Julia Roberts Aging? Yes, but Forget about Botox
(CBS) Does she or doesn't she? When it comes to Botox, Julia Roberts says the answer is "no."
And she's not much of a fan of cosmetic surgery either.
The 42-year-old actress told Elle magazine she thinks it's unfortunate that "we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons."
That outlook seems to be a rare commodity in Hollywood. Actors over 40 who have had no work done are very rare, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Cosmetic surgeons in Hollywood say that nearly every single older actor has used Botox or something similar, if not actual surgery.
Even celebrities who are too young to have wrinkles are getting Botox.Last month CBS News reported that 18-year-old singer Charice prepared for her debut on the hit Fox TV show "Glee" by getting Botox injections and an anti-aging procedure "to look fresh on camera."
Roberts wants to set a different example for her own children. She says she wants them "to know when I'm pissed, when I'm happy, and when I'm confounded. Your face tells a story... and it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office."
