Cher doesn't appear to be too thrilled about turning another year older.

While attending the premiere of the documentary Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion at the Paley Center in Los Angeles earlier this week, the music icon, who turns 78 on Monday, May 20, revealed how she plans to spend her special day.

"[I'll be] putting my pillow over my head and screaming," Cher told Entertainment Tonight.

When asked the same question at the event by E! News, the "Believe" singer echoed similar sentiments, stating, "I'm putting my head under the bed."

Last year, Cher celebrated her 77th birthday on X (formerly Twitter) by asking when she would feel her age.

"Ok, Will Someone 🙏🏼 PLEASE Tell me…..When Will I Feel OLD👶🏻," she wrote at the time. "This is ridiculous."

"I keep hearing these numbers, but I Honestly can't understand them. WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH #'s⁉️ I'm dyslexic & #'s Are hard 4 me," Cher added.

Back in November, Cher appeared on Good Morning Britain and opened up about her thoughts on aging.

“I just can’t believe I will be 80 at some point, sooner than I wish," she said. "And I will still be wearing my jeans and I will still be wearing long hair and I will still be doing the same stuff I’ve always done.”
