Celebs and their plastic surgery

Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson, and Rachel Weisz Form Trio Against Plastic Surgery

Prominent actresses Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson, and Rachel Weisz are going public with their refusal to have plastic surgery… ever.  The Telegraph is reporting:

“It goes against my morals, the way that my parents brought me up and what I consider to be natural beauty,” says the 35-year-old star of Titanic. “I will never give in.”

Winslet, who is the daughter of “jobbing actors” from Berkshire, adds: “I am an actress, I don’t want to freeze the expression of my face.”

Her comments echo those by her Oscar-winning friend Emma Thompson, to whom she has been close since they appeared together in Sense and Sensibility in 1995.

“I’m not fiddling about with myself,” said Thompson, 52. “We’re in this awful youth-driven thing now where everybody needs to look 30 at 60.”

Rachel Weisz, 41, who won an Oscar for her role in The Constant Gardener, said: “People who look too perfect don’t look sexy or particularly beautiful.”

Well whoopdie-damn-doo!

It’s pretty easy for them to claim they won’t change their looks.  None of them are known primarily for their beauty anyway, but for their superb acting talent.  For Rachel and Kate, let’s see what they do when they age and the roles potentially dry up.  Hollywood isn’t kind to most aging actresses without the last name Sarandon or Streep, so I sympathize with those aging actors and actresses who’ve had work done.  Many of them are just doing whatever they can to help themselves stay in the spotlight.  To me the three actresses’ comments reek of arrogance.  Easy to throw stones when you are on top of the mountain!

If it’s done in a conservative, tasteful way plastic surgery can help people preserve their youthful beauty.  You don’t have to ”freeze the expression on (your) face” when you get Botox.  Many people look great with a small amount, and can still emote just fine.  It isn’t for everyone, but don’t knock the ones who use it!

    I remember reading Cameron Diaz said she would never get Botox, but it sure looked like she had it in the last movie I saw her in – “The Bad Teacher.”

    I agree with Dr. Youn. It’s very easy for these women to take such a staunch stance because they’re wealthy and established. Kate W. says it’s against her morals…as if cosmetic surgery is some kind of sin? Ridiculous. These women are judging where they shouldn’t because everyone has her/his own opinion and has the right to do what they wish. And I’m LOL-ing because Emma Thompson need not worry about ‘fiddling about with’ herself because it ain’t that face of hers that brought her success.

    But didn’t Kate Winslet have a nose job?? I could swear she has. Seems like so many in Hollywood like to pretend they’ve never had work done when it is very obvious to most.

    I don’t agree. There are way too many actresses and presenters out there whose faces distract me from their roles. If Hollywood isn’t nice to ageing actresses, then it is time to change Hollywood, not time to freeze your face. Don’t get me wrong. I am not against cosmetic surgery if it alters certain imperfections, but way too many older actresses look like they have been embalmed and it would be very nice to see an older actress who resembles a normal everyday person.

    That’s nice and all, but they are all naturally beautiful. I did have plastic surgery and it was rhinoplasty to get rid of huge bump on my nose. I’m thinking that if any of these women had a big old hook nose like I did, they would not be where they are today.

    Cosmetic surgery for the most part, is elective. It is a choice. As such, no one has any business getting up into anyone else’s business and play a judge. One’s body, one’s choice.

    The only grey are for me is that of people with body dysmorphic disorder. Who, and under which conditions, has the right to say “stop, no more.”

    Did Kate, Emma and Rachel actually mention fillers or neurotoxins? These are not “surgery” anyway, pfft. Temporary injectables. Also, for instance, how about getting very droopy eyelids reduced? My grandmother got that procedure for free in the Soviet Union because it was seen a medical procedure instead of aesthetic. What about deep peels? Where would these ladies draw the line?

    I don’t really care anyway, I do not approve anyone getting all high and mighty about not even considering cosmetic procedures. None of your business.

    What is the bottom line on this? Looking young is good, looking your age is not. I find this extremely unsettling. Personally if I had the disposable income to use on surgery/fills/freezes I would be better off taking that money to a travel agent and going to other parts of the world where I could enjoy looking at faces other than my own.

    Very well performed surgery can improve a person’s looks a great deal, but there is nothing more distracting on an actor or actress than a bad rhinoplasty or excessive Botox. There are a couple of actresses from sitcoms who I can’t watch because of their poor rhinoplasties. All three are attractive women who will age well if they take fantastic care of their skin. They may not cut, but perhaps laser resurfacing procedures and radio frequency treatments won’t be out of the question?
