Rachel Weisz: Ban Botox!
Rachel Weisz doesn’t dig the frozen faces of Hollywood, she tells the August 2009 issue of UK’s Harper’s Bazaar (via Fox News).
“It should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen,” the 39-year-old British actress says of Botox. “Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?”
As for fashion, Rachel says, “I love the way girls in London dress; it’s so different to the American ‘blow-dry and immaculate grooming’ thing.”

Rachel does make a very good point, i would want to watch an actor who can give a wide range of emotion than an actor who can’t even open their eyes.
Americans haven’t looked clean since the 1950’s
i’m digging the make-up…it goes with her coloring..oh i just love the make-up!!
@Cindy: Nobody is giving me names here. There are thousanda of actors and most of them do not abuse it, simply as that.
Rachel comparing steroids to botox is wrong. Athletes compete and steroids does a number of things to the body.. but botox if used properly can keep you looking attractive and thats whats important with females in that industry.
I respect Rachel Weisz much more now than i ever did before for saying it as it is. My sister went for botox injections in the lips and her lips swelled to the point of them almost bursting. Its not a question of beauty, its a question of self esteem and people who take botox run a heavy risk of infection and permanent damage to the tissue where it’s being injected into.
Its about time people spoke out on what is really going on.
@Jane:
Off the top of my head:
Priscilla Presley
Meg ryan
Nicolle Kidman
The Socialite who wanted to be a cat ( Don’t asked)
There are just a few examples of Botox gone wrong.
Actually comparing steroids to Botox is kind of right. Both of them are enhancing a certain part of the body and both of them have very bad side affects if abused.
Rachel is right in saying that and they should be some form of limit of how much you can use.
@Kevin: I agree with your list.. minus Meg..but they aren’t the most demanded actors by far. And only a small percentage in total.
My point was dont knock it till you try it.. or need it anyway. She will in the coming years if she wants to stay relevant and a little botox doesn’t hurt. Thats all :)
She’s right. heaven forbid someone age nowadays.
@voe:
Really? I’m 26 and with white skin. I have no lines on my face.
@Jane:
Sorry but you don’t need botox to stay relevant. Botox is just a drug, not a necessity and those who have self-esteem would not need to put that in their bodies to feel that they are relevant.
And i would definitely put Meg Ryan on that list of botox mishaps and add Lisa Rinna to it as well.
@Megan: In hollywood? of course you do. All the most demanded actors have gotten a lil somethin somethin done. There are very few with amazing genes.
@Stephanie: How is it a fair comparison? When using botox you’re doing it to yourself. Like steroids yeah, but steroids is used to cheat. You dont deserve to win if you use steroids.
Minimal botox can get rid of your wrinkles.. i dont see the HUGE fuss unless you look like Joan rivers
I would want to have a woman like Rachel, who has a bit of character in her face than a woman who can’t even smile because her face is too tight.
I agree with Rachel.
I have a actor friend who injected some Botox in his face, not a pretty sight and he does look very odd. What Rachel said was correct, they should be some kind of regulation on this procedure.
Wait until you hit the later ages and you will be getting lots of botox girlfriend.
Hmmmm…..there are some real Botox lovers on this post. Defending their “miracle” drug like nothing else. How lovely.
@kookiekandy:
With how beautiful she is now, i doubt she would need it. plus i think she’s absolutely right in her opinion about botox. People do need to know more about it before they ruined their face with it.
@pixy: Yeah because a young woman like me would need botox. Don’t make assumptions about people you have never seen before.
I agree with everything Rachel said. Nothing worst that to see an actor who has Botox his or her face to the point of them looking robotic. It takes you away from the film you are watching and its sad to see.

who needs Botox when you have photoshop
Love Rachel, she is so naturally beautiful.
She looks exactly like Keira Knightly
lol she is full of ****. She is totally a botox user and has been using it for years. She had far more lines back in her Mummy days than she has now - ten years later. Or maybe she really doesnt use botox and had a full face lift already but she has definitely had work.
