Jamie Lee Curtis about aging .'Don't mess with your face,'
Jamie Lee Curtis is anti-anti-aging.
The “Halloween” actress bashed Botox and spoke out against plastic surgery in an interview on the “Today” show, declaring herself “pro-aging” and sharing her best advice for her daughters: “Don’t mess with your face.”
And Curtis, 63, is speaking from experience.
“I did plastic surgery,” the star continued. “I put Botox in my head. Does Botox make the big wrinkle go away? Yes. But then you look like a plastic figurine.”
Concluded Curtis, “Walk a mile in my shoes. I have done it. It did not work. And all I see is people now focusing their life on that.”
The “Knives Out” actress, who shares daughters Annie, 35, and Ruby, 26, with husband Christopher Guest, has long been against going under the knife.
“The current trend of fillers and procedures, and this obsession with filtering, and the things that we do to adjust our appearance on Zoom are wiping out generations of beauty,” she said last year. “Once you mess with your face, you can’t get it back.”
And for Curtis, cosmetic surgery came with devastating side effects; after being prescribed painkillers following a minor procedure on her eyes in 1989, she developed an opioid addiction, which she kept a secret for a decade.
“I tried plastic surgery and it didn’t work. It got me addicted to Vicodin. I’m 22 years sober now,” she told Fast Company at the time.
She shared a similar sentiment with the Telegraph back in 2002, telling the outlet, “I’ve had a little lipo. I’ve had a little Botox. And you know what? None of it works. None of it.”
