It was never cut.
Despite being famous for most of her life, Drew Barrymore revealed on Wednesday that she never had plastic surgery, instead choosing to age naturally – for now, at least.
“I never did anything to my face and I would like to try not to,” said the 45-year-old actress during an episode of her talk show, “The Drew Barrymore Show,” adding, “Never say never. “
Barrymore pointed to her personality as part of the reason why she is reluctant to go under the knife.
“What I care about and feel that is still relevant to my life is the face. I know myself. I am a highly addictive person. If I give an injection, I will look like Jocelyn Wildenstein on Friday, ”she joked, referring to the socialite who famously spent millions on various cosmetic surgeries.
“I think I’m so rebellious that I saw all that pressure and I saw all those women torturing themselves to look certain and I thought, ‘You wretches,'” added Barrymore. “I never wanted to be afraid of what life would do to me. I probably went to many opposite ends. Now I’m boring, safe and healthy. “
What’s more, the founder of Flower Beauty said she doesn’t care about some fine lines or white hair. “We are going to grow old, things are going to get worse and everything is fine and it’s a part of life and I feel more human and more vulnerable every year of my life, but I also know how to value each year more and more, too,” she concluded .
Barrymore, who was candid about childhood drug use and rehab stays, shared a similar sentiment in a 2019 interview with Glamor UK, saying, “I never used heroin and I don’t want to have plastic surgery because I feel that both are very steep. slippery. I feel that if I try, I will be dead very soon. “
At the time, she added that she hopes to set a good example for her daughters, Frankie, 6, and Olive, 8, with her stance.
“We went too far with [plastic surgery], especially when such young people are doing it, ”said Barrymore. “I feel that growing old is a privilege. It’s about doing it with grace, with humor, self-love and respect for the process, and that has always been very important to me. So I started having girls and I thought, thank God, those were my initial instincts. Now I can do them in an even deeper and deeper way. “
