Jamie Lee Curtis may be known for her role as Laurie Strode in the Halloween movie franchise, but she looks anything but scary.
However, the 64-year-old actress has opened up about getting plastic surgery in the past, and why she tells her daughters to avoid it.
“Don’t mess with your face,” the actress advised while speaking on US morning show Today. “I put Botox in my head. Does Botox make the big wrinkle go away? Yes. But then you look like a plastic figurine,” she continued.
When it comes to plastic surgery and aging, Curtis hopes her children will learn from her experiences: “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.”
This certainly isn't the first time Curtis has opened up about aging. Per The Telegraph, the True Lies star told More magazine back in 2002: “I’ve had a little lipo. I’ve had a little Botox. And you know what? None of it works. None of it.”
Instead of making herself feel better, the star admitted going under the knife just made her feel worse - Curtis ended up “addicted to Vicodin” after a procedure that removed fat from under her eyes, although thankfully she is now “22 years sober,” she confessed in an interview with FastCompany last year.
Although the star believes her children are “grounded people” - she is worried about the impact social media is having on influencing people’s decision to get plastic surgery.
“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,” Curtis told FastCompany.
The actress is now an advocate for the term "pro-aging".
At the Radically Reframing Aging Summit, per Today, Curtis shared her point of view on aging: “This word ‘anti-aging’ has to be struck.
“I am pro-aging. I want to age with intelligence, and grace, and dignity, and verve, and energy.”
Fans of Curtis are also behind her pro-aging attitude, with one user calling the actress “a natural beauty.”
While, of course, it is entirely a personal choice to undergo plastic surgery, we say who wouldn’t want to look as good as the legend that is Jamie Lee Curtis at 64?
