Shape shifter and Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett has criticized her peers who indulge in a little recreational nipping and tucking:
“For me, I think what will be sexy in 50 years time will be wrinkles. Look at a man or a woman in their 50s and all I see when they have brushed their years away with surgery is self-obsession and fear. That’s not particularly attractive.”
Just don’t mention her wrinkles-are-in philosophy to the skincare company that pays her monster bucks to shill their anti-aging products.
Japanese beauty company SK-II (which is owned by Procter & Gamble) hired her last fall to be the American face of their luxury line, whose products cost up to $300 and are available at Saks Fifth Avenue.
She has said she even gives some of the brand’s age-defying potions to co-stars, including Brad Pitt:
“I’m evangelical about it,” Blanchett says.
I’m all for loving the skin you’re in but maybe she should refrain from criticizing others while making mad bank off of their insecurities, hmm?
Maybe I’m biased because I l-o-v-e Cate Blanchett but unless she is shilling anti-ageing cream, or some other such face potion that makes people with wrinkles feel generally dissed, I think you’re going to have to let her slide on this one.
Mositerisers are good for ones skin and recommend to keep you supple and lovely looking in a somewhat natural way. No entirely comparable to the invasive, time-consuming, expensive, vanity of plastic surgery.
Although $300 for creams might be pushing it.
Ok, BURN HER!
She may not like the knife but she loves the needle … full of botox.
I have to let her slide on this. Surgery is not the same as anti-aging lotions and potions. I would even hold surgery on a completely different plane than Botox, though I am not a fan of the frozen face look. Even for $300 which I would never pay for a face cream even if I had the cash to burn on that sort of thing, there’s a huge difference between slapping some cream on your face before bed and having someone take a scalpel to it.
Yeah, she’s talking about surgery. And she’s right–look at Kenny Rogers!! Face creams are a different matter, and regardless, they don’t work. And she must not be “full of botox”, because she very clearly has crows feet.
The more wrinkles she gets, the smaller her hollywood paycheck will get
I have to let her slide on this … she’s shilling anti-aging products in Japan. She probably made that comment in the US. Japan is like 15 billion-million miles away from the US. You can’t count that.
This one is a pretty big stretch - creams do not equal surgery.
Direct slam at 40 yr old Jen Aniston, who’s resconstructed her face. Oh wait. Aniston is a TV sit-com hack, so maybe not.
DUH! They’re right. And, botox? Why, ony because her face isn’t falling to pieces?…Hey, she’s not even 40 yet!
