Julia Roberts Refuses Botox
Monday, September 27th, 2010Julia Roberts, one of America’s most beautiful women is seen here posing for photographs at the UK premiere of her new flick “Eat, Pray, Love” when she was in London promoting her film. And it seems that just because she is getting up there in age, she feels the need to explain her beauty. As if being naturally gorgeous, down to earth, and living the perfect life just isn’t enough. And while it may be commonplace for most women over 40 in Hollywood to go under the knife or squeeze in a few Botox injections to stay competitive, Julia Roberts says no, she doesn’t need it. Yep, if you love to hate her, she’s just given you another reason. But are we buying that Julia Roberts is growing old gracefully? This is easier to do when you look exactly the same as you did 15 years ago, except with better hair, but let’s give Julia a “way to be” for the sentiment. She recently told Elle she hasn’t had anything done, not even everyone’s favourite bee poison, Botox.
“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. I want to have some idea of what I’ll look like before I start cleaning the slates. I want my kids 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.”
That, and, seriously? No one cares. Leave bigger tips and people will think you’re just as beautiful. I’m surprised there isn’t more of a story on Julia’s face about all the million-dollar smiles she’s flashed. And yet those lines aren’t any deeper than an Ocean’s 11 movie. What’s her secret? She told David Letterman it’s “the love of a good man, good kids [and] I eat a lot.” Surprising! I was going to guess makeup, lighting, and bathing in Jonas Brother blood. That, and Botox. She has to have gone there, she simply has to. As much as we’d love to believe she is a complete natural, ummmm….it just doesn’t add up. Thoughts?
