In a world that is preoccupied with youthfulness, shifting the focus back to aging gracefully and embracing the natural course of change can seem difficult. But a few celebrities seem to have it all figured out! Meditation, frequency devices, spiritual practices, acceptance, and, in some cases, hesitation—these stars have unique reasons for not succumbing to pressure regarding how they look and choosing not to opt for procedures to “enhance” their appearance.
Over the years, Salma Hayek has maintained an all-natural stance on her appearance. In a podcast interview on Kelly Ripa’s Let’s Talk Off Camera, the Grown Ups star explained why she has kept her distance from surgery and Botox and what she does instead. She credits her youthful radiance to two unexpected practices—frequency devices and meditation. Speaking to Ripa on the podcast, Hayek shared, “I do a lot of the frequency machines, and they work on me better than on anyone … And just the meditation itself … sometimes when I’m doing it, people tell me when I come out of the room, ‘Oh my God, you look 20 years old!’’
Celebrated as one of Hollywood’s golden girls for her incredibly successful career that spans over three decades, Julia Roberts has it all. Over the years, many people have asked how the Pretty Woman star has maintained her stunning looks and whether she underwent any surgeries at all. Thankfully, Roberts has been quite open about these topics. It turns out she did try Botox once. Sharing her experience with Access Online, she said, “I tried the Botox one time and was permanently surprised for a couple [of] months. It was not a cute look for me.”
In an interview with Elle in 2010, Roberts also shared, “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.”
Revealing the secret behind her stunning looks, she told British Vogue it’s all thanks to “good genes, leading a life that is fulfilling, and I have said this—and I say it usually as kind of a joke—but I do believe in the love of a good man.”
There has been a lot of speculation surrounding Jennifer Lopez and whether or not she has had surgery. Turning to Instagram, the diva quashed all these rumors by leaving a positive message. Replying to a troll on one of her posts, Lopez said, “LOL that’s just my face!!! For the 500 millionth time, I have never done Botox or any injectable or surgery!! Just sayin.” It didn’t stop there, as she continued to leave an encouraging message for all her fans, saying, “Get you some JLO BEAUTY and feel beautiful in your own skin!! And here is another JLO BEAUTY secret: try spending your time being more positive, kind, and uplifting of others. Don’t spend your time trying to bring others down. That will keep you youthful and beautiful, too!!! Sending you love.”
Halle Berry opened up about her views on plastic surgery back in 2020. In an interview with Yahoo! Beauty, the Moonfall star emphasized the importance of embracing one’s natural beauty, saying, “We have to stop wanting to look like that decade before. We have to stop coveting that. Let it go and embrace it now and really be okay. It’s easy to say, I guess, but that’s the goal.”
Like most actresses in Hollywood, the evergreen beauty Heidi Klum has also been subjected to various rumors about surgeries. However, Klum has publicly denied all these claims, telling CNN, “I’ve never done anything, I’ve been too scared, to be honest with you … I would have a hard time looking in the mirror and seeing something that I’m not used to seeing. I’d be afraid!”
Well-known actor and singer Barbra Streisand was one of the first performers to get the coveted EGOT status, having received an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. That speaks volumes about her skills, doesn’t it?
Turns out, a lot of people in the industry didn’t think so. In her memoir My Name Is Barbra, Streisand addressed the endless pressure of being a performer under public scrutiny and the constant “suggestions” she received asking her to get a nose job and dental caps. Still, she stayed true to her spirit. She continued to explain her hesitation regarding going under the knife, saying, “Isn’t my talent enough? A nose job would hurt and be expensive. Besides, how could I trust anyone to do exactly what I wanted and no more?”
Another actor who has aged gracefully through the years is Eddie Murphy. A part of the industry since 1982, the lead actor of 48 Hrs. has maintained his natural looks and embraced the years as they come.
There you have it! It looks like there’s a message here for everyone—beauty isn’t about surgeries and the way a person looks. Rather, it all lies in what makes them feel most comfortable in their own skin.
