\u201cI thought, \u2018Isn\u2019t my talent enough? A nose job would hurt and be expensive.\u2019 Besides, how could I trust anyone to do exactly what I wanted and no more?\u201d she wrote in her memoir My Name Is Barbra.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cIt was too much of a risk. And who knew what it might do to my voice? Once a doctor told me I had a deviated septum\u2026Maybe that\u2019s why I sound the way I do. Besides, I liked long noses\u2026The Italian actress Silvana Mangano had one, and everyone seemed to think she was beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kate Winslet<\/p>\n
Kate Winslet <\/a>has long spoken out against plastic surgery, taking a vow not to go under the knife for any cosmetic procedures during her lifetime. She says it goes against her morals — and doesn\u2019t make sense for someone who works as an actress.<\/p>\n \u201cI will never give in. It goes against my morals, the way that my parents brought me up and what I consider to be natural beauty,\u201d Kate shared back in 2011<\/a>. \u201cI am an actress, I don’t want to freeze the expression of my face.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 11 Stars Who Dished On Their Worst Wardrobe Malfunctions<\/p>\n View Story\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Sarah Paulson<\/p>\n Sarah Paulson<\/a> is all about aging naturally and she\u2019s fairly certain that she\u2019ll never go under the knife. While looking to the future, Sarah explained that the idea of plastic surgery makes her panic, especially since she doesn\u2019t know how she\u2019d look post-procedure — which could negatively impact the rest of her career.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIn my heart of hearts, I feel pretty strongly that I\u2019m never going to. But I also am not at the moment where I look in the mirror and go [gasps],\u201d Sarah shared with Bustle<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t judge anyone who does it. It’s just, for me, I actually have panic. Some people\u2019s faces really take to it well, other people\u2019s faces do not. And you kind of don\u2019t know until you do it. As an actress who wants to work when I\u2019m 80, if I mess it up in my early 40s, then I’m f–ked.”<\/p>\n Meryl Streep<\/p>\n Meryl Streep<\/a> considers aging a gift and for her, growing older gracefully doesn\u2019t involve plastic surgery. The actress says she\u2019s never gotten any cosmetic procedures done, partially because she\u2019s seen how it can negatively impact other actors.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I see it in people I meet, it\u2019s like an interruption in communication with them,\u201d she admitted to Vanity Fair<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s like a flag in front of the view, and that, for an actor, is like wearing a veil — it\u2019s not a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 16 Stars Who Won’t Touch Their Face With Botox<\/p>\n View Story\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Jodie Foster<\/p>\n Jodie Foster<\/a> is at a point in her life where she says<\/a> she sees many of her peers \u201cgetting all plumped and shooting s–t into their face\u201d — but it\u2019s not for her. Jodie explained that she\u2019d rather look like herself than have someone look at her and think she had a bad plastic surgery procedure.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not my thing. I don\u2019t have anything against it for other people. Whatever they want to do, I\u2019m fine with it. For me, it\u2019s really a self-image thing. Like, I\u2019d rather have somebody go, \u2018Wow, that girl has a bad nose\u2019 than, \u2018Wow, that girl has a bad nose job.\u2019 I\u2019d rather have a comment about who I am than about something that identifies me as being ashamed of who I am,\u201d she told More magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n Emma Thompson<\/p>\n Emma Thompson<\/a> has long thought that plastic surgery was not a \u201cnormal\u201d thing to do. On many occasions she\u2019s questioned why other people choose to go under the knife to completely change their appearance.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s mad. It\u2019s not a normal thing to do, and the culture that we\u2019ve created that says it\u2019s normal is not normal. Why do people ask persons to cut them open and put things into their body? What is that, what are we doing to ourselves?\u201d she said to Hello Magazine<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cIt\u2019s chronically unhealthy, and there\u2019s this very serious side to all of that because we\u2019re going to end up with this sort of \u2018super-culture\u2019 that\u2019s going to suggest to young people, girls and boys, that this looks normal. And it’s not normal.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10 Celebrities Who Can Speak Three or More Languages<\/p>\n View Story\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Halle Berry<\/p>\n While Halle Berry<\/a> has faced plastic surgery rumors, she says it\u2019s not for her. In 2015, she shared her thoughts on going under the knife, explaining that while she often felt pressure to change her appearance, she wanted to age naturally and always look like herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you see everybody around you doing it, you have those moments when you think, \u2018To stay alive in this business, do I need to do the same thing?\u2019 I won’t lie and tell you that those things don\u2019t cross my mind because somebody is always suggesting it to me,” she told Yahoo! Beauty<\/a> in 2015.\u00a0<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cIt’s almost like crack that people are trying to push on you. That\u2019s what I feel like. I just have kept reminding myself that beauty really is as beauty does, and it is not so much about my physical self. Aging is natural, and that\u2019s going to happen to all of us. I just want to always look like myself, even if that\u2019s an older version of myself. I think when you do too much of that cosmetic stuff, you become somebody else in a way.\u201d<\/p>\n Julia Roberts<\/p>\n Julia Roberts<\/a> has said she\u2019s never had plastic surgery — even though she knows that looking older may end up being detrimental to her career. She explained that she prefers the idea of aging naturally and being able to maintain her range of facial expressions.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don\u2019t even give themselves a chance to see what they\u2019ll look like as older persons,\u201d she shared with Elle<\/a>. \u201cI want to have some idea of what I\u2019ll look like before I start cleaning the slates. I want my kids to know when I\u2019m pissed, when I\u2019m happy, and when I\u2019m confounded. Your face tells a story…and it shouldn\u2019t be a story about your drive to the doctor\u2019s office.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10 Celebrities Who Absolutely Loved Their 50s<\/p>\n View Story\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Drew Barrymore<\/p>\n Drew Barrymore<\/a> says that so far in her life, she\u2019s avoided any plastic surgery procedures. While she\u2019s abstained thus far, she doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s something she should even consider in the future due to her addictive personality.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve never done anything to my face and I would like to try not to,\u201d she said on an episode of The Drew Barrymore Show<\/a> in 2021, adding, \u201cThe thing that I do care about and I do feel is still relevant to my life is the face. I know myself. I\u2019m a highly addictive person. I do one injection, I\u2019m going to look like Jocelyn Wildenstein by Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n Pink<\/p>\n Pink <\/a>says she can\u2019t get behind plastic surgery procedures — even though she admits she\u2019s noticed herself aging and has considered going under the knife. While she\u2019s thought about it, she\u2019s ultimately decided that it\u2019s not in her best interest, noting that she feels \u201cfortunate\u201d because she\u2019s always depended on her talent instead of her appearance.<\/p>\n \u201cDear Me, you\u2019re getting older. I see lines. Especially when you smile. Your nose is getting bigger\u2026 You look (and feel) weird as you get used to this new reality. But your nose looks like your kids, and your face wrinkles where you laugh\u2026 and yeah you idiot\u2026 u smoked,\u201d Pink wrote in a now-deleted post<\/a>.<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cEvery once in a while, you consider altering your face, and then you watch a show where you want to see what the person is feeling\u2026 and their face doesn\u2019t move. I cannot get behind it. I just can\u2019t\u2026So get on board cause I am about to AGE THE OL FASHIONED WAY.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/57dd2babcdb24a27a240ec5a156bb8c8_xs.jpg\")
