Some habits are hard to break.

And old puffer Melanie Griffith could not resist sparking up a cigarette as she went for a leisurely stroll with her stepson Jessie Johnson in Aspen on Wednesday.

The 59-year-old beauty looked ageless as she indulged in one of her favourite vices while they enjoyed the fresh air in the posh Colorado skiing getaway.

The Working Girl star looked elegant as ever in a black fur coat, pullover, leggings and knee-high boots.

She rounded off her trendy ensemble with a pair of chic dark sunglasses.

The superstar, who last starred in TV movie Nerd Herd, was joined on her outing by her actor stepson Jessie Johnson, whose father is her Miami Vice star former husband Don and his former partner Patti D'Arbanville

But it seems Melanie has been drinking at the fountain of youth, for she looked more like his sibling as they walked side-by-side down the street.

The actress started dating Don when she was just 14, and they married when she turned 18, though they split soon after. They remarried in 1989, but seperated after she fell in love with her married co-star, and future husband, Antonio Banderas.

And their daughter Dakota Johnson, the star of 2015 blockbuster Fifty Shades Of Grey, previously blasted the film industry, accusing it of being ageist towards female actresses.

The 27-year-old is unhappy that her mother and actress grandmother Tippi Hedren, 86, do not get more roles.

Dakota told Vogue: 'Why isn't my mother in the movies? She's an extraordinary actress. Why isn't my grandmother in the movies? This industry is f***ing brutal.'

Melanie is back on the market after her divorce from Antonio, which the couple said they were doing 'in a loving and friendly manner,' was finalised in December 2015.
