AIBU to think famous women don't look worse because they age, it's because of the surgery.

Not going to name any specific women actors but I was just looking at one of my fave comedians whose just had a face full of fillers and she just didn't look great. She was about the same age as me (early 50s) and my friends and none of them have had anything done, (well maybe a little but it's not obvious if they have), but they all great and I'd be really shocked if any of them started to go down the route of such extreme fillers / botox etc.

I'm not saying I look like I've fallen into the fountain of youth, far from it, but I look, for want of a better word, normal.

I do get there is so much pressure on women in the public eye but after a certain stage of procedures it doesn't make anyone look any younger and just starts to make people look weird.

@Appalonia I’ll bet Brooke looks better in flesh than on screen.

They have to stay believably fuckable unlike men

I think there’s a sweet spot where lots of work is usually an improvement - would I like to look like Nicole Kidman at 70 as she does now? (Know she’s not 70 yet) Hell yes, if a toss up between this & saggy crone, crepey & old dumpy womanish in MS polyester in Lidl aisles.

Victoria B not an actress but she’s 50 & looks incredible. Look at her Spice Girl audition tapes. Fab work or is it the fish ;) Seriously, she looks amazing.

Totally agree. I find some older actresses almost painful to look at now because the work they've had done just makes them look so...strange. I was watching a film recently with Brooke Shields in, we 're the same age, late 50s and she was so stunning in her youth, but I swear I look better than her now, just cos I haven't messed with my face! ( I DON'T mean that in a boastful way, it's just such a shame what she's done to her face.) I guess actresses are under a lot of pressure from the industry, and quite a few older actors are getting work done now too, which looks even more weird. Even young women are getting work done now, on the latest MAFS, half the women had had botox, fillets etc and it didn't look good!
