moonstruck”, filmed in 1987. By the way, for the last film the artist received an Oscar and a Golden Globe.
Cher doesn't perform as often these days. It is known that in June 2018, a musical about the life of the singer and actress was staged in Chicago. In one of the interviews, Sherilyn herself admitted that she fully approves of the plot of the future production. Starting in December, the production will also be presented on Broadway.
Biography of Cher
American Armenian
Cher was “born” in 1979 (it was then that our heroine changed her name in the documents), although in fact her name was Sherilyn Sarkisyan (later the surnames of her husbands, Bono and Allman, were added to the singer’s maiden name). Cher's biography begins in the Californian city of El Centro, when American actress Georgia Holt became the mother of a charming girl. It happened on May 20, 1946. By that time, Georgia had managed to divorce her husband, the Armenian Karapet (he took the English name John) Sarkisyan and raised Sherilyn alone. Cher's father was a truck driver, and the meeting with his daughter took place only when the girl turned 11.
Five years later, barely waiting to graduate from school, Sherilyn left for Los Angeles: she dreamed of a stellar career almost from infancy. She didn’t immediately, but managed to get a job as a backing vocalist in Phil Spector’s studio. Salvatore Bono worked as his assistant - young Cher met him by chance in a cafe; Sonny (who was much older) brought her to the studio and provided her with shelter. The girl practically became Bono’s housekeeper, helping with the housework, and he did not charge her for rent. A romance broke out between them, and they became husband and wife.
"Sonny and Cher"
Spector allowed Cher to record her first single in 1964 - it was the song “Ringo, I Love You”, although Phil did not like the singer’s name and replaced it with the pseudonym “Bonnie Jo Mason”.
A year later, the married duet “Sonny and Cher” was formed, in which Salvatore was a composer and producer. The duo's debut album was called "Look at Us", the single from which "I Got You Babe" became the leader of the charts in America and Great Britain. The fame of the tandem was short but bright - the exotic beauty of Cher set off the stern hippie Sonny, but this was not enough for success. Soon, Cher’s first solo album, “All I Really Want to Do,” appeared in Cher’s biography.
The next major stage in the singer’s career was the joint show “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour” with her husband, in which humorous performances were interspersed with musical breaks. The program aired on CBS for seven years - even when the husband and wife divorced, they continued to collaborate.
In 1977, after her second marriage, Cher and her husband Gregg Allman began performing together and released a record. In the early 1980s they moved to New York - the singer was invited to Broadway.
In a new capacity: movie star
The performance with her participation was a success, Cher became known as a good actress. This allowed Mike Nichols, who was going to shoot the biopic Silkwood, to invite Cher to play the role of Dolly, the friend of the main character (Meryl Streep). Dolly is a lesbian and is not at all friendly towards the activist fighting for workers' rights, but Karen has a boyfriend (Kurt Russell).
Cher's film debut was highly appreciated: she was awarded a Golden Globe and nominated for an Oscar. This was already the second Globe, the first was awarded to the actress for the show “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour” in 1974.
In 1985, the drama “The Mask” (not to be confused with the comedy with Kerry) was added to Cher’s acting biography. But 1987 turned out to be especially fruitful. Three wonderful films by Cher were released this year. This is the thriller "The Suspect" with Dennis Quaid, the delightful fantasy "The Witches of Eastwick" with Nicholson, Pfeiffer and Sarandon and the melodrama "Moonstruck".
In this film, Cher portrayed a forty-year-old lady, Italian Loretta, who fell in love with a young guy (Nicolas Cage). The actress received an Oscar for her role as Loretta; the film has three Academy Awards in total.
The star’s new albums (late 1980s) were released under a new label, Geffen Records. The scandal that erupted on television in connection with the music video for the song “If I Could Turn Back Time” also dates back to this period: the image of Cher and her the costume was considered too erotic, and the video was banned.
Despite chronic fatigue
In 1990, Cher's new film was released - a comedy melodrama starring Bob Hoskins, young Christina Ritchie and Winona Ryder "Mermaids". And soon the singer was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. However, she continued to appear on stage, in 1996 she directed the television film “If Walls Could Talk” (a drama about the issue of abortion) and again claimed a Golden Globe as an actress for her role in this film.
In the late 1990s, she played in Zeffirelli’s measured melodrama “Tea with Mussolini.”
And then she disappeared from the screens for a long time, returning only in 2003 in the comedy Stuck on You with Damon, directed by the Farrelly brothers.
Blown up the charts again
During the period of “film quiet,” Cher experienced a new surge in popularity associated with the album and the 1998 single “Believe” of the same name. The composition of the singer (who was already over fifty at the time) blew up the charts, it boomed from all the recording devices in the world and received a Grammy.
The star’s farewell tour, which took place from 2002 to 2005 (325 shows), was a great success, and from 2008 the singer performed at concert venues in Las Vegas until the beginning of 2011.
Controversial "Burlesque"
Critics' opinions about the 2010 musical "Burlesque" with Christina Aguilera and Cher were contradictory: the story of the next "Cinderella of Music" is quite banal, and the role of a middle-aged cabaret hostess who can go away for debts brought Cher a nomination for the "Golden Raspberry".
But the song that our heroine recorded for the film (“You Haven't Seen the Last of Me”) received a Golden Globe.
Family and children of Cher (singer)
The father and mother of the pop star were representatives of different nationalities. The mother is American and the father is Armenian. Therefore, we can say that Cher is a half-breed. When she was born, her parents were already divorced, and the girl met her father only a few years after birth.
In a sense, Cher repeated the fate of her mother. She also became a popular actress and was married twice. Both of these marriages, although they ended in divorce, gave the woman two children - a girl and a boy. Thus, there is every reason to say that Cher’s family and children are a rather sore subject for the singer.
Not a boy or a girl: 8 stars who are raising their children gender-neutral
Almost every adult, remembering their childhood, experiences a pleasant warmth. As a child, everything seemed exactly as it should be, even without technological gadgets and newfangled fashion trends and social phenomena.
But if everything was so good in our childhood, why does the approach to raising modern children change almost every second, and sometimes these changes seem simply absurd?

The whole point is that we are not our children, and they are not us. The world around us is no longer the same as it used to be, and trying to fit a child born in the 2000s into the standards of the 90s or 80s is like forcing a cactus to bloom and smell somewhere in the taiga.

Modern children from the cradle have access to all the information in the world, and, having owned it, they are unlikely to want to squeeze into the framework imposed by someone. Limiting a child from achieving progress is also not a solution, because everyone knows that forbidden fruit is sweet, and when something is forbidden, you only want it more.
Therefore, there is nothing left but to adapt to your children and provide them with exactly the conditions in which they can find their true calling and realize their potential.

Oddly enough, in the era of feminism and tolerance, the gender roles and frameworks familiar to our generation can prevent children from developing harmoniously.
Most people don’t even think about them, because the older generation didn’t even face the question of choosing their gender; if you were born a boy, become strong and reliable; a woman, be sweet and caring.

But for modern children, two options are too few, they want everything at once: to show masculinity in some areas, and femininity in others, without being at all attached to the gender that nature has determined for them.

This is why many parents in the West already practice gender-neutral parenting. Let me clarify right away: neutral does not mean genderless; a child acquires gender, but determines it himself, according to his own feelings.

And if a boy who is raised according to this method begins to wear dresses, this does not mean that he will grow up feeling like a girl. Perhaps he is simply trying on different roles to better understand which one is closer to him. And in addition to the social manifestation of personality, such upbringing erases all boundaries in the development of the child’s creative abilities.

1. Kate Hudson
The actress recently gave birth to a daughter, and before that she was already a happy mother of two sons. But the issue of gender neutrality became critical for her precisely with the advent of her third child.
While little Rani is still too young to have troubles with gender, Kate believes that when the time comes, she will give her daughter absolute freedom and will not impose any specific gender role: “Not all girls want to be princesses, some want to be kings, and that suits me.”

2. Adele
Adele's position is very similar to Kate's. She is raising her son Angelo herself and is ready for him to decide his gender in the future. More than anything else, the singer respects the human right to freedom of expression, and, in her opinion, this freedom should exist in all areas of life.

3. Gwen Stefani
The singer's three sons are already at the age when gender stereotypes begin to influence their lives. But loyal Gwen allows them to paint their nails and dress up in dresses whenever they want, thus giving the children complete freedom of creative expression.

4. Pink
Society has had too many complaints about Pink as a mother lately. Either she posted the wrong photo on her Instagram, or she is teaching children too dangerous activities. In general, there are enough reasons.
But this did not shake the singer’s determination to raise her children in an atmosphere of freedom. Judging by the smiles of her children, she is doing everything right.
5. Will Smith
The actor and singer is also very loyal to his children. However, his sons and daughter are not children at all, the youngest Willow is already 18, but it is thanks to the fact that Will and his wife created ideal conditions for their children to unleash their creative potential, each of them is now successful in their field.
When the youngest son Jaden began periodically dressing up in skirts and dresses, and then generally became the face of the Louis Vuitton women's clothing line, Will did not object, and to those who tried to get some kind of reaction from him he said that he did not like to give out parenting advice and just wanted so that his children can be themselves.

6. Charlize Theron
The actress has two adopted children, her eldest son Jackson and her youngest daughter Augusta. But lately, “girls” and “daughters” have been increasingly mentioned in her speech, and Jackson now constantly wears girlish outfits and long hair.
Obviously, the child prefers the female gender role, at least for now. But Charlize, like a real mother, did not love her son less because of this or tried to impose boyish stereotypes and norms of upbringing on him.

7. Megan Fox
The actress has three sons; it’s too early to say anything about the youngest, Journey, but the eldest, Noah and Bodie, only wear long hair and very often wear dresses or other girlish outfits.
The public is a little shocked by such a clear manifestation of permissiveness in raising children, but Megan does not care at all. For her, the most important thing is that the boys feel comfortable and that they develop in the most favorable and free environment.
