No to Botox: Rachel Weisz
Posted on July 9, 2009
Botox is among the most popular methods in keeping one’s skin free from wrinkles, and a lot of celebs take this age-defying technique to stay young and fresh always. But there’s actually one star who is against Botox, and even wants it banned from actors’ use. Who is she? It’s Rachel Weisz.
The Brit beauty says actors work by using their facial expressions to reflect emotions-and since Botox hinders them from making the facial moves to keep their skin free from wrinkles, then they would not be good actors anymore. She even compared botox to steroids-which athletes use to gain muscle. I think I have to agree with Rachel here-what’s the point of staying young if you can’t function well as an actor mainly because your botox operation prevented you from doing so?

One comment 
Weisz said Botox injections should be banned for all actors. But to compare the procedure to steroids is like comparing a Chihuahua to a mountain lion. Barry Bonds’ head has grown as much as his body. You can see the effects of years of steroids. It’s not known by the general public what other side effects he may be suffering, but long-term use is extremely dangerous.
Nicole Kidman, on the other hand, looks just fine. I agree with Rachel Weisz that Botox injections are a waste of money, and she seems to be doing well without them. But steroid use is a real problem in this country, and to trivialize it by comparing it to Botox makes absolutely no sense.
Steroids and Botox have nothing in common. Rachel Weisz is right, though. In America, we are obsessed with the way we look. That’s more of a psychological problem. But she goes on to say that the use of Botox injections leave actors less able to convey emotion, and that it harms the acting industry as much as steroids harm athletes.
You’ve got to be kidding.
