#19: Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts speaks out against the prevailing culture of panic and body dysmorphia in our society during an interview with ELLE. She laments how women rush to erase the signs of aging without giving themselves the chance to embrace their natural journey. Roberts expresses her desire to witness her own aging process, believing that her face tells a story – one that should reflect her genuine emotions, not a series of visits to the doctor’s office.
She emphasizes the importance of her children being able to read her expressions, whether she’s angry, happy, or puzzled. For Roberts, this authentic narrative etched on her face takes precedence over pursuing a perfectly polished appearance. In a world where surgical enhancements are the norm, she acknowledges her choice not to have a facelift as a bold departure from Hollywood standards.
